As a girl, I literally didn't know some guys had it this difficult. Being able to be in the mental/physical state to do it constantly, everyday + being easily triggered must be infuriating; especially if you can't control it. I can't believe a 15 year old is going through this kind of stress uggh
Alotta guys won’t tell you this but a whole lot of us been dealing with this shit from a early age. And the shit sucks. How it just starts off as some kid seeing porn for the first time, or trying out what his friend just told him about at school. And ends up stripping you of your energy, masculine frame, mental hygiene and just life force in general. You literally feel yourself lose touch with life, and care less and less about the world around you. Gradually losing your will to move on in life. And the worst part is like 70% of people caught in this loop aren’t even aware, and are stuck in this deep dark hole with themselves with no idea why

@Fighting Dreamers if youre 14 then that means youre only in the 8th/9th grade so do your absolute best to get your grades up no matter what. Youre only 14 and u can make it up in the future but it would help to try your absolute best to do good in school. And do everything at the house so your moms wont have too after a long day of working or whatever. Its tough life has to be this way but it is. Ive been homeless many times and it aint sweet. I was homeless in elementary, middle, and high school. I didnt let it stop me i worked hard to get my grades up and i graduated. The worst thing u could do in situations like these is feel sorry for yourself. Pick yourself up and take care of your family and make the best out of a shitty situation. Keep on praying and good things will come

Great vid and great advice. I appreciate what you're doing bro. I'm starting to see more and more men giving advice to their subs and I think this is what guys need. We didn't have anyone to give us this advice when we were young, so when we help out the younger guys it always makes me happy. I'm drunk rn but everything I'm saying is real lol. Appreciate ya bro!
I dont know how you're doing now but drinking is another vice it has to go for the greater good. Pleasure is the greatest curse that god has given us the majority of the time it moves us further away from real happiness. And it manifests as addiction where it then causes more suffering later on. Once one of thses pleasureable activities turns into a routine thing used to run from issues it has to be addressed. And pleasure is also a curse because in the moments where our resolve matters the most, it makes us forget about all of that stuff. Theres nothing easy about any of this stuff overcoming these feelings and conquering your mind is something a small minority of people have done. Watching a nofap video or motivational video will inspire you, but thats a small push. There is two ways you can move, up or down. You can escape life or dive head first into your problems. The worst part is that escaping life feels good and setting yourself straight sucks a lot, and will make you want to quit. So whenever you do something that can suck like working out intensely or abstaining from doing something decadent, when you feel like quitting, remember that that sucky feeling means what you're doing is moving you closer to success and happiness and solving your issues
I'm 31 and was introduced to p at around 12. Till I found Alex (which was recently) I thought it was a natural thing to watch it because everyone else was. I have no kids, no family, and still trying to put my life together because things didn't turn out the way I planned. I'm not saying that this is all because of p but now that I think back it definitely made an impact on the way I looked at others. Another great video keep it up, you are not only inspiring younger generations here.
I stopped about a month ago... I'm 16 and I'm so glad I managed to stop because I just felt unhappy and guilty doing it... it was a never ending cycle. I've been focusing on my school work and social skills now... I haven't had a single urge to do it since and I'm planning on keeping it that way. Goodluck for everyone trying to overcome it.

I actually started 2 days ago because I relapsed but I knew I would. The difference this time is that I know what to do to stop it from happening and I'm extremely determined. Wish me luck =)
day 25! this is my longest streak i’ve ever had and i started like 3 years ago. i am 15 and i feel so much better and way way more confident and mature then i used to! all i did to get rid of urges is unfollow a lot of instagram models, work out more, and do other things to get my mind off of everything. i really think i might hit this off so please wish me luck!
Good look. Let me bless you before you go In the name of the Father the son and the Holy Spirit may this be the time he gets free from this addiction. God bless bro
Can we agree that There are Big UA-camrs that upload Trash content, while people like Lucid over here make Great content that inspires people to become better, and yet my man is sitting at 688K Subs, Homie Deserves better bro. . .
I was exposed to P at the age of 9 and i was watching it for week then quits. Sometimes i watch P once a week or two but somehow i got back into it at the age of 15 and now i having some hard time quitting; It starting affect my studies. This really helped me. 1000 thanks for you man
I'll never see a guy as wholesome and good advising as him. Much respects bro may God bless you for taking this topic to another level. You are one of the millions who have the courage to talk about this.
I discovered that bs when I was SIX years old, I'm glad that later on I realized that my life wasn't the same and looked for help, then little by little I changed and here I am, retaining and grinding to achieve my goals.
