Why nofap is absolutely critical!

This exactly. It's like reading my own thoughts. I'd like to add that I feel that I need to look beyond those goals of 30 or 90 days. I can't treat them as a goal - because my mind will use such a goal or milestone as a reason to start PMO-ing again.

For instance, you can't quit smoking for 30 days. You gotta quit for life. There's no room for porn in your life, anymore. For ever. Realize that you're not giving up something nice you'd secretly prefer to keep doing. You're giving up something that has absolutely no positive value for you whatsoever.

(Not saying you didn't mean this or to sound like a know-all, I just started refraining from PMO-ing, amongst smoking tobacco and marijana - I'm just pep-talking myself, and breaking my mind patterns, haha.)

Thanks for your awesome and true post.

 

What an amazing community this is. Thank you guys for sharing these words of wisdom. Peace peace peace

 

Ya. noFap helps me out too as well. It's a good website to be on.

 

I am stuck in my own world and I always meditate on my problems and how to solve them per se. I am not too worried or concerned about others and I like to name myself the meditative monk lol. I like to be in groups and to attend church.

 

Real talk brother ! I needed this ! very well said ! Thank you !

 

some motivation

 

I agree with all of this, except for when you state that "A life of failure is no life at all." I realize that it is meant to be inspirational, however I think that a better thing to say is " A life of a quitter is no life at all." This is due to the fact that it doesn't matter how many times you fail, as long as you keep trying you will succeed eventually. Hell, most businessmen have on average 4 failed attempts before becoming successful. Just some food for thought.

 

Hah. Good one. But it's more of we are recovering, rather than quitting. At least that is how I think of it.

 

Life as a failure is worth living until you don't give up!! "Life as a failure is not worth living" sounds too suicidal and stupid. There is always a chance to make your life beautiful even when you are 70 years old and you failed 9875698345x before.
