@The_EnlightenedOne would you mind if I ask for some outside help, because I have never experienced this, is that okay with you?
Hmm okay
@abhi1357 @debellator @Rebooter81 @ncubeanelem @Nerbo @nofapstar123 @Covertxomic @CoffeeMan @MrSam105 @Forerunner I need some help with The_EnlightenedOne’s situation. If any of you can help please offer some advice.
@mrxdul @Mazerunner @Shining_Fate y’all can offer help as well. @The_EnlightenedOne
@The_EnlightenedOne It sounds like a wet dream, unless you’re describing unconscious masturbation while you’re asleep. Is that what it is?
Yes
Unconscious masturbation
Its not like the first time its happening
It has happened so many times
I don’t remember the last conscious relapse
Most of my relapses are during sleep while I am Unconscious
Because I am not fully aware while sleeping, my thought process doesn’t function to stop me from relapsing and resist the urges to save the nofap streak count
As a result I relapse first
Then come to consciousness
Then realize what just happened
It’s a rare problem, I only know of one friend from Rewire who has experienced the same thing. The advice that I gave him was not to call it a relapse.
I don’t know what the cause of unconscious masturbation is or how to stop it. Some suggestions would be sleeping with gloves on, or a belt, something that makes it more difficult for your body to access your private parts while you’re asleep. It’s a problem I can only imagine is uncomfortable, but it’s not an addiction, and it doesn’t count as a relapse. It won’t help you to make yourself feel bad about something that wasn’t in your power to stop.
One idea is that you could track those events separately from your conscious journey.
Search online like on NoFap.com and see if anyone has any solutions for stopping it.
Thank you for the suggestions
It mostly happens when I sleep during afternoon intervals
During night sleep, I am tired and I sleep like a wooden log without any body movements
So it doesn’t happen at night
During afternoon especially after lunch. When I take a short nap for 1 hour, It happens
I have mostly avoided sleeping during day time
But still sometimes due to exhaustion, I feel the need to sleep in the afternoon and then this happens
afternoon it’s because (from my experience) you get up but you’re not feeling like completely getting up so you just laze in bed, that time the thinking isn’t clear and we get more prone to relapsing. The solution is to avoid too long afternoon naps and also once you get up, force yourself to get up rather than stay in bed and trying to sleep longer. Sleep at night.
Okay Regarding waking up, I will try to set alarm for waking up within 1 hour sharp
That might work I think
Thank you
For the past 48 hours I am getting strong urges to peek and relapse with mind using various tricks like "One time peek won’t hurt, Relapse once amd this will be the last relapse forever, you will feel pleasure " etc
Not gonna fall for these tricks
Still I am fighting the urges
Will resist till the end
2025 will be my final year of exiting PMO addiction permanently
Already lost 2024
But 2025 is mine
Go for it brother! May God be with you through the times of trials and temptations. Be strong in the Lord.
Sorry I relapsed
Again during deep sleep I relapsed unconsciously
This time during night sleep
I just can’t
So much resistance and pain during waking state fighting all the urges
But during sleep, relapsing again and again without mind even putting up a single fight against the urges
How do I even deal with this
Sleep has become troublesome
Now its 3 AM here
I feel miserable not able to sleep
Same. I Relapsed too and I can’t sleep either. Bro, this addiction is fucked up.
Seriously, it’s the hardest shit I have ever fought
Sorry to here about your relapses brothers @The_EnlightenedOne and @Awaken_one. Be strong and be brave to not do this again.
I really appreciate you, you know.
You are like the elder I always wanted.
Thank you so much
You are very welcome brother. Anything you need don’t be afraid to let me know.
That’s really comforting to hear, I will. Hope you had a good day too!
Yes I had wonderful day today. Praying for you and The_EnlightenedOne for y’all to be strong.
@The_EnlightenedOne and @Awaken_one, I’m guessing the longer you go without relapsing consciously, the less likely you are to do it unconsciously. Hopefully the whole thing will get better over time.