Bro, massive respect for this video addressing that boy's issue. We all needed this too. I hope that dude can recover from his addiction. If you're reading this man, you're not alone. We in this shit together 💪💪💪
I found out about it at around 8 years old and have been addicted ever scence, I’ve tried nofap and I’ve tried limiting myself and honestly you and your vedios have helped me so much. At 15 now I’m finally getting over it and finding new hobbies, I feel like im finally getting out of this trap and I can’t thank you enough. thank you lucid for everything your doing and keep saving kids lives
I am 14, started at around 12 and I think my addiction was because of the lack of feeling that i have a father Like this void thats inside me was because my father aint here. He lives in Kyrgyzstan cz he works there, and despite us being far from each other, we can still call right? Wrong, we barely talk, and honestly i barely feel anything towards him. Hes the equivalent of "the neighbour that u cross paths with everyday". Unlike with my mother, he barely showed any love, even when he calls me, it would last for like 2 min and basically "hello, how r u, gd bye" kind of calls. I probably cant fix this, and i dont blame him cz his father also wasnt around, and i kinda dont blame him for not being "the father i asked for" but im grateful for still being able to get in touch with him. How do i fix this, i have absolutely no clue, and that's why, Lucid, if u read this i really appreciate that u help your subscribers with their problems and id be very thankful if u could respond to this Thank you
WILLPOWER, and do things that increase willpower. Step by step. That shit isn't natural, so you will be able to break free by consistent effort 100%. Also remember: best way to win a knife fight is to run away(apply prevention mechanisms). There might not be a puzzle, depends how to look at it.
Lets say you find the piece of the puzzle or reason, like for example, you're all alone too much and you're always bored so you just watch p. You have to solve it yourself. In that scenario, you have to fill in the void of being alone and bored with something else. Play sports, go to the gym, meditate, keep your mind away from p. The way I see it is its usually a void that the p finds and fills in. You have to find a way to fill in the void not using p. It can be religion (prayer and meditation), hobbies, anything that can fill the void.
Main thing is time. The longer you’re committed, the better it’ll get, no matter how many relapses. That’s not an excuse to give up and relapse, just hoping that it’ll magically go way. You have to seriously be committed. You have to want to end this addiction more than anything else. Also, you have to learn to love yourself. When you self-loathe every time you relapse, you’ll just relapse more. You have to learn to be optimistic, and appreciate the little things. PMO has made you hate yourself, who you’ve become. However, now that you’ve made the decision to change, you don’t have to do that anymore. Clearly, if you’re dedicated to solving this problem, you do love yourself. You don’t want to see yourself go down this dark path. So never forget that you’re doing this for yourself, and that you love yourself. Here are the basic tips. Keep a busy schedule. Find when you normally relapse, and change that environment. Start meditating daily. Start cold showers. Start exercising. Eat well. Drink enough water. You don’t have to immediately start doing all of these because it can feel like a lot. However, you should try to add each one to your daily schedule, one by one, until it’s routine. The meditation is really important because it’ll help you re focus your mind when you get an urge. Realize that you can’t control your thoughts entirely. So in the moment of an urge, you’ll know how to keep it from spiraling out of control. Also, meditation helps in general to keep you off your phone. It helps you be in the moment, instead of worrying about the future, or regretting the past. Lastly like Lucid said, you have to be able to introspect, and find the main reason why you decide to relapse. For example, I relapse to escape difficult situations. Maybe for you, it’s a lack of intimacy, or loneliness. Maybe you do have some self destructive behavior that makes you want to do harmful things. Find that reason. Then, recognize when you feel that way, this way you’re prepared for an urge. Good luck on your nofap journey. Always remember that this is not a challenge, not a game, this is a lifestyle. You must stay on nofap for the entirety of your life. You may elapse a lot, but no matter what, don’t give up on the journey. Everyone makes mistakes. However, a winner learns from their mistakes, while a loser gives up. Never forget the pain that brought you to decide to quit this addiction. Use it as fuel to keep you from going back to your old ways. Good luck! You can do this! So many people who had it worse than you have! It’s all up to you!
Literally every video that Lucid makes speaks truth, this guy is so relatable and is also the best guy to ever exist. I think everyone needs a friend like this guy Lucid, you are the greatest!
I don't know why i got all emotional listening to this. My heart definitely resonated with this a lot. He was not only talking to that guy but all of us. A real inspiration he is.
I've just come across this video it was on my recommended and I'm really glad it did. I'm almost 1 week free and don't wanna go back. It literally drains your energy and has a huge impact on your mental health and memory and I was very suicidal and had no drive or energy to do anything. Good luck guys it's hard but I swear you can do it let's tackle this filthy addiction together
Thank you for saying its not your fault that you have this problem , i had it in 2020 but i have been stopping it since 22th of dec , i have been feeling much better and being with my family gives me more hope of stopping it forever
Bro let me tell you man, you don't get enough credit for what u are doing, you are an amazing person truely trying to help man and i support you 100% Don't stop these helpful videos my guy, one day you will get the credit you deserve i know so
it started when i was 13 lasted till i was 15, one of my darkest moments man, i stopped, it might be hard to stop when your going thru it, change your mindset, do better for yourself.
When the COVID started and people were locked down that’s when I discovered it I was alone all the time and always bored so I would do it just because I thought I had nothing else to do I knew the hole would get deeper and deeper to the point it would destroy my life I now have a counter and I will try my best to not do it my goal rn is a month I will come back to edit this in a month for my results
Lucid is prolly one of wisest people I've ever watched on UA-cam pertaining to P**n addiction. You inspired me to look deep within myself. much love ❤️
Imagine being 17 never typing in this website or watching a video from it and knowing about it for almost 5 years that’s because I don’t want to be addicted and it’s will power right there
Lucid I thank you very much I’m going through the same thing as the person in this video , thank you very much for making this video , you are truly a legend.
