    I see all of you guys talking about addiction or questioning whether it truly is an unhealthy habit.
    I have gone through this back and forth, I just dont know the truth? When I stop masturbating, it seems in a way also harmful, because after a couple of days I cant focus because of the urge and my head can even hurt...

    I see all you men here, people I respect to be honest because we are all on the same boat. But I need your help, how can I know if I struggle hard to fight this addiction that its going to be beneficial for me, that it is actually harmful habit?

    All I know is I Masturbated for like 30yrs. Never stopped for any real duration or streak. In the early days of NoFap it almost seemed impossible and definitely was foreign behavior for me. I thought I may just die.

    Fast forward 4 months. I am in uncharted territory being free of that compulsion. Every day is a new record and I didn't die. I expect I will never return because that is not who I am now.

    "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new."

    Good luck, it's worth it.
     
  3. It may seem...as this may not be worth it. But trust me, it is. This activity is terrible for your health. You lose connection with your emotions...with others and yourself. Its like a drug, becomes the only thing you think about. Try keeping you mind active, take walks, study topics that give you interest. Take a minute to look at yourself and see what must change...most importantly, do not stick with these thoughts...they are what bring you back to this issue. In the end, your the only one who can change yourself, no one else can for you...even if you slip up, your human...but do not let it bring you down, try small challenges, every time you meet your goal...its a win. Just do not lose hope, we are here to help.

    Yeah, coupled with school and studying I know how you feel. My head physically hurts and it seems that the only option is to let my guard down and pmo.

    BUT there are so many more outlets! I have found that taking a mini-nap for 5-10 minutes clears up your head! And the thing is, if you get past that obstacle you feel like a boss. It doesn't seem like it during the moment but once you conquer that battle, you feel like a f*ing king. I've been there many times but too many times I have failed to hurdle that obstacle.

    Truth hurts your right, it stings, it's crushing, but what do you do when reality smacks you in the face and you realize that you've fucked your life up? You start to make better decisions, you start making the best of your fucked up life. You start to accept things for what they are. Truth is painful but I love it's sting. I wouldn't have it any other way. The more you hurt, the more progress your making. Ill have days where I feel like actual death, emotionless, distant, lonely, depressed, but the I'll go to sleep and wake up the next day feeling better and grateful even to be alive. Just keep at it and make the most of your life.

    There always something to be learned through suffering and you gain wisdom from it just live in the present moment and take the necessary steps to help don't focus on what you did in the past or seeking the future for recovery that's your brain creating problems for you because your brain has made you identify with pmo so much but your true self your higher consciousness knows what you need to do realize you are not your thoughts and especially when we think negative things we are feeding are brains and it leads to mental exhaustion just be mindful of your thoughts and focus on what you can do NOW!! good luck bro
