Starting to lose hope

Don't give up my friend! Star again! Clear your mind!

 

Its Ok man! Relapse is a normal part of recovery. Now you know the program works, and will try harder next time! Don't beat yourself up, and use this experience to make yourself stronger. Beating yourself up will only create another cycle of relapse. Clear your mind like @grman said (Mindfulness Meditation is a good way to help discipline your mind to stay away from unwholesome thoughts.) , and press onwards!

 

Dont feel guilty. The cycle of addiction, from what i studied from google is,
addiction act--->guilty--->self-hatred/disgust--->depression/anger--->self-worth goes down/loneliness--->anxiety creeps in--->more anxiety--->anxiety coping mechanism and we give in--->addiction act--->guilty---

so maybe to break the cycle you have to attack more than one stages. when anxiety comes, we need to search for better mechanisms, when guilt comes we must accept that we're human.

 

Don't give up my friend! Keep going, embrace the journey and I have faith in you that one day, all your issues will be solved and you'll be able to happily be with your girl! Don't lose hope, NoFap will benefit you if you put in the effort to make it happen! Good luck.

 

I read both of your post! Calm down.. you did not lose your progress if you learned something! So what did you learn? You learned that your Penis is still working and you must not worry about the hard flaccid thing. You said after abstaining for 2 weeks you were able to get erection faster! Great.. now you must wait further more, until you get a faster erection to REALITY! not porn! Just remember one thing! 90 days is the minimum it takes to go back to normal and cure ED! What I believe, is that you must reveal it all to your GF. If its real love between you then she will understand. Don't kill yourself from within. If you reveal it to her then you wont have the compulsion to perform better with her. You can kiss and cuddle till few months.. that's TRUE LOVE also! Be patient... don't worry.... you have started to cure yourself.. you did not lose progress...

 

Keep it up! If not receiving replies on your posts concerns you than its good.. it means you want nofap to work you.. I felt the same and raised my voice... plus to get motivation, you must give motivation! Help newbies. Encourage them. Comment on other peoples post! And never be afraid to ask people to help or read your journal etc. This is why we are here... relationships are always complicated. Glad your GF is supportive. If you get some time, do read my post, the demons hiding inside me.. I will appreciate it!

 

Yep! I am that guy... don't worry, I never get offended..
And yes.. ED does go away.. it takes time but it does! Do you know about Gabe deem? Dont wanna freak you out but, It took him 9 months to recover.. you must decide to suffer from anything in order to quit.. I myself had a panic attack on fifth day.. hard flaccid thing is pretty normal man.. its like you overworked your machine and it can't go on! But it gets erected to porn.. so it fine.. give it time! You will see gradual improvement.. it takes around a month for the brain to just recognize what the hell is happening! Then it starts its healing process...

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Don't loose hope. Everything will soon be alright. YOU will soon feel great, just keep going on. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Think that you are a crazy scientist. You are in your lab with really long and dirty hair and the camera is behind you. You've got sparks flying off your table and you're laughing like Cruela DeVille. If you are someone who is more inclined towards literature and cinema, think of yourself as Doctor Frankenstein.

Now to have that heavenly moment you are going to have to go through a lot of not so heavenly moments. You'll think that something is working and when you are almost there, BOOM. Your whole lab goes up in flames.

To make one moment of divine music you have to slog through countless hours on your instrument. This is life and if you want to have that moment when you are truly free and smelling the fresh air with your partner by your side, smiling at each other, you have to hit the dirt now but know that it will be worth it. I hope I was clear enough because I have a doubt that I wasn't.

Best wishes and regards
