    Hey guys, i just hit 5 months of nofap, Day 150. However i sexted (just dirty talk no pics) this girl and then tomorrow we are planning to facetime and basically get off to each other. I know this sounds bad because i've come so far and i basically have already given in and accepted what's gonna happen tomorrow.
    If any of you can talk some sense into me, and change my mind, please do.
    I really am afraid that i will fall back into my old ways if i follow through with this. The problem is that ever since sexting my thoughts have been clouded and dominated by sex. I am soooo excited, yet part of me is saying don't do this. I'd appreciate your thoughts. i feel really ashamed for even feeling this way. And i know i will feel extra guilty later. I have been in this constant state of either repulse or complete horniness. My mindset is off

    If any of you friends could give me some input on your thoughts, i'd appreciate the advice, especially
    @MuscularSherlockHolmes @IWantToBreakFree123 @Moon Shot @GokuTheWarrior @Jessie14 @Shin Iu @JJackson @Mindy @LOSEmyselftoSAVEmyself @What I Do That Defines Me
    @John DK and anyone else i forgot to mention

    I don't wanna let you guys down. The last few days have been terrible. I haven't been productive because i literally can't think about anything besides sex. I started doing many bad things. I checked facebook for the first time in 5 months(then deactivated it), i downloaded kik(i did delete it), basically trying ways to talk to girls??. What am i doing honestly? Someone slap me. And i've hardened my heart too. I feel myself rebelling against God and against my purpose in life. This won't satisfy me will it, it will just bring more lust. Ugh i tried to deal with this alone but i just can't. It's eating me away. Help friends

  2. Hey man, those neural pathways are still there & they will always be there.. Tha's why the thoughts.. The carnal desires never actually leave but we actually try to replace them with healthy outlets.. But you've come a long way now & that's great !! Congratulations on completing 150 days.. Its a very tricky situation you've put yourself in.. Fantasy is a silent killer.. I have read hear if we dont diffuse the fire within mere seconds then relapse is always on the horizon.. Now, it's upto you & your goals whether you want to go ahead with it.. It's your life ultimately.. 1 part of brain will always rationalize that its with real human being but its sexting & facetime (p subs) not the real thing itself but its your call ultimately mate.. Its like addict toiling for one last hit which never is the last hit..

    Thanks bro, that's another thing. I have for the first time totally let my thoughts go. I have been fantasizing nonstop. This is really bad. I haven't been following the 3 second rule. And also last couple nights i slept bad because my thoughts about sex were consuming me and preventing me from relaxing
     
  4. Yes indeed, insomnia, eating too much meat or spicy, spending too much time on the device, etc can make us real horny.. These are the superficial ones.. Deeper are the loneliness, sadness, broken heart, anger, frustration etc.. If we learn to deal with these emotions, then there's no need of escape from reality into fantasy.. God bless you mate if you believe in Him.. Psubs are like silent knives, we dont realize until too much damage is done/until it's too late.. Cheers & good luck mate!!

    I think it's the wrong mindset to think that you've failed if you make a mistake after 150 days of nofap. You've come very far. That should be your focus, no matter what happens. If you relapse, don't think that those 150 days were a waste and now you have to start all over again. Think that this is a journey, and you only had one failure in 151 days. That's not bad. You've not set yourself back to day one. You've achived a lot. You're not the fap guy you were at day one. Be prepared that the first days after the relapse will be hard, like the first days when you initially started this yourney. This I think is the right and natural way to think IF a relapse happens (Not before it happens. That may make you lose motivation!).

  9. Hello goodnice! :)

    I think you know the best decision which you can choose and take it into the action. I see you are feeling aroused for longer peroid of time, but like you personally know, for sure better than me, your unplesant feelings will pass, it's possible that even very soon.

    Like I said before you decide what to do, but I think you have mainly two different kinds of decision to choose from:
    • You can agree. I am affraid that something bad could happen to you, but if it's your closest person, with wich you want to be for your whole life there shouldn't happened anything bad. At the same time I worry if you agree you might want to repete this again, again and again. That's sadly may happen.
    • You can refuse. That might be very suprising for your other half, but on the other side you can show, that you are really conscious man, which takes responsibility for your own, and other people life. You can show, that you hold your life strongly and have control over yourself. You can show that people can rely on you. By this way you can impress her with your strength and build really solid relationship.
    I know you have inner fight inside of you. Remember goodnice, like you know sexual behaviors aren't most important in anyone's life. Of course in specified way sex it's human most important thing, but only for marvel of creating of human and his next generations. I meant whole kind of "sex for fun stuff", it's in fact really unnecessary. This "fun" don't have to, but very often leads onto wrong life paths, look back at history! Many people struggle with those troubles for decades, ages, thousents of years of human existence!

