    Oh boy I'm just a little too good at this,



    I think part of improving is just getting to know who you are. Lol if you don't know yourself how can you truly improve yourself hehe?



    Be grateful.

    Stopping the demand starts right here, with you. Even one person can make a world of difference in this fight against sexual exploitation. Are you in?

    We refuse to stay silent. We won't stop until the whole world understands the harmful effects of pornography. You with us?

    Shout out to Jeremy for taking a stand and repping the movement in Arizona! Keep fighting!

    In our ever-evolving world of technology, it's up to us to see counterfeits of love for what they are.

    Refuse to replace real relationships and natural human sexuality with the synthetic fantasy of porn.

    This world is run by darkness. Save yourselves while there's still light in it. The light is fading. But there is still light to be found.

    Love is all you need. [​IMG]

    A real-life connection with someone is so much better than any pixelated counterfeit.

    I love the lack of ethical and moral fibers in the structure of NoFap, well actually I don't.

    Certain users embody these qualities, but NoFap itself seems to be devoid of them, at least that is the impression I got from the Getting Started reading for the forum here. I suppose these are not appropriate topics to put to the forefront in an addiction recovery program in the sense that making someone feel guilty or ashamed could harm rather than aid one's progress.

    This thread is going full blown ethical morality mode.

    Unfortunately, a lot of the time it seems like society views watching porn as a harmless personal habit. Science and research are telling a much different story—porn affects the brain, damages relationships, and contributes to sexual exploitation in society. It's only by being bold and taking a stand that we can make NOT watching porn the new norm.

    If you don't suffer from a true addiction, having no morals or ethics could very well keep you in a cycle of watching porn. If you suffer from a true addiction, well it doesn't hurt to study these topics while also developing love for yourself and others. By practicing self compassion and deepening your understanding of yourself this will happen naturally.

    Part of my own self improvement IS NOT BACKING DOWN FROM THIS WAR. NO SURRENDER. THIS STRENGTHENS MY OWN RESOLVE TO FIGHT THE TYRANNY WITHIN MY OWN MIND WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BATTLING A CORRUPT WORLD AND INDUSTRY IN THE HOPES OF MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

    I respect people of all beliefs and faiths, as well as those without any who call science their master.

    I will alternate between improvement subjects. Ethical morality mode just means this is my own personal focus. I will certainly try to make this as loving and compassionate an exercise as possible as I love everyone even my enemies.

    It's not easy to love or even be kind to yourself when pornography is directly to blame for your psychological wounds and emotional scars. That's on pornographers.