Hey man, I recommend taking a look at your diet, sleep, and exercise. I call them “The Big 3” because they are most important things for your health. Fixing those will help to fix EVERYTHING. Good luck
I’ve been addicted since I was in elementary im 17 at this time and a senior in high school and nothing I do helps nothing at all and it does hurt bad knowing I’ve been addicted for many years and not being able to go back to the old me that wouldn’t watch or do none of that stuff hurts it’s depressing and dark and it destroys you mentally it rottens your brain and it sucks hopefully one day I can go without relapsing and failing over and over and over and over again
Also another possibly point to add: in the future when ur an older man and you still have this issue, you could possibly go to Jail if u ever do it too much to the wrong people, just like y’all see on the news. Guy arrested for sexual harassment on a teen. Thats just an example, it could be anything, but just saying it is a huge possibility and you may think, well, I’d never do such a thing! And I said I would never do something and yet I did it. Sometimes humans cannot control themselves in some ways. Mb for horrible explanation, hope the point comes across. Small problems can turn huge man.
Started when I was 13. 17 now almost 18, On day 7 though the urges are still there I truly wanna prove that I'm the only one in control of myself. Good luck to everyone
I discovered it at 8 years old way back in 2009 been HEAVILY addicted since and been trying to quit for almost 5 years now and all i gotta say if its taking this long this shit is SERIOUS and you definitely should seek professional help 👇 thanks for being an amazing human lucid people are scared to talk about this Also tell a loved one ☝️ really makes the difference with support ill be seeing help as soon as my broken foot heals up good luck to all of you 🤙❤️
Bro u are one of the yt legend that never have to die.... Remember me when u will become famous ✌🏻u talk to us like a really good friend, u are so inspirational. U definitely deserve more subs. I'm out peace 🙃
my advice is telll your parents your addicted they’ll probs take your phone away and put restrictions on computer so you’ll most likely not be able to relapse i never did it but just my advice or destroy your phone
Not really a good idea since telling your parents my cause extreme amount of stress with the wrong parent and might even cause you even worse mental health problems with the wrong response
Destroying your phone is stupid. It's basically a necessity in today's age. Trust me, it's much more than a privacy invading device that's also bad for your mental health if used correctly...
This is why I have a special feeling when I watch Lucid’s videos he is really open about anything and is always here for his fans he really showed us what responsibility is and taught us to take that responsibility when needed
hope that kid gets better, and he really should stop because its not only hurting hm mentally also physically i was able to bypass that stage and stop just by thinking how much harm i will cause to myself if i did that
Yea not going to lie, I had to look deeper within myself and figure out WHY I wanted to stop and WHAT I am going to gain from stopping. Been free from the addiction for over 6 months now.
I honestly feel like lucid is black balled from YT, he speaks the truth and too positive, no1 wants to hear that sadly , keep up the great work lucid we love you
If I had that problem now (I had it) I would download a website blocker and disable all the sites I knew! Then I would start up a game and try to only focus on that game. Not like a day but 1 hour or 2 just to calm down. Not a shooter game but some ’passive‘ game like Minecraft or Scrap Mechanic or something to build a house or a car or even a plane. It personally helped me a lot because I now think about what to do in that game and what I can improve about my gaming-skill more than what site to watch for the next hour!
i'm 16 live in New Zealand and addicted to this stuff and haven't told anyone about it and i struggle with the relapse's i'm trying meditation but the relapse's is slowing me down with the progress i have been doing but i all ways relapse i been watch you video's for a while now and it helps me a little sometime's i'm trying to quite and doing it by my self is hard i feel like a loser that's why i haven't told anyone
I’ve just watched a few videos in a row because you discuss such important topics and I strongly agree with your perspective. Thank you for spreading kindness to us:)
I think as you grow older, you will realize how bad it affects your health. I went through that when I was 16 years old and I admit that is very hard to quit. It occurs naturally because of puberty but after the age of 18 - 19 my body starts to stop, and every time I think about it I feel tired. There is nothing wrong with doing it but don't do it too often, I recommend 1-2 times a week is maximum.
i fell into this trap when i was around 11 im 15 now and still battling it has gotten better but im still trying to quit once i quit for around a year and a half and i fell back again i will keep trying to quit this horrendous action and things like these should be completely outlawed forever
Kid's probably scared to tell his parents, thinking if they just completely void him of it, take away his computer, ect. Addicts don't wanna lose their drug. You gotta take controll man, beating it ain't everything. Whenever you get the urge try to do other things. Talk to someone, listen to music and dance, play an instrument, go for a run, keep your mind enguaged. Good luck.
