Just posting here for a discussion, to stimulate some thinking on the subject of PMO addiction.
What has worked for you in the past in overcoming this, in getting a nofap streak going ?
Also what has not worked for you that you thought would be effective or sufficient? e.g just tracking a streak , accountability software ..
This isn’t just an intellectual discussion, I need to motivate myself to get a streak going …
Doing away with counters. Focus more on the process not the progress. Looking at numbers is a killer for me so I did away with all counting and making each day count.
Yes, something like that for me too. When I focus fighting my addiction, that means I give attention to my addiction. Just consider this: If you keep thinking “I shouldn’t watch p###” you keep the thought of p### constantly in your mind. I noticed just the word p### can induce, start urges in my mind if I’m not careful. So yes, start doing other things in your life and put your focus on that. For me it is very useful that I do a lifestyle change for my weight loss and I focus on cooking, workout etc. Lot of people start working out and focusing on health and it makes it easier not because of the bigger muscles, but because of a thing to focus on other than nofap.
I think the final victory is when you forget about it so much that you don’t even remember to care, because you are free. Free people don’t care about the cell or prison, they care about life. So stop focusing on our prison, start focusing on the life outside, which is available for you to reach, build. Good luck!
