Old Nofap nostalgia

I definitely agree. It was easier to connect and talk freely. Moderation has been too heavy handed especially about porn escalation and HOCD.

 

I originally joined in April 2018 (this is my second account) and things really have changed since then.

 

Yes to a lot of what you say, I started here in 2015. I went away after some success but followed it up with on and off again porn use. The porn use became very bad during the pandemic, and now I'm back.

As far as the veterans are concerned, I would like to think that they recovered and moved on to a healthy life. In reality, only 5% of addicts can sustain their sobriety so I would guess that most of the veterans have fallen off the wagon and are hooked on porn again.

We have a new community, maybe one that spends more time on social media and doesn't bond like the older crowd did a few years back.
I do find that if I spend too much time on Nofap, I'm too focused on thinking about porn and no MO. For me, it's best to only use this site in moderation and spend the majority of my time trying to fix the problems that led to my porn addiction.

Best of luck,
Nomo

 

I feel that way too, but I wouldn't be surprised if everyone does regardless of what nofap era they belong to. Someone joining today who then comes back a few years later will feel dismayed as they realize all their old friends are inactive or deleted their accounts.

 

I think I originally join in 2015 but deleted my old account. Seems to me from 2019 things in this forum started changing.

 

I originally joined in 2017. I think it’s the same almost.. Bit I definitely felt more of a connection with people oddly then to now and this is my third account. It felt like people were more with each other. Maybe we’re just not on enough though.

 

Me too. Originally fall if 2017 for me.

 

I came back here a couple of months ago to read my old journals.
I haven’t relapsed back into porn. I was interested to see what my progress looks like from here.
But I do miss the old accounts that I used to interact with. Lots of good insights that helped me see things differently.
I named this account the same so any of them could find me if they happened to come back on.

 

My first account here was December 2013.

My last relapse was over four years ago but I stick around to encourage others here and there, mostly in conversations.

 

I don't, sorry mate.

Maybe it was not the right time for you. I hope it is now. Try and get an AP to keep you motivated and focused. Good luck!

 

I remember when you deleted your old account. Someone made a thread about it and people were upset. Alexander said he didn't want you to leave but he respected your decision.

 

I remember you. I actually thought you were a different person since you were a new member.

 

Nice to be remembered

 

Yeah, I got hounded by a troll that got banned later for something else. Alexander was very kind and reserved my username if I decided to come back, which I did.

 

5+ years on this forum. It breaks my heart to see some people leave (like Coffee Candy, I thought she'd be here forever)
But . . . it fills me with real joy to see some familiar faces come back and I am very grateful for the handful of fapstronauts who have stuck around for the last few years!