Addictions will get over. I’m going to explain how i got over my gaming addiction as an example. This story is very detailed and has a lot of errors in it so i’m sorry lol. I really really got addicted by gaming because i got in a scooter accident when i was 9. I broke my foot and thats how i figured out what roblox was. I got addicted so much that i ditched my friends. When i was 17, i was still addicted. Around september 2020, i was going to the bathroom after my friend left my PS4 party. I forgot to tell my dad something important so i decided to do it after i finished. After i told him the important thing he asked me to sit next to him. I was giving him the face like; nah im good sorry. He said; (in a nice way) come (since he saw i was shy because i was SOO MF INTROVERT LMAO) My neighbors were giving a party for one of her daughter’s bday outside. We live in a flat by the way. They were going to a club and they knew i was “the son of ” and they said: do you wanna come? Me: uh, where to? They: a club Me: sure i guess (because she was hot af lmao) So i went with them to the club and istg it was one of the nicest thing in my whole life.. they showed me how fun this is. This is what i’ve been missing out on my whole childhood. Fyi; i’m 18 now. When we went home, i was one of the happiest guys on the planet i was so grateful for their kindness. My uncle was throwing a party 20 days later and we were so close with the neighbors so they came aswell. Once again the neighbors asked me if i was coming aswell. I said yeah sure. And after that i knew deep in my heart that this is what i’ve been missing out on. What if my friend never left my PS party. Or i didn’t went to the bathroom. Or what if i didn’t think of that one important thing. What if i said no. Then i wouldn’t be where i am right now. They have no idea how grateful i am. They have no idea how much they mean to me. They will never understand how much they have helped me. I am getting really sad of this story because this has been tearing me up for like 8 years of my life. Addictions pass away eventually. You just need a moment of realisation. “Boom, Butterfly Effect” - Chris
Man I’m 15 and I know this guys struggle. I also started at 13, one day I was stressed during Covid and never looked back. Worst thing I’ve ever done. It’s basically ruined my life, I can’t look at people in their eyes, and I can’t even talk to girls without thinking about sex. I’ve tried to stop for a while now but I just keep relapsing. Here we go I guess…Day one, I’ll update.
I am 14, when I was younger (like 9-11 years old) I found about it from UA-camrs but I didn't watch it until I was 12-13 years old when all my classmates were watching it, and I thought: "Why not giving a try? If every boy in my class is watching it, why shouldn't I, it should be pretty cool." since that day I couldn't stop watching it, I actually stopped watching it like 5 months ago. I still watch like Instagram thots and girls on NSFW subreddits and I still fap, I can't take it anymore. Worst decision in my life.
I am 20, female and beat a p*rn addiction last year. I started when I was 7 years old playing P flash games and at my worst I was extreme f*tish stuff that I didn't even like to feel something. I would objectify myself because the P made me think that's all I was good for Edit: is there any other women that had/ have P addiction - I feel alone in that sometimes
Yh this addiction is pretty hard to quit but only with you own determination and perseverance you can defeat this monster 👹. Because I’ll admit it I am two months without needing this sort of “pleasure” and I feel better than I was feeling before.this thing actually drains all your energy, makes you look at females as a sexual object and turns you into a real pervert. Thank you Lucid for bringing this topic up because not many youtubers and social media influences talk about this, this global pandemic 🦠 is bigger than the coronavirus ,has been there longer and is killing the brains of many innocent children. For anyone going experiencing this, you don’t have to go through this alone and just talk to people about your feelings it will make you feel 100% better!! I promise 😁
My biggest advice for someone so deep in that rut is to stay busy. I have been where that kid has been (possibly even worse). Discovered it at 12-13 and for years hadn't gone a single day without it. But now I keep my mind busy and stable. I do exercise and engage in productive stuff such as school/work and guitar. I think going for walks helps too, and trying to seperate women from the shows and performances P displays. Once you can healthily define what's going on is an addiction and it's unnatural, you can take active steps to reduce your dependence to it.
Lucid this is completely true. I used to be like this (not an extreme level like 4-6 but more like once a day) and you are completely right. Honestly it really is the only way to solve this problem.
Lucid got me into lucid dreaming and I've been doing it for 2 weeks and I still haven't got one yet but, I'm still trying and I keep watching his old lucid dream tutorial videos.

I'm drunk rn but everything I'm saying is real lol. Appreciate ya bro!
I dont know how you're doing now but drinking is another vice it has to go for the greater good. Pleasure is the greatest curse that god has given us the majority of the time it moves us further away from real happiness. And it manifests as addiction where it then causes more suffering later on. Once one of thses pleasureable activities turns into a routine thing used to run from issues it has to be addressed. And pleasure is also a curse because in the moments where our resolve matters the most, it makes us forget about all of that stuff. Theres nothing easy about any of this stuff overcoming these feelings and conquering your mind is something a small minority of people have done. Watching a nofap video or motivational video will inspire you, but thats a small push. There is two ways you can move, up or down. You can escape life or dive head first into your problems. The worst part is that escaping life feels good and setting yourself straight sucks a lot, and will make you want to quit. So whenever you do something that can suck like working out intensely or abstaining from doing something decadent, when you feel like quitting, remember that that sucky feeling means what you're doing is moving you closer to success and happiness and solving your issues
I got addicted to this about last year so I prayed a lot (I’m Christian and 13) and I got rid of it thankfully
I’m happy for u bro
Thats great man. I'm not Christian but I love the thought of people helping themself with religion/ something they love. Stay strong.
