Your Progress Is My Progress Is Our Progress: Understanding The Underlying Causes Of Addictions

I've read many books on the topic of sexual sublimation too. I'm not on this forum to discuss masturbating or not masturbating ultimately. I'm here to use it as a tool for my own recovery from masturbating which I would only do with sexualized pixels as stimulation. A valuable tool it is. We're lucky to have it offered to us in this day and age when masturbating and porn have become normalized in society.

 

Gosh let me just share two more videos on this subject then I think we can move forward without focusing on our genitals in this thread even if the focus is about not fondling them ourselves anymore:

Relationships.

I don't shun them here. I'm very wary of forming close bonds here as of yet. I fear developing an attachment to other users as that would hook me to the forum once my mission is completed. I'm not trying to be a one man show here but in this thread that is my aim for the most part due to how serious of a note it's going to end on.

Maybe the longer I am clean the more friendly and personable I will choose to become here but for now there is a mission at hand.

 

DON'T JUDGE ME!

I don't judge you.

You can judge me.

Only a Judge in a court of law would be worthy of my attention though.

 

Dingo on a leash?

 

Sigh. Pizza with the boys. Then the anvil of suffering hit me. I'm just dragging around an anvil of suffering these days. Simple pleasures are not to be overlooked in the battlefield of life.

 

I feel awkward wearing a spandex bodysuit I hope you don't feel awkward looking at it.

 

E for Elephant. What wonderful creatures.

NONE OF THESE GENTLE GIANTS SHOULD BE KILLED FOR SPORT OR IVORY OR ANY REASON FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!!!!!! NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No elephant belongs in a circus. That's just cruel. Just leave the elephants ALONE!!!!

 

Ohhhh elephants you soothe my soul pain.

 

This is strictly scholarly don't interpret the post incorrectly or religiously:

Let's talk about interventions for a moment friends. If you have friends that use porn (regardless of frequency) and don't know you use NoFap, give them an intervention.



Not this kind of Intervention,



More like this, show some kindness, at least give them a chance to change before you kill the relationship:

 

Momma told me to respect other humans. She got real upset when I cut a spike off a punk's head in high school this one time. He had his hair glued up in two giant spikes like the motherfuckin' devil himself and I cut one straight in half after class, creeped up on the punk right in the hallway and snipped that devil horn off. Word got around to an Administrator that it was by my hand and Momma was not happy that I violated another human's dignity.

NSFW (alcohol bottles nearly empty on a table and naughty words after 3 minutes):

Spoiler

The words bitch, dick, and porn dropped after 3 minutes but not triggering:

 

Final bump. Toodles.

 

Maybe crazy means different things to different people. Maybe sanity is as subjective as reality. Not true reality tho. Ok Time to stop talking while I'm ahead.

Thank goodness this system went offline here I think it was overclocked beyond its own capacity.



We are pretty much all just a work in progress aren't we? My impulses for seeking here stop now.

The formula is completed sooner than expected. Algorithmic process set in motion.
