Just completed 90 days - here's my Top 10 Tip List

Fran1981, ping me. I can be your accountability partner if you would like the support. Let's put a plan together. SF

 

Developing a Personal Strategy.

I’ve recently been emailing with a few people on NoFap that seem to be struggling in the very beginning. I can relate as I went through numerous stops and starts before I finally got some traction and made it past the first two to three weeks. Developing a personal strategy and approach was a huge step for me in making NoFap progress. (During the 90-day reboot, I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing, but looking back it is very clear, I had developed a personal strategy to getting through the 90 days, which can be very painful and frustrating at times.)

Here are some threads to review that have powerful input on how people have gotten through the 90-day re-boot. These Fapstronauts have developed strategies and behavioral patterns to get through the withdrawals, to change their mindset and to get on to a better life. If you are starting this process and serious about changing your life, study these threads and learn from these guys – they are willing to share their knowledge. There is a lot of commonality in these threads and suggestions that you can adapt to fit your situation.

Mark has some excellent insights about the re-boot process. Read what he has to say about the “addictive voice”. Wow.

Best to you all, SF.

 

Hi Mundocorde, when I meditate I connect with my heart. When thoughts come in I gently go back to my heart. When I pray, I state what the concern is. I don't pray to receive or get something. I just simply state the need. Sometimes, I am full of gratitude and I just say thank you, thank you, thank you. SF

 

Good things are worth repeating. I just read this on nericwilson's thread. This relates to so many NoFap posts and what people have done when they re-boot. I think it's fascinating how its put into technical terms, yet it is basically the same thing. It's a great find.

 

Thanks guys. I think it is important to post things that are hopeful. Simply, because there is hope. We can change and there are a bunch of people on nofap blazing the way. And, Atmanm23 - no kidding! When a streak end it is painful. I kept looking daily at my tracker...to get up to the 65 day again and then to pass that milestone. That was such an impetus to keep going. As we go up the mountain, the path gets narrower. But, man, the vistas are something else. Peace. SF
