So I hit the one year mark on February 6 and I wanted to see if anyone has questions that I could help with (ATM 400+ day streak)
How u Handle urself in extreme urges.
Well I’ve been super stressed lately about this one girl I went out with and I tried looking at memes to clear my mind but some of the memes were a bit on the triggering side so I stopped that and I tried to focus on learning Javascript and reading the Bible/praying. Let me tell you the urges were the strongest I’ve felt in a while but I don’t want to make myself anymore stressed so that keeps me in line also
Can you levitate or have you learnt telekinesis?
On the serious note, how long have you you been trying until you got to this point? Honestly, I wish I would know about NoFap in my teens.
Any very benefits you want to share
No telekinesis, but I am joining the X-men
@ReloadingSacks @weir This is my first streak on the app, but I used to do nofap alone. The way I used to do it is by just trying to fight the urges but they wear on you and then you relapse. I relapsed A LOT when I did it solo but I found waits to resist (I can expound upon them if you’d like me to)
The biggest benefit is the fact that I don’t think about this 24 hours a day. I can do what I want
How do you deal with emotional triggers ( like when you get stressed or depressed about something in your life ) and you crave for a feel good factor? Maybe once in a while when you feel low and urges come in waves.
Yeah my urges mostly come from being quite stressed. I try to meditate, pray, and read my Bible to clear my mind.I also try to do productive stuff so I don’t feel like my life is going nowhere @BoomerangNebula
Praiseworthy indeed… truly! Neko, please tell me what all you did with the extra time and energy?
I used to practice Japanese then I practiced Spanish but now I’m learning Javascript and I also stream on twitch sometimes and I play video games (I have a seasonal job so I’m not working at the moment) @hellojaani
Omedetou gozaimasu, Neko-kun
Thank you so much!
How have your relationships (with friends/family/SO’s/anyone) changed as a result of one year (or more) of NF? (If they have, that is.)
Congrats my friend. That is awsome. You are a great example to us all.
I went on my first date and I’d say my relationships with people in general have got a lot better
Thank you! I’m honored to be seen in that way!
