I think addictions are mostly symptoms of bigger underlying causes.

Think about it, if you suddenly were living the life of your dreams,
would you still constantly be tempted to waste your life like this?

Our main mission should be self-actualize,
to become the best version of ourselves.

Because, as the sayings go:

"You can't heal in the environment that hurt you."

“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them."

The real question isn't just what you want to quit,
but what you want to live for.

The timing is crazy, I thought I was going to give in today but never the less as driving home from work this sign has persuaded me to actually keep going! Don’t give up brothers and let’s help eachother out for a good cause.

same as title

Struggling alot and finding it hard to recover. Couldn't help it and peeked at someone. I stopped and realized my mistake but can't seem to move on from it and worry I'll end up doing it again. Help

Guysss! I had a wet dream and i spilled it unintentionally while I was asleep. My streak lasted for 49 days. I am so proud of myself. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to prevent nightfalls?!!
Thank you in advance:)

Almost fucked up yesterday. 50 days in as of today. Road to 90, then 180, no way I’m stopping here.

Usually mornings are the worst for me but it's been pretty good so far. The urges are still there but not that strong. It's going to be a good day

Do normal porn viewing which is not compulsive also desensitize our reward system ?

I (F22) relapsed pretty badly over a week ago, it took me this long to recover and get back on NoFap. How's everyone doing? It's 8pm over here, down to chat for a bit :)

Sorry if I didn't reply anyone, I got overwhelmed again :/

I don’t know anymore. It’s been a struggle every day for so long. I don’t know if I can keep it up anymore. The idea of giving is seems so sweet🥲

Was overall productive today, and now the urges are hitting me out of nowhere..

If anyone can help please DM, any chat or help is appreciated…

Woke up a little sluggish but I feel alright. No headaches

👍

Please, help me.

I don't know what to do. I really thought the urges would start to go away after this long. No porn, no masturbation for a week straight. I noticed I'm gravitating towards suggestive content more and more lately, as if I'm going to slip up and restart.

I feel empty, like something is physically missing from my body. I feel constant urges all the time. I have dreams where I relapse, porn is still constantly on my mind. Every second of every day is a fight, and it's miserable. Porn has taken all my motivation from me, but I still have no energy for anything even without it. Some days I'm just in a bad mood the whole day because all I want to do is relapse, but I know I can't for my own sake.

I know it's ridiculous to think my life and mind will be back together after only a week of sobriety after an 8 year addiction, but I don't feel the hope or see the light. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up, and I don't trust myself to pick myself up if I relapse. I don't see even the slightest improvement and honestly, I just want to quit. I need help, please.

Double digits, yay. Happy with myself because I've managed to avoid a few recent moments of mild temptation. Long long way to go but I believe. Next landmark: 2 weeks. Lessgo!!

I hate this shiiit, always the peeking that’s leads to fool me

Any help to deal with these urges is appreciated. Just struggling a lot the past few days.

If yes then please tell me if this book is helpful?

I’m on a trip right now and I’ve been too distracted to even think about it, even after only 7 days I feel more confident and full of energy and I don’t want to lose this feeling

Does anyone here have any experience with TRE, Trauma Release Exercises? Just started them and it’s too early to tell the after effects from them. Any one with experience?

Hello,

I am a 35 yr old single male and I am currently on day 130 on NoFap/Semen retention, so far what i have experience on this journey... I would say is that i feel more energized during the days and feel more focused and i do not have sexual thoughts at all any more. Also, I exercise 3/4 times a week that helps control the sexual urges. As side from that not sure what other people talk about when they say others be experiencing female attraction during their nofap journey because i have not experienced any female attraction at all so far. Also, a negative thing I would say is that I been feeling moody like one day i get sad or i feel very aggressive and the next day i feel confident or happy. This is my experience so far. Finally, I always worry that in the future if i ever meet a girl I will not be able to get an erection since nofap/semen retention basically involves redirecting energy or suppressing urges. I will still continue my journey but i would like your opinions on this so far.