Who cares?

Lucid is such a huge inspiration and i really look up to him!
addiction is hard and especially when we are young. to the people that watch lucid and are trying to better their lives, I hope we all make it.
I'm 31 and was introduced to p at around 12. Till I found Alex (which was recently) I thought it was a natural thing to watch it because everyone else was. I have no kids, no family, and still trying to put my life together because things didn't turn out the way I planned. I'm not saying that this is all because of p but now that I think back it definitely made an impact on the way I looked at others. Another great video keep it up, you are not only inspiring younger generations here.
prayin for you bro 🙏
I stopped about a month ago... I'm 16 and I'm so glad I managed to stop because I just felt unhappy and guilty doing it... it was a never ending cycle.
I've been focusing on my school work and social skills now... I haven't had a single urge to do it since and I'm planning on keeping it that way.
Goodluck for everyone trying to overcome it.
Can you pls tell your style of ending it?

Lucid, man.. actually educating. How much respect. Man is only 19 too
He's 19! He looks like he's in his early 20s.
@@Slapnutss not much of a difference there
I actually started 2 days ago because I relapsed but I knew I would. The difference this time is that I know what to do to stop it from happening and I'm extremely determined. Wish me luck =)
Same my guy. I wish you luck.
Instead of thinking you’re going to relapse, think about the fact that you’re not going to relapse because you’re strong 💪
day 25! this is my longest streak i’ve ever had and i started like 3 years ago. i am 15 and i feel so much better and way way more confident and mature then i used to! all i did to get rid of urges is unfollow a lot of instagram models, work out more, and do other things to get my mind off of everything. i really think i might hit this off so please wish me luck!
Good look. Let me bless you before you go In the name of the Father the son and the Holy Spirit may this be the time he gets free from this addiction. God bless bro

Can we agree that There are Big UA-camrs that upload Trash content, while people like Lucid over here make Great content that inspires people to become better, and yet my man is sitting at 688K Subs, Homie Deserves better bro. . .
I was exposed to P at the age of 9 and i was watching it for week then quits. Sometimes i watch P once a week or two but somehow i got back into it at the age of 15 and now i having some hard time quitting; It starting affect my studies.
This really helped me. 1000 thanks for you man
I'll never see a guy as wholesome and good advising as him. Much respects bro may God bless you for taking this topic to another level. You are one of the millions who have the courage to talk about this.
There’s barely any good youtubers that is able to speak about this topic so deeply to help an individual, you’re truly inspiring.
I discovered that bs when I was SIX years old, I'm glad that later on I realized that my life wasn't the same and looked for help, then little by little I changed and here I am, retaining and grinding to achieve my goals.
lucid would cry since he had flashbacks of his own history
Bro, massive respect for this video addressing that boy's issue. We all needed this too. I hope that dude can recover from his addiction. If you're reading this man, you're not alone. We in this shit together 💪💪💪
I found out about it at around 8 years old and have been addicted ever scence, I’ve tried nofap and I’ve tried limiting myself and honestly you and your vedios have helped me so much. At 15 now I’m finally getting over it and finding new hobbies, I feel like im finally getting out of this trap and I can’t thank you enough. thank you lucid for everything your doing and keep saving kids lives
This really spoke to me. I do a few times a week which really isn’t that bad but I think I can learn from this. Thank you Lucid
Damn...
Why does the FBI have LESS subscribers than me? 😂
I am 14, started at around 12 and I think my addiction was because of the lack of feeling that i have a father
Like this void thats inside me was because my father aint here. He lives in Kyrgyzstan cz he works there, and despite us being far from each other, we can still call right? Wrong, we barely talk, and honestly i barely feel anything towards him.
Hes the equivalent of "the neighbour that u cross paths with everyday".
Unlike with my mother, he barely showed any love, even when he calls me, it would last for like 2 min and basically "hello, how r u, gd bye" kind of calls.
I probably cant fix this, and i dont blame him cz his father also wasnt around, and i kinda dont blame him for not being "the father i asked for" but im grateful for still being able to get in touch with him.
How do i fix this, i have absolutely no clue, and that's why, Lucid, if u read this i really appreciate that u help your subscribers with their problems and id be very thankful if u could respond to this
Thank you
Let's pretend we found that missing piece of puzzle, the thing is how to solve it?
put the piece into play and take action!!!
WILLPOWER, and do things that increase willpower. Step by step. That shit isn't natural, so you will be able to break free by consistent effort 100%. Also remember: best way to win a knife fight is to run away(apply prevention mechanisms). There might not be a puzzle, depends how to look at it.
Lets say you find the piece of the puzzle or reason, like for example, you're all alone too much and you're always bored so you just watch p. You have to solve it yourself. In that scenario, you have to fill in the void of being alone and bored with something else. Play sports, go to the gym, meditate, keep your mind away from p. The way I see it is its usually a void that the p finds and fills in. You have to find a way to fill in the void not using p. It can be religion (prayer and meditation), hobbies, anything that can fill the void.
