I almost relapsed today. I peeked. I fought with dopamine maximum level cravings for so long. I thought I could watch normal movies and get away with it. That’s not possible for me.
I have to sacrifice my dopamine from screen entertainment. I have to practice natural high dopamine activities as a replacement to PMO and screen addiction. This is the only way.
I know people consider peek as a relapse. But I won’t reset my counter. I’ll resume my progress right away. I don’t want a counter set to zero. It is demotivating and has other drawbacks.
Anyways, it’s time to change or get thrown back into the pit again.
You are always in control. Even when u feel you are driven by your hormones, you have the control. Just breath deeply and realize your voluntary control.
Bro one can’t just go on ignoring these things.
I agree with the point of focussing on good habits but at the same time you need to acknowledge the fact that ■■■■ exists, today’s society is hypersexual and everything, it’s just that we don’t have to care about it. Keep in mind watching ■■■■ and or masturbation is not an option and that’s it, life is good without it.
And I seriously think giving up movies and shows completely is not a necessity for no fap, just don’t watch sexual stuff and if something turns up accidentally turn your eyes away and rejoice in the fact that you are still sane and serene unlike many others. @NeverGiveup420
I had also been ignoring this over past few weeks, the day I made this belief clear in my mind, I started feeling extremely good about myself and have been going good
@NeverGiveup420 Brother can you give advice to me that how do I develop communication skill and get social, I always feel shy to talk to someone and anxiety to get social.
@Amamn
Communication skills essentially comes to one basic thing… Your listening skills. When other person is talking, give them attention, don’t use mobile phone.
When speaking, speak concisely using gestures and body language. Just be calm and friendly.
Talking is a need. U need to tell what u need to shopkeeper. Similarly when u have a question or want to tell someone something, just tell them. Don’t hesitate. Shyness is not a bad thing. Just converse and it will be normal.
For group conversation. Make friends and just listen and be present in the group. Be comfortable. Don’t rush to lead the conversation.
Then ask a question to bring group attention to you when u r being answered.
Then speak and give your opinion. There you have it!.
Being shy is not bad. In fact, the more wise a person gets, the less they speak and the more they listen. So just chill.
Relapse is not worth the sexual satisfaction. It’s 5 min of pleasure vs goals, motivation, discipline and hardwork destroyed. All that I am left with is lack of willpower to fulfill my responsibilities. I need to exercise and study. I need to lose weight. But instead I gained 4 kgs in last 10 to 15 days.
I’m a mess right now.
I need to believe that I can take on the hormones and horniness. That I can survive urges. I need to be powerful enough to be able to overpower my life long bad habits, long enough to make new good habits.
My recovery from PMO addiction was boring and painful. I ran away from triggers. Once even after 100 days of being deprived of even the basic entertainment, I turned into a zombie and started watching movies and animes. Since I was not trained to handle these triggers and always ran away, I could not resist and always relapsed.
No matter how much I starve myself of entertainment, after 1 or 2 years, I will go watch a movie and will be faced with triggers. I will relapse due to lack of training.
So, I’ve decided to not run away. I will fight head on. I will watch movies and animes. Obviously I will avoid nude and semi nude scenes and guard my eyes, but I will not run away from opposite gender.
Also, my PMO recovery will be not boring. I will not turn into a dopamine zombie.
Feeling super motivated and happy.
I started studying.
Yesterday I did 30+35+25 push-ups. My chest hurts today.
I put a stop to binge eating.
I meditated on the reality of PMO urges.
Tomorrow I will study more seriously. And will decrease procrastination.
Bro I think , you should focus on doing your studies daily and should not focus on nofap too much… It’s like a lifestyle … But , just don’t watch p** when you relapse… P** absolutely ruins your day … Now days I’m just focusing on studying and nothing else … But today after 12 days I relapsed using p^* and my whole day got wasted ….
You should not do like I will watch animes and avoids triggers… Why you are watching it?? Is it doing something good to you or educational ?? HELL NO . Just focus on your task and kill this distraction from root…
Good advice. I’ll focus on studies.
And yes, I won’t watch porn, it absolutely destroys the day.
I’m only watching animes during study breaks. And those are clean animes with not even semi nudity. Right now can’t study without entertainment breaks… They motivate me to study. I plan to reduce these breaks and kill distraction from root. But life should also be enjoyed.