    Just think dear goodnice, just think... What could happen if you agree or disagree? Maybe better would be to forget about this situation and hang out somewhere? Spend great time together in ways, you both will be remember for your whole beautiful life!

    Take care of yourself and choose, what is the best!!!

    Best regards for you and your closest! :)

  10. @goodnice Before you do anything contact this girl and postpone your session with her. Don't cancel, just postpone it till tomorrow, after tomorrow if possible.

    • This is your addict's brain screaming for a dopamine fix. If it was something emotional that stressed you, you need to address it hands on, don't run back to your old ways.
    • Ask yourself this question, why the hell have you been through those 150 days of nofap? 150 bloody tough days of fighting yourself and your urges, of building a discipline ? EXACTLY TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT BACK WHEN MOMENTS LIKE THIS COME! Are you really willing to sacrifice the entire system you've built just for something as pathetic as a facetime fapping session?
    • If you're addict's brain's trying to rationalize this action, it could be telling you that it will only be a minor setback and then you'll get back on track. BUT you have to expect the worst scenario possible; going back into a full-blown relapse which God only knows when you'll recover from. Do you really want to trade all the effort you put, 150 days of hard work, for a momentary fleeting pleasure, which will be instantly followed by a dive back into the abyss of regret, despair, self-hatred... ?
    • Again, if nothing's waking you up, just postpone the bloody session with her. Tomorrow do the same.
    • If you have an AP stay on with them as long as it takes for this to pass.

    I agree. I would discourage you from doing this at all if it feels like you're throwing away your morals or the goals you're working so hard for, but take some time to cool down and reflect before making any decision you may come to regret. Come on, man!

    Love you man seriously! Thanks for this great advice. You are right. This "fun" leads to downfall. I only have to look at history

    I also like what you said here
    "You can refuse. That might be very suprising for your other half, but on the other side you can show, that you are really conscious man, which takes responsibility for your own, and other people life. You can show, that you hold your life strongly and have control over yourself. You can show that people can rely on you. By this way you can impress her with your strength and build really solid relationship."
    The funny thing is last week after the initial dirty talk, i sent her a message saying something like that. I told her i am trying to rebuild my life and about nofap. And then she said okay.. and then a few days later she initiated texting with me 3 times the same day and my mind kept thinking about sexting after that.

    I feel bad because sometimes she might just want to talk normally but now that we have sexted, it's too much of a temptation to talk to her at all..
    Thanks again my dear friend

    Wow thank you. A couple of things you said there that i need to change right now, spending too much time on device- i'm glued to my phone lately. I'm also feeling lonely and am home alone on the weekdays. I have also been somewhat frustrated that i haven't had a wet dream in like 40 days... which i guess is a good thing but my body is also craving that release. I think the reason why it's been so long since wet dream is because i have been doing an ab workout everyday the last 5 weeks which some of the moves are like kegels which supposedly help prevent wet dreams. I also started wearing boxers for the first time which are much looser. These are a couple things that help prevent wet dreams for me.

    God bless you too mate, thanks for your positivity and encouragement

    You're right but as a couple others alluded to and if i'm gonna be honest i myself feel that this won't be just one failure. In fact i've even told other people that and have seen it with so many others. One failure and as @moominfindinglight, the worst case scenario is likely to happen. I will spiral and lose my motivation.
    You're right though and i appreciate what you said. I really don't wanna go back there because i know that it probably wouldn't be just one little minor thing. If it could be, that is if i could just do this once, and then continue like nothing happened, then i would be okay with this. But i can't guarantee that

    I guess these are some of my thoughts trying to combat rationalizing that this would only be a one time minor slip. Thank you for your wise reply

    This woke me up. In my addict minds defense though i have never done this before. I've never sexted before either until this girl. I've never seen a girl i could actually interact with naked. It makes the idea seem so much enticing.
    Anyways thanks for putting in the effort to write this! My brain is trying to rationalize this and when you said expect the worst case scenario i felt that that is what would likely happen to me
