As the title said , why are you on this journey? What is the reason for choosing this NoFap lifestyle. What motivates you to keep going? I love to get your answers. I want to see what my companions thinks about nofap. Feel free to post in this thread.
About 2 years ago I noticed that I have this addiction and I can’t escape it. I wanted changes because I knew that it is harmful. I felt really bad after every relapse.
I started to read about ■■■■ and masturbation, joined this community then it became an ambition. Then relapsing became way painful then before.
After all, a lot of years went by with addiction and I thought that it is normal but then I got scared that it will destroy me. Now I want to kill this bad habit
good reason tbh , for me i just wanted to be my 20s to be clean. i’m just a teenager and wanted to taste a good life because i haven’t tasted since i got addicted. this motivates a lot
i’ve made the same post at nofap.com so that i find some more answers. you can read from here
Why am I on this journey?
I am this journey because I feel like my life is much better without fapping. I chose this journey most of all to be closer to God. God does not like filth to be in our lives. In James 1:21 (KJV) Therefore lay apart all filthiness and the superfluity of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
As you see this verse reminds us to put away filthiness and superfluity of wickedness.
What Motivates Me
Well okay this is what motivates me the most. Living a life that is fulfilling to my Saviour and my God. Romans 12:1 (KJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
As you see we must sacrifice what we have to fulfill God purpose in life. Our bodies are also a temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (KJV) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Good reason dude. You’ll many happiness all around this year. God is watching you and loves you.
I get it brother, that’s totally obvious.
With this addiction everything is so depressing. 20s is a hard part of life and this addiction makes it harder
Yes Brother, I know my Saviour lives. My Redeemer and Friend.
One of my biggest reasons right here. No matter what else I do in my life, however good, with PMO across my shoulders I can’t enjoy life. I don’t think that I’ve ever felt truly happy whilst in the grip of PMO.
Good way to analyse the issue. With pmo it feels burden to enjoy life. It feels like you got trapped in some sort of prison and you just can’t enjoy happiness.
The last time I was seriously on NoFap I saw it really helped me with my confidence and improved my attitude towards life. I gave up on it due to the stress of day to day life. I told myself I will get back to it when I reach a stage in my life where the day to day stress is low. I told myself that PMOing helps me manage stress as it masks the pain and that not fighting the urges would help me deal with the daily stress.
I was only lying to myself as I became lazier over the years after giving up on NoFap. Your mind is really good at coming up with excuses to avoid anything that involves effort. I started meditating a few weeks earlier with the intent of being more productive and disciplined, made a habit tracker, added NoFap as one of the habits to it and just decided to see how it goes this time. I guess meditation helped me declutter my thoughts and take a look at doing NoFap again instead of just going with the lies I was telling myself.
Hats off to you guys @Awaken_one @abhi1357. I wish both of you will recover one day from this shit and will enjoy life as it was before. nothing wrong in trying brother @Awaken_one we all are struggling to get a better life and you will get one just keep it going God bless.
Is there any specific reason for you to strive for consistency in Nofap? Any specific goal you want to achieve in life?
Btw good luck , you are going good
Thanx man , you’re going good too just keep going. Numbers will grow
Well, Nofap is the path to the Greatness! Also, We becoming more close to God. Third reason : FAP is not the same thing for all. For me, FAP iwas becoming dangerous. When You discover Assexual acts…
Nice reason bro , i also wanted to connect spirituality to God. And it’s possible by NoFap. Yeah , Fap can be dangerous for you I hope everything is fine now.
To focus on life, this thing wastes time, sleep, friendships, relationships etc. And if I can overcome this addiction, I think that I will be a better person. That’s why I am here, to make my life better.
Ovs it sucks your life everyday. That’s a great realisation to carry this NoFap lifestyle.
