    Hello everyone,

    I trust you're all doing well and progressing on your nofap journeys.

    I'd like to share an insight with you, drawing from my experience of reaching 70 days without pornography and abstaining from any fantasizing involving images on screens. What I've noticed is a profound shift in my mental state, where my mind has returned to the present moments of my life. It now actively engages with my days, contemplating experiences and propelling my life forward.

    Contrastingly, during my days of consuming pornography, it felt as though my mind was trapped in the past, hindering me from fully living in the present. To me, this emerges as the primary issue associated with watching porn.

    In summary, the act of watching porn seems to disconnect the mind from the present moment, creating various challenges as a result.

    Hello, and that's a great insight for sure. Porn definitely encourages obsessive thinking and living in the past is an obsession. My issue has never been letting go of the past, but more like fantasizing and getting lost in thought. In both cases the problem stems from not being in the present moment. Peace

    I'm not stuck in the past but always in the future, never in the present.
