Hello!! A Decade of addiction.

Discussion in 'New to NoFap' started by Deleted Account, Jun 3, 2018.

  1. Hello friends
    I am 21 years old dude who had been pmo from last 7 years and mo from last 10 years(like a fool). Never made a single contact with any girl till today. Can't hold conversation with girls. And all time I think I didn't not deserve girls. It's now that I came to know that I am fucking pmo addicted and loose my capabilities of socialize,sports,studies,traveling,emotionlly numb guy. This is very shocking because I have many pmo addicted symptoms.
    I am in serious problems. Like brain fog.numbness. Lost self respect. And having so much self doubts.

    Hi there. Abstaining from PMO can increase your confidence around the opposite sex because when you abstain, you are not objectifying them. Your respect for women will grow when you abstain from PMO.

    Your thoughts match with mine too, have not been able to hold a proper conversation with a girl for the last 10 years and more, and realised if hadnt started watching porn and fapping, would be very different now. After 40 days of nofap, actually feel unstoppable and godly, can control urges pretty easily. Hope you the very best in your journey [Thatismypast]

  5. Hi. Welcome to forum!

    Make sure you create a personal journal thread in Reboot Logs section and blog there on a regular basis. As well as just generally be active participant in various forum discussions. I recommend this to everybody new here because it's the major thing that helped me when I was first starting. Just lurking on forums, reading and learning is great. But it usually is so much more powerful to engage. It helps to keep us motivated and accountable when we are active part of community. And keeps this in front of our minds so we don't forget about importance of it and slip away in our old habits. Sharing is also therapeutic. This is a major reason why AA meetings work so good. But that was developed before internet era. These days we can get most of the same benefits online through communities like this. So don't underestimate the power of active participation.

    I would also like to suggest you to look into mindfulness meditation. It has helped me personally tremendously to learn how to deal with urges and triggers. It takes a while to get good at it and notice results, so you need to be consistent with it, but once you do it's very powerful. It has been used by sages for thousands of years to deal with various issues of the mind. And in recent decades the science is also catching up to what ancient sages have know for centuries. Meditation these days are widely used as very effective tool by psychologists for treating addiction and by neurologists for supporting recovery of the brain. It is a great exercise for the brain the same way as jogging is great exercise for the body. Check out this Ted talk, it gives a good idea of what's it about when it comes to philosophy. As far as practical side of it there is this awesome smartphone app called Headspace for guided meditations to get you started.

    Wish you lot's of strength and success in your reboot journey!

    This is very true. Practice holding eye contact for a few seconds as well. “The master failed more times than the beginner has tried”. You have to practice in order to improve.
