Day 54 "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." - Sun Tzu Very relevant quote to NoFap. If you try to fight against the urges, they will only grow stronger. If you surrender to them, you're swept away. All you can do is bear them until the storm fades.
So for me what's worked is I asked guys who had 2+ years with NoFap what they did and I was directed to a page that had a long list of instructions for me to follow. I went through the whole list, locked up my devices, talked in depth about my triggers and began to understand why I fapped better than I ever have. Next I got an accountability partner, several in fact, and joined this and other groups to insure I'd have ppl to talk to whenever the urges hit. I work other programs for other addictions, so no drinking, no smoking (this I started 8 years ago, before NoFap), and no eating crappy food for me anymore (this began 9 months ago). As a result, in 2014 I was able to go back to school and start on a good career path... Something crucial for single guys out there looking for a meaningful relationship. Then I found one and got married. Then she and I started eating healthy together and I lost 75lbs and started exercising a bunch. I felt good about everything happening in my life, that I felt I was ready to tackle my first and primary addiction, pornography. For me, it wasn't until all the necessary aspects of my life we in order, including spirituality and prayer, that I was able to find the strength to quit pmo. Today girls look at me like they never have before, and my addiction talks to me saying I should be unfaithful and take advantage of my newfound popularity... But then I turn to NoFap and the guys I know here to guide me back to path towards recovery. So if you're wondering why you keep failing that would be my answer. If you want someone to walk with you in inviting spirituality and the strength that comes with that to change your life, the send me a message. I'm willing to show anyone interested how I got to 63 days and counting for the first time in my life.
Day 26 The quantum field responds not to what we want; it responds to who we are being. Joe Dispenza, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One
Day 3- A much better day three days in. Yesterday was especially tough but I managed to survive using the 5 second rule, deep breathing, meditation and prayer. I had to repeat this cycle several times before I could finally calm down and sleep. I also told myself that viewing porn even p subs is equal to hypofrontality and it would lead me to never achieving any of my goals that I have set out to achieve. I am glad I did not concede to my urges
I will re-read this book again and get a refresher on the concepts. Joe Dispenza's book helped me with the my first long streak. I thought I was over PMO but it slowly crept up on me and bit me with its poison. If I fully applied Dispenza's concepts I will be a long way to being free of PMO.
