@@truelike Thanks brother! 💪

Just relapsed

Man, that's tough

Oh you can do it! I believe in you.

bro do you feel happier or not??

@@marichkuaseli4431 you do feel happier its the main benefit

Im sorry 😕

I guess i have too many free times i should get a job 🤣🤣

Actually I can relate so much! I’m having huge amount of energy and it feels crazy. Maybe it’s Autumn or planets aligned but I’m just feeling like I have to run marathons every day to exhaust myself and yes, free time is a dangerous time. Too much of it can lure you into the dragon pit so stay aware and stay strong man!

This.

Story of my life right now Today Is My 2 Weeks In .... I’m good all day but when night time comes and I’m chilling at the crib playing games or watching tv them urges kick in and from then till the time i wake up the next day I’m fighting 🎃

i have social anxiety and no job and im on week 2 i wish i could find my passion but i just can't i don't think i will have the same benfits because i pretty much have no real life

@Kedar Chande Hey man! Yeah, I posted my update a week ago or so as I relapsed after a two-week streak and I’m on anew streak now which is a bit over a week. I’ve lots things to say so it might be a long read. You have to realize one thing: when you’re u now and then, like keeping your energy for couple of days, them relapse, then couple of days then relapse again etc - it’s much easier to then start a great long term streak just because your reward system is kinda off. You get your pleasure often and so it’s not that demanding. But when you are a month off all the bad stuff and doing great - THEN, after just one relapse, you awaken the dragon again, so to speak cos now you feel the ‘hunger’ again. And next few days after your relapse gonna be hard cos you tasted the sweet dopamine after such absence and want more. This you should keep in mind, and to be mentally prepared to struggle first days. For me, personally, is always easier to start at the beginning or end of the month - not sure why, I guess that’s my thing and it’s sounds perfect, and when relapse happens during the mid month - I struggle. My kind trying to convince me to binge till it’s new month to start over, but this is the biggest mistake. Honestly, no matter how weak, imperfect, ugly or been unmotivated you feel about your Day 1 - we all want it to be perfect or good - remember this - every day is the best day to start or continue your journey. Period. So what I did is just ignored everything - I felt bad cos it was mid month and I felt great before - but I kept my focus away during the first days. Don’t negotiate with your mind, don’t listen to it, don’t go for your feelings or emotions - just go ugly and focus on anything: work, working our, cleaning your room/home, walks outside, reading, well, video games even, if they aren’t provocative for you, or a good movie (again, don’t watch anything trigger-ish for you. Any half naked girls in some stupid movie prolly won’t do you good. Watch something mindful, like Whiplash, Soul, some Marvel movies, The Matrix or my fav tv series - Mr Robot. Heavy stuff that will make you think.). I was in a strange mood yesterday and at th end of the day I called up my friend and we played some Diablo II together. May not be the best productive time, but hey, we had fun, and time passed and after we were done I was tired and went to sleep. Clean and nice. Another tip for first day or two - do something that will make you feel better, stack up your wins. No matter how small. I started my streak on September 1, it was day 1 and I literally woke up to a wet dream. Great start right? I took cold shower, mediated, read, did push ups and cleaned up my balcony. My friend called and asked me to go picked up some Legos (I collect them sometimes) and my first thought was to refuse cos I feel quite meh on Day 1, after relapse, you know, but I hesitated and then decided to go anyway. It was hard to face society and streets full of people during the evening but I did it and by the end of the day I didn’t even feel like it was day 1. I felt like I was just much further already. I was able to switch my mental focus and eventually it gave in. Do lil things, and especially uncomfortable ones, daily. Cold showers - even if it just 10 seconds. Still, your mind will think you’re worthy of your word and you will have some nice bonus to continue. Read for couple a minutes, meditate a bit. Do something. It’s important because it restes healthy dopamine levels. Watch Dr Andrew Huberman and Tom Bilyeu interview that came out yesterday - they talk about it. Another important point - know your triggers. For me, it’s loneliness, my ex girlfriend I still love and depression. It’s not the P I want to watch - it’s the side effect of felling so crappy that my mind starts to crawl back to easy and cheap dopamine. You prolly have something deeper that triggers you. Realize that, find it and use the knowledge. When I feel especially tempted I just Pauze and think about being pure hearted and all the good things you can enjoy while on retention - I already said that sometime ago but I started enjoying watching the sky and seeing beauty in it and when I would feel like give up and I would try to find something naturally beautiful. It won’t always work but I would think how literal couple of seconds questionable pleasure to random strangers who didn’t even like what they do would just make me feel SO much worst. I also learn to be vulnerable and open so I would imagine how hard it would be to share this with someone, with potential girlfriend that I still watch it. I mean it’s disgusting. Thoughts like that can win you time. But, if you relapsed, don’t, DONT go into self hate mode or extreme shame. It happened, so you just take pride in admitting it and you just own it. Yes you did it, it was a mistake but also an experience that will get you closer to better life. Sometimes what ruins a possibility to start a new streak immediately is being harsh with yourself. You hate yourself, feel sorry for yourself and then think that you may as well just ‘enjoy’ this ish for some more days or weeks. Boom. So, if relapsed, own it. The thing that you think about this not being right, for deciding to change, for bettering yourself and keeping your energy makes you already ahead of the game, and ahed of like 96-98% of people cos many don’t even think about it. Mistakes are beautiful, learn to love losing, embrace it, savor it, learn from it. I know it sounds counterintuitive, it without losing winning will never taste like wining. We need bad days, tragic days to enjoy the good and fantastic ones. So own your relapse and move on like a lion. And, it may sound very cheesy - but you also need to know your glorious purpose. Discover it, realize it, create it - but you have to have your string WHY to do any hard thing. It doesn’t matter what it is - it might be the silliest thing in the Universe for all, but if it will get you out of bed every morning just feeling grateful that you are alive and got another day - this is it. This is your glorious purpose! I know you can do it, man. If you’re here, seeking answers, you’re doing the right thing. It ain’t easy, and remember, that everything I said may not always work. Nit hung is guaranteed, but anything is possible. Literally. Everything is mental and your attitude is on you. Even urges are just signals in your brain. Nothing more. You got this. Stay strong and much love.

