"You will become as small as your controlling desire; as great as you dominant aspiration.'' James Allen.
"The soul reaches the height of its cherished aspirations. It falls to the level of its unchastened desires." James Allen
It is impossible for someone who loves himself/herself to do something that will end up hurting him/her. This is the iron law. The more i delve into this addiction the more I am convinced it is all about self-acceptance & self-regulation. Your substance of addiction has nothing to do with your addiction.
lol the opposite of its so true...... I always tend to overthink about what sb says to me....sometimes even if what they said wasn't negative, I'd take it that way and it does tend to ruin my day. And this stuff happens everyday, so I am basically screwing myself over every day. Being miserable...self-made miserablenaire... The day I focus on the positive things and strive to do my best is the day I finally live.
Day 27. You are all unbelievably cool, some of you do not understand how crazy the thing they are doing. We are breaking the laws of nature. We can control our Instinct of reproduction. We are less than 1% of the world's population. Do not stop. "You're breathtaking". Thats what I read on reddit as soon as I opened my mac. Its really cool and motivating. But I think I am on a flatline again. Yesterday again filth got in my head and guess what without watching anything which could trigger an urge. My memories triggered my filth, more I recalled more dopamine I got. Well every one would have experienced some intimate moments with their opposite gender, so I think my dopamine deprived brain was triggering my urge by recalling my those memories, and that too by making them so vivid, to minuscule details. Thankfully it did not made my urges so potent, that I would be regretting my actions. But it made me mull upon my decision of this journey. I became skeptical whether I would be healed or not. Or I will fall into the trap again and at some point maybe on day 36th or 68th or 89th I will give up and then binge again to porn. Thats how harmones play with your brain. It makes you weak, so that you become vulnerable and you give up. I have made a regime, I am following it with dedication, discipline and a strong desire to make it to the other side. I will meet with these kind of depressed times when my brain will want a dopamine hit, I will confront some uncomfortable, embarrassing and failure moments which will make me more vulnerable for a dopamine hit, in those moments I need to stay strong and remember why I started this whole journey. DESIRE. THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT IS DESIRE. KEEP THIS CONSTANTLY IN MIND. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. If you find yourself lacking in persistence, this weakness may be remedied by building a stronger fire under your desires. The above quotes were from this amazing book "Think and grow rich" by Napolean Hill which I recommend every one to read it at least three times. Why three times? Because then only the golden concepts of the book(in general, which everyone think they already know) will go deep in your subconscious mind and then you will start applying those concepts to elevate yourself. Today I would like to motivate myself and recall the day 0 of my journal so that the memory of my goal becomes more vivid and I stay on my path, also more fire is generated under my desires(goal), so that I become more strong with my decision to achieve my recovery and become a better human being in this overall journey of nofap. I would like to thank all the people those who care to even read my posts, cuz you are helping me by helping yourself. Read my other posts in my journal and comment on it if you like, it would be a boost in my confidence, to fight and finally achieve my goal. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...y-streak-join-me-and-elevate-yourself.240120/
one thing I do is, if I identify a toxic person, I stay the F away from them. thats been working good so far.
