Helloooooo. So, now I'm at my chemistry extra class and I ponder something that relates to my username, "Why did I start NoFap?". I've received advice that your why has to be strong to able to succeed. However, I can't find that strong why. There's one "why" that kept me going until the 32nd day. It's because I'm fighting to win my crush. However, I relapsed because my mate told me that my crush has already taken. Knowing that, I can actually find another crush but, it's very risky. Therefore, can you all give me tips how to find my "strong why" or share yours.

Yours is a great question and one we should all be asking. So, I hope to offer some food for thought. PMO is addictive. Like any addiction, the more you indulge it, the more you want of it until it is a constant debilitating preoccupation. A consuming preoccupation does not bring you peace but rather anxiety. It doesn't bring lasting happiness, only fleeting pleasure. It doesn't build self-confidence, because you are self-conscious of your weakness, and this not an attractive quality to prospective mates. Most importantly for Christians, PMO is a form of adultery which is a serious sin that separates us from God.

My why is so that I can have closer intimacy with God and be tuned to what He is doing in my life. Nofap is a good place to confess and be held accountable.

I want something real. P is fake. MO turns a joint activity into a solo one and robs it of its power for intimacy and connection. PMO is a liar, a thief, and a destroyer. It will take and take until it has taken everything. It robbed me of over 25 years of my life. I will not give it one second more.

Mates, now I realised after writing my journal for the day why my crush was my strongest reason for NoFap. Because, I hope that I can be with her and I can experience comfort. Now I get it, it's all about comfort and I thought PMO can bring me that comfort. However, it's temporary. That's why THAT'S WHY I'M ON NOFAP. I'M CHASING THAT COMFORT THAT'S NEVER ENDING. The comfort of living as a disciple, to reach my dreams, to be a whole better human being. Mates, this is a discovery. I thank God that He helped me today. This is proof that He's here, He exists, and He cares.

There is only one true source of comfort! https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+1:3-7&version=NLT

My why is because God changed my heart to recognise that PMO itself has no why. I realised that it is completely futile and there just is no reward. Any 'reward' only reinforces my need for it, which makes me weaker when I'm not doing it. I realised this at a deep, deep level that I find difficult to articulate, but that difficulty in itself is evidence to me that God has truly set my heart against PMO.