@Kedar Chande And yeah, I got carried away and wrote a lil book.

That's bad. Get your sheet together, don't empower degeneracy. God believes in you brother.

Stay strong brother from another mother! The harder the start is the easier IT will become in Time to Forge good habbits and willpower.

Indeed, add a bit of stress to it and the relapse risk is overwhelmingly high during the first 2 weeks.

It will pass bro I've been there, infact I thought I shouldn't be on noflap like it is something unnatural. Stay strong you will witness the benefits🤗

You got this!

Sounds like the flatline, or if not, just low dopamine. Try to get back to your normal amount of exercise, even if it sucks.

@@ScandinavianBob Thanks Bob, will do, your videos been a great help since I started the recovery journey!!

Try to make long streaks like 60 or 90 days but the rule is not to give up on your own!

hastala vista, baby!

If you stop doing destructive things (like fapping your brains out to porn), of course that's going to be good for you. No matter the motivation behind it. Stop listening to these stupid KZfaqrs.

Did you watch the video? Sensitized pathways...

I remember that feeling. It will pass, stay strong and take it one day at a time. You can do this!

Alothou surfing away this thoughts is good possibility, i suggest you to try out changing them instead. When i let my fantasies root in my imagination, IT becomes a lot harder to stop a short Path to relapse. I do start thinking about future plans, or simply reminding myself about something sad from past that instantly breaks the mood. Stay strong!

@@truelike thanks for the reply bro. I am to the point where I have tried all the good, common stuff(cold shower, meditation and all that). Now I think it completely comes down to trial and error, to see what works for me. On the bright side I am quite happy that looking back, I've gotten less and less obsessed with nofap and self development stuff and I am focusing more on my work, mindfulness and doIng things that make me happy.

How is it going?

@@ScandinavianBob still goin strong it’s just when it reaches day 7, the urges get strong
