    I've begun looking at all adversity as a gift in disguise, any distressing feelings could be a potential lesson unfolding before me. When I take my cold showers the sheer terror that pours down my body makes me resilient to life's obstacles. It's more related to improving one's life in general than confining it to just quitting porn. Porn is the most addictive substance you can ever find if you can overcome such addiction anything else is beyond what you aim for in life.

    In the begining, I couldn't shower on my coldest setting cause it did hurt like crazy within secconds on my skin.
    Now after 3 weeks of daly cold showers, I can jump right into the coldest setting, having a super small...shock...it's not an actual shock anymore...and then I'm good to go.
    During the 3 weeks however, I did connect a LOT of joy with the cold shower, so I am not afraid of it anymore, go for a bit longer and the terror will end :D

    I'm sort of afraid that after a longer while, cold showers lose their effect since it becomes super easy after some weeks doing it

    I'm familiar. He's a beast. I tried the method months ago, I even did 50 pushups while holding my breath. Might try it again. Problem is breathing loudly is kinda weird with other people around.

    Thanks for mentioning the cold shower OP, and also thanks for the comments guys. This reminded me of the time when I was starting out to do it consistently about a year ago. It was still uncomfortable each time. Now it’s become s3cond nature like brushing my teeth. I feel like something is missing if I don’t have it a day.

    From my personal experience, I started out small (30 seconds), then built up from there. I clean my body with warm water first, and then finish off with 5 minutes of ice cold. Very empowering.

    It's almost the right medicine, like your cleanse your sins away, as the cold water hardens your body and soul.
     
  15. Pain is addictive too. Like, the dopamine I used to get from
    slicing my wrists open... insane. I once had an entire party where I just cut myself all over my body just to feel alive.