Main thing is time. The longer you’re committed, the better it’ll get, no matter how many relapses. That’s not an excuse to give up and relapse, just hoping that it’ll magically go way. You have to seriously be committed. You have to want to end this addiction more than anything else.
Also, you have to learn to love yourself. When you self-loathe every time you relapse, you’ll just relapse more. You have to learn to be optimistic, and appreciate the little things. PMO has made you hate yourself, who you’ve become. However, now that you’ve made the decision to change, you don’t have to do that anymore. Clearly, if you’re dedicated to solving this problem, you do love yourself. You don’t want to see yourself go down this dark path. So never forget that you’re doing this for yourself, and that you love yourself.
Here are the basic tips. Keep a busy schedule. Find when you normally relapse, and change that environment. Start meditating daily. Start cold showers. Start exercising. Eat well. Drink enough water. You don’t have to immediately start doing all of these because it can feel like a lot. However, you should try to add each one to your daily schedule, one by one, until it’s routine.
The meditation is really important because it’ll help you re focus your mind when you get an urge. Realize that you can’t control your thoughts entirely. So in the moment of an urge, you’ll know how to keep it from spiraling out of control. Also, meditation helps in general to keep you off your phone. It helps you be in the moment, instead of worrying about the future, or regretting the past.
Lastly like Lucid said, you have to be able to introspect, and find the main reason why you decide to relapse. For example, I relapse to escape difficult situations. Maybe for you, it’s a lack of intimacy, or loneliness. Maybe you do have some self destructive behavior that makes you want to do harmful things. Find that reason. Then, recognize when you feel that way, this way you’re prepared for an urge.
Good luck on your nofap journey. Always remember that this is not a challenge, not a game, this is a lifestyle. You must stay on nofap for the entirety of your life. You may elapse a lot, but no matter what, don’t give up on the journey. Everyone makes mistakes. However, a winner learns from their mistakes, while a loser gives up. Never forget the pain that brought you to decide to quit this addiction. Use it as fuel to keep you from going back to your old ways. Good luck! You can do this! So many people who had it worse than you have! It’s all up to you!
How lucid sais"Destroy it" Try to make it into pieces and prepare the good one like a road or a bridge.
Literally every video that Lucid makes speaks truth, this guy is so relatable and is also the best guy to ever exist. I think everyone needs a friend like this guy
Lucid, you are the greatest!
Lucid the therapist 🥺
Ayooooo why is a female watching 😣
@@victorolmedo1240 how did u know it was a female?
@@victorolmedo1240 what's wrong with that?
I don't know why i got all emotional listening to this. My heart definitely resonated with this a lot. He was not only talking to that guy but all of us. A real inspiration he is.
You're such a huge inspiration for people in need. Thank you for being that person. UA-cam needs more of this instead of all the shit.
You're a hero, there's practically nobody talking about this so it's really good to see people like you finally speaking up about it
I've just come across this video it was on my recommended and I'm really glad it did. I'm almost 1 week free and don't wanna go back. It literally drains your energy and has a huge impact on your mental health and memory and I was very suicidal and had no drive or energy to do anything. Good luck guys it's hard but I swear you can do it let's tackle this filthy addiction together
i’m 14 and i’m turning 15 in may, i’ve been watching it since i was 9 and i’ve been addicted since... this helped a lot thank you!
Damn man. Lucid is like that big brother who gives life advice. Love it.
احلام العصر
Lucid us the most genuine guy on this app, seriously bro you are the best!
im just like this kid bro your not just helping out 1 person your helping out thousands thank you brotha
Thank you for saying its not your fault that you have this problem , i had it in 2020 but i have been stopping it since 22th of dec , i have been feeling much better and being with my family gives me more hope of stopping it forever
Bro let me tell you man, you don't get enough credit for what u are doing, you are an amazing person truely trying to help man and i support you 100%
Don't stop these helpful videos my guy, one day you will get the credit you deserve i know so
The cigarette comparison is mind boggling. I never thought of it that way.
Im not gonna cap. youve got knowledge man, your definitley someone i look up to.
it started when i was 13 lasted till i was 15, one of my darkest moments man, i stopped, it might be hard to stop when your going thru it, change your mindset, do better for yourself.
When the COVID started and people were locked down that’s when I discovered it I was alone all the time and always bored so I would do it just because I thought I had nothing else to do I knew the hole would get deeper and deeper to the point it would destroy my life I now have a counter and I will try my best to not do it my goal rn is a month I will come back to edit this in a month for my results
How does a guy so young have such a huge understanding of the world and everything mental?
Lucid is prolly one of wisest people I've ever watched on UA-cam pertaining to P**n addiction. You inspired me to look deep within myself. much love ❤️
Bless this man’s aura and overall being. Words like this should be seen more often. Bless.
I sensed good energy from him as soon as I started watching him 30 mins ago. I can tell he has something that most people don't.
i fkn love lucid bro, like look at him helping out so many people that are in trouble. full respect for him.
Imagine being 17 never typing in this website or watching a video from it and knowing about it for almost 5 years that’s because I don’t want to be addicted and it’s will power right there
Lucid I thank you very much I’m going through the same thing as the person in this video , thank you very much for making this video , you are truly a legend.
