Day 85/365 EMANCIPATION, n. A bondman's change from the tyranny of another to the despotism of himself. He was a slave: at word he went and came; His iron collar cut him to the bone. Then Liberty erased his owner's name, Tightened the rivets and inscribed his own. -Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary
I'm home from school today and I haven't really done anything. I did my morning routine but after that I've basically just been laying around. The past hour or so has been filled with crazy urges and I really thought I was going to relapse. First I just got a bunch of urges and the excuses instantly came. So I basically just gave up and decided to screw NoFap (has happened so many times). Then, right when I entered the browser to look up some "U know what" my whole mindset changed. Suddenly it didn't seem appealing at all to watch that stuff and relapse. It was like me accepting that I was going to relapse made all the urges and excitement disappear. So I survived, just bearly though. Tomorrow I hope to be more active again. Day 4.
This is an extremely good sign - if you persist, this will grow stronger. Keep reminding yourself that you have the option to choose not to do this. It takes many repetitions to make a habit and to extinguish past behaviors. Don't navigate by feelings - they are fickle and unreliable. They blow you around in any direction like a dead leaf. Acts of the will such as today are a compass that will always point true North, the way out of this hell. Choose it even when, or especially when, the emotions say, "I don't wanna!" The payoff is in the future, when becomes the dominant impulse, over "screw nofap!"
Hi, Im back after a while away. I tried before and I've kept trying while off nofap. Its been a rough few months but it will eventually happen. Today was day 1... again.
