I have been on this website for seven hours. I've thought of going on this website maybe once every six days or so before I started a journal today. I thought that might have been a good segway to leave but I'm addicted. My hypothesis is that these forums may be some sort of replacement for my PMO addiction but now its kinda distracting me from college work. Any thoughts?
Not the best thing to be lurking on here for that long but I get it, it's nice to find a community of people who are on the same journey.
If this place is a problem you should either start a paper journal or find a way to limit this site completely until a certain time of day.
I 100% agree. In fact, I believe Nofap itself is really one big distraction, designed to distract people from their addiction by applying generic self-help advice spread around by the sight. Sure, you get a slight dopamine rush when you get a new alert, but so many people - including my Accountability Partners - go awol shortly after arriving. Sometimes interesting conversations pop up, but it's slowly peetering out... For me, the goal is to find satisfying activities outside of the internet as a whole, because over the years, I've found that the internet is becoming the same way. You grow apart from some people you like speaking to, forums and other sites lose their momentum, and then finally you start thinking "What on Earth am I doing here?" The internet is just becoming boring to me these days, or maybe my brain is desperately trying to fill the PMO void with something else.