Hey man, I recommend taking a look at your diet, sleep, and exercise. I call them “The Big 3” because they are most important things for your health. Fixing those will help to fix EVERYTHING. Good luck
Guys I can say that lucid will not be forgotten by the teens of this generation for all the help he has given us god bless you man
mans so inspirational i can't stop watching ur vids
I’ve been addicted since I was in elementary im 17 at this time and a senior in high school and nothing I do helps nothing at all and it does hurt bad knowing I’ve been addicted for many years and not being able to go back to the old me that wouldn’t watch or do none of that stuff hurts it’s depressing and dark and it destroys you mentally it rottens your brain and it sucks hopefully one day I can go without relapsing and failing over and over and over and over again
Damn this came fast
Guys if you need to quit just delete any thing to do with porn and then just do it without it then just try and resist urges hope this helps
Also another possibly point to add: in the future when ur an older man and you still have this issue, you could possibly go to Jail if u ever do it too much to the wrong people, just like y’all see on the news. Guy arrested for sexual harassment on a teen. Thats just an example, it could be anything, but just saying it is a huge possibility and you may think, well, I’d never do such a thing! And I said I would never do something and yet I did it. Sometimes humans cannot control themselves in some ways. Mb for horrible explanation, hope the point comes across. Small problems can turn huge man.
Started when I was 13. 17 now almost 18, On day 7 though the urges are still there I truly wanna prove that I'm the only one in control of myself. Good luck to everyone
Bro same started at 10 and now im 17 it sucks
I’m 19 I’m more addicted know then I was 13
I discovered it at 8 years old way back in 2009 been HEAVILY addicted since and been trying to quit for almost 5 years now and all i gotta say if its taking this long this shit is SERIOUS and you definitely should seek professional help 👇 thanks for being an amazing human lucid people are scared to talk about this
Also tell a loved one ☝️ really makes the difference with support ill be seeing help as soon as my broken foot heals up good luck to all of you 🤙❤️
I don't have brother.
Lucid you are my elder brother from another mother ☺
It's good that even young people are reaching out for help.
Bro u are one of the yt legend that never have to die.... Remember me when u will become famous ✌🏻u talk to us like a really good friend, u are so inspirational. U definitely deserve more subs. I'm out peace 🙃
Thank you for talking about this, keep up the good work!
God bless you for using your channel for good!
my advice is telll your parents your addicted they’ll probs take your phone away and put restrictions on computer so you’ll most likely not be able to relapse i never did it but just my advice or destroy your phone
Not really a good idea since telling your parents my cause extreme amount of stress with the wrong parent and might even cause you even worse mental health problems with the wrong response
Destroying your phone is stupid. It's basically a necessity in today's age. Trust me, it's much more than a privacy invading device that's also bad for your mental health if used correctly...
are you seriously this braindead?
@@Error-dq9wf yes man😂
This is why I have a special feeling when I watch Lucid’s videos he is really open about anything and is always here for his fans he really showed us what responsibility is and taught us to take that responsibility when needed
This is SOOOO important, you are an awesome kid for addressing this!!!!👍
hope that kid gets better, and he really should stop because its not only hurting hm mentally also physically i was able to bypass that stage and stop just by thinking how much harm i will cause to myself if i did that
Yea not going to lie, I had to look deeper within myself and figure out WHY I wanted to stop and WHAT I am going to gain from stopping. Been free from the addiction for over 6 months now.
I honestly feel like lucid is black balled from YT, he speaks the truth and too positive, no1 wants to hear that sadly , keep up the great work lucid we love you
If I had that problem now (I had it) I would download a website blocker and disable all the sites I knew! Then I would start up a game and try to only focus on that game. Not like a day but 1 hour or 2 just to calm down. Not a shooter game but some ’passive‘ game like Minecraft or Scrap Mechanic or something to build a house or a car or even a plane. It personally helped me a lot because I now think about what to do in that game and what I can improve about my gaming-skill more than what site to watch for the next hour!
i'm 16 live in New Zealand and addicted to this stuff and haven't told anyone about it and i struggle with the relapse's i'm trying meditation but the relapse's is slowing me down with the progress i have been doing but i all ways relapse i been watch you video's for a while now and it helps me a little sometime's i'm trying to quite and doing it by my self is hard i feel like a loser that's why i haven't told anyone
I’ve just watched a few videos in a row because you discuss such important topics and I strongly agree with your perspective. Thank you for spreading kindness to us:)
I think as you grow older, you will realize how bad it affects your health. I went through that when I was 16 years old and I admit that is very hard to quit. It occurs naturally because of puberty but after the age of 18 - 19 my body starts to stop, and every time I think about it I feel tired. There is nothing wrong with doing it but don't do it too often, I recommend 1-2 times a week is maximum.
Bless you man 🙏❤️. Thanks for this video. Everyone out there watching this video who struggle with this addiction will benefit🙏❤️✊
i fell into this trap when i was around 11 im 15 now and still battling it has gotten better but im still trying to quit once i quit for around a year and a half and i fell back again i will keep trying to quit this horrendous action and things like these should be completely outlawed forever
Same I’m 15 as well immma keep fighting
Honestly.. cigarettes are also extremely easy to get. Everything he is saying is correct.
this why im subscribed bro i honestly am inspired by you, you just get more real every video, love you content lucid keep it up.
