    Wow, this is really eye-opening.
    What I thought was absolutely obvious was apparently not obvious to some people. I always understood NoFap as a healing and self-improvement journey and thus the whole point is to accelerate your growth in life (which was slowed down by PMO). But to take the slow growth in life due to PMO and then make that a complete HALT on growth for half a decade or more, that is absolutely horrific and a bastardization of the whole discipline of NoFAP...

    In regard to aggressiveness and irritability, apart from channelling energy into sport etc., I would suggest to read some books about stoicism which simply teaches how to get control over emotions, especially Mark Aurelius, Epiktet and Seneca. It helps me a lot with many aspects of my life. NF and stoic rules put into practice is like a beer and cigarettes. A slice of bread and butter. Like a sport car and straight, empty road.

But guess what, i didnt start dating because my anxiety of getting rejected and be vulnerable to a girl. After that i fall in a relapse cycle again for 5 months and with that i destroyed my progress. Did i stopped living, yes and no. I get shredded with a bodyfat of 7% but till this day i have not touched a single women this year.

And i also feel tired after waking up.actually our brain takes fapping as a coping macanism against stress i guess. But when we are not in it, it needs time for brain to cope up with it. I guess its normal. You should try to find some ways to calm your brain and mind.Then the quality of sleep will increase.but dont worry

    Hey Bob, wanted to give some simple but useful advice. My relapse trigger was always bed time.
    Put on gloves before bed!
    1. Impossible to wank with gloves on.
    2.Removing them is a warning cue that you have wank intent. That should trigger cold shower, walk or get up.
    3. Gloves prevent unconscious cheeky brushing, which when heightened is very tingly and nice. This prevents edging trap.
    4. Get out of bed in morning, gloves come off.
    NB: If you are determined to wank, you will take the gloves off. However, there is enough inertia here to prevent early day, silly, weak and vulnerable bed relapses.

  • @Crocodile7104
    @Crocodile7104 4 роки тому +3

    Just like there is a dark side to nofap so too is there a benefit to relapses, that being that you can learn from your mistakes to do a better job doing nofap and getting more benefits from it.
    Lifes has been extremely horrible for me as of late which caused me to relapse into bad habits again but as time went on i realized that i needed to get my act together and try getting out of this negative cycle, no matter how small the step was and I as time went on i remembered the valuable lessons I learned on self improvement that i forgot cause of lifes cruelty.
    That all things, good and bad come and go and the only thing we humans have in control is how long it lasts.
    That we must mentally prepare ourselves daily if we want to reduce the negative emotions and cravings of negative habits and that journaling is one of the best ways to do it.
    And that we must take small steps in improving ourselces and solving our problems.
    Im currently on day 1 of nofap and i never feel better and i will continue this path of self improvement because journaling has helps me out so much in cementing the lessons i learned, solving my problems, emptying my mind of pointless thoughts and so much more.

    I put my life on hold right now, but that's because I am withdrawing hard in the 2 week period. I've went 60 days before, that's my best streak, but when I relapsed I binged all month. Now back on nofap and 2 weeks in and I feel too bad to do anything. Don't worry, I'm not obsessing over numbers, but I just need to get over this slump right now. I'll be back to living life in no time.

      @Dylan O'Riordan-Mitchell so, this may take a few years to really engrain, but I'll tell you now and hopefully you can get this straight right away. It is ALL IN YOUR HEAD! that's right. Porn is not actually making you depressed, it's the fear of quitting porn that's actually making you depressed, making you feel withdrawals, when in all actuality the withdrawal symptoms are extremely mild. Feeling bad over porn use or having hardcore withdrawal symptoms is all in your head, it's all about fearing it. You can quit porn for a couple days and have instant benefits, all about how you perceive it. The reason why a lot of guys struggle and end up relapsing and getting so down about it is because they fear quitting. They are afraid of withdrawals, afraid of the porn itself and afraid of having an addiction, and all this fear will just make you more addicted. Try just quitting porn each day and immediately feeling the benefits, and realize that everytime you close the browser you have just became an instant non-user. Realize there is no 90 day goal or year goal or any certain date you will feel better. Feeling better depends on YOU, RIGHT NOW! I hope this helps. If you don't feel very good right now (trust me, I've been there many times) realize it is all in your head, all about what people have told you about nofap, all temporary feelings we all as normal people feel from time to time non- users and users alike.

    • @jakeybreakyheart2287
      @jakeybreakyheart2287 Рік тому

      @Dylan O'Riordan-Mitchell no, it is not low dopamine levels, the low dopamine levels are caused by your own thoughts. I promise you bro, the withdrawals are actually really mild for everyone. It's you thinking that the withdrawals are genuine that is making you feel like this. I know this dude, because I felt the same way before I realized this concept. I went on a six month streak that ended in relapse once, and that was my best streak prior to the one now. I am SO MUCH better than the last time, and this time it really only took me a few days to feel better. In the six month streak I constantly had withdrawal pangs throughout the entire six months, and what ive learned from that is that it was all actually in my head, because I quit for a long time and was afraid to lose that streak, afraid of going back after being clean for that long, and guess what? I WENT BACK! The key concept you should take away from Scandinavian bob's videos is not any of the science, or anything to do with dopamine or any of that, just forget about that stuff, the key concept to take away ( and I love this concept from Scandinavian bob btw) is to "adopt the warrior mindset", that means fear nothing. The withdrawals are not genuine, ever. You haven't watched porn for a little while at least yes? You already have the benefits, realize that and they will grow each day. You are already a non-user.