Kid's probably scared to tell his parents, thinking if they just completely void him of it, take away his computer, ect. Addicts don't wanna lose their drug.
You gotta take controll man, beating it ain't everything. Whenever you get the urge try to do other things. Talk to someone, listen to music and dance, play an instrument, go for a run, keep your mind enguaged. Good luck.
Addictions will get over. I’m going to explain how i got over my gaming addiction as an example. This story is very detailed and has a lot of errors in it so i’m sorry lol.
I really really got addicted by gaming because i got in a scooter accident when i was 9. I broke my foot and thats how i figured out what roblox was. I got addicted so much that i ditched my friends. When i was 17, i was still addicted.
Around september 2020, i was going to the bathroom after my friend left my PS4 party. I forgot to tell my dad something important so i decided to do it after i finished. After i told him the important thing he asked me to sit next to him. I was giving him the face like; nah im good sorry. He said; (in a nice way) come (since he saw i was shy because i was SOO MF INTROVERT LMAO)
My neighbors were giving a party for one of her daughter’s bday outside. We live in a flat by the way. They were going to a club and they knew i was “the son of ” and they said: do you wanna come?
Me: uh, where to?
They: a club
Me: sure i guess (because she was hot af lmao)
So i went with them to the club and istg it was one of the nicest thing in my whole life.. they showed me how fun this is. This is what i’ve been missing out on my whole childhood. Fyi; i’m 18 now.
When we went home, i was one of the happiest guys on the planet i was so grateful for their kindness. My uncle was throwing a party 20 days later and we were so close with the neighbors so they came aswell. Once again the neighbors asked me if i was coming aswell. I said yeah sure.
And after that i knew deep in my heart that this is what i’ve been missing out on.
What if my friend never left my PS party. Or i didn’t went to the bathroom. Or what if i didn’t think of that one important thing. What if i said no. Then i wouldn’t be where i am right now.
They have no idea how grateful i am. They have no idea how much they mean to me. They will never understand how much they have helped me. I am getting really sad of this story because this has been tearing me up for like 8 years of my life.
Addictions pass away eventually. You just need a moment of realisation.

Man I’m 15 and I know this guys struggle. I also started at 13, one day I was stressed during Covid and never looked back. Worst thing I’ve ever done. It’s basically ruined my life, I can’t look at people in their eyes, and I can’t even talk to girls without thinking about sex. I’ve tried to stop for a while now but I just keep relapsing. Here we go I guess…Day one, I’ll update.

GABAHAHA
i hope nobody goes through this. sending virtual love 💓
I am 14, when I was younger (like 9-11 years old) I found about it from UA-camrs but I didn't watch it until I was 12-13 years old when all my classmates were watching it, and I thought: "Why not giving a try? If every boy in my class is watching it, why shouldn't I, it should be pretty cool." since that day I couldn't stop watching it, I actually stopped watching it like 5 months ago. I still watch like Instagram thots and girls on NSFW subreddits and I still fap, I can't take it anymore. Worst decision in my life.
I am 20, female and beat a p*rn addiction last year. I started when I was 7 years old playing P flash games and at my worst I was extreme f*tish stuff that I didn't even like to feel something. I would objectify myself because the P made me think that's all I was good for
Edit: is there any other women that had/ have P addiction - I feel alone in that sometimes
Yh this addiction is pretty hard to quit but only with you own determination and perseverance you can defeat this monster 👹. Because I’ll admit it I am two months without needing this sort of “pleasure” and I feel better than I was feeling before.this thing actually drains all your energy, makes you look at females as a sexual object and turns you into a real pervert. Thank you Lucid for bringing this topic up because not many youtubers and social media influences talk about this, this global pandemic 🦠 is bigger than the coronavirus ,has been there longer and is killing the brains of many innocent children. For anyone going experiencing this, you don’t have to go through this alone and just talk to people about your feelings it will make you feel 100% better!! I promise 😁
My biggest advice for someone so deep in that rut is to stay busy.
I have been where that kid has been (possibly even worse). Discovered it at 12-13 and for years hadn't gone a single day without it.
But now I keep my mind busy and stable. I do exercise and engage in productive stuff such as school/work and guitar.
I think going for walks helps too, and trying to seperate women from the shows and performances P displays.
Once you can healthily define what's going on is an addiction and it's unnatural, you can take active steps to reduce your dependence to it.
Lucid this is completely true. I used to be like this (not an extreme level like 4-6 but more like once a day) and you are completely right. Honestly it really is the only way to solve this problem.
This dude a walking god
Always helping people out 💯
Very inspiring Lucid I hope this helps his addiction.
Lucid got me into lucid dreaming and I've been doing it for 2 weeks and I still haven't got one yet but, I'm still trying and I keep watching his old lucid dream tutorial videos.
I hope Lucid realises he's a living GOAT and changing lives , god bless this man
Thank you Lucid. This really helped me out and brought me to a better part of life.
