Now my behaviour is still awkward in between friends. Still memory didn't improve. Waiting ......... Anyways one more day under my belt. Cheers guys.
great post bro, i think you really nailed the spirit of nofap. this is not about becoming monks, this is about winning over a lustful addiction. when you want to give pleasure to yourself but without using some external source, that is perfect. you really made the reboot . congratulations. and great coincidence because last night i wrote in my guidelines a new point which is crucial to understand the core of this addiction. i will write below. big hug my friend

11 My friends, besides the damaging effects that porn does to your body and mind there´s another problem much deeper that goes through society that i think we don´t talk here as often. You see, we´re not really addicted to porn, we´re addicted to sexual stimulation - lust. Lust is basically dwelling in sexual amusement. Sex should come in the context of a loving strong connection, not as a means through an end. Lust - whether from porn, softcore, hookers, your dirty mind, whatever…. reduces human beings to objects. We stop seeing a person as a whole and reduce it to it´s sexual feature. We´re using people instead of loving people. It´s the same nature of killing, stealing, etc… we´re not respecting others, we´re abusing them. Society has a great deal in why things are this way, we are constantly being bombarded by sexy materials, it´s everywere. And that is something we must strongly say “NO”. We should know somebody´s body when we know their traits. That creates a deep connection between two people and through it sex becomes a transcendental experience. So everytime society presents you with the glorification of the body, wether from movies, magazines, internet, prostitutes, etc… turn your head away. People are not body parts, they do not exist to satisfy our needs. I have no doubt that much of the violence and tension between men and women are deeply rooted in the way society encourages the reduction of people to objects. So if we can see from this perspective our attitude towards PMO changes from “fighting it off” our system to “giving it up” because it´s plain wrong. I don´t mean to be cheesy but i think those groups of people that were protesting against porn 50 years ago they were right all along.
Start date 25.05.2019 No PMO since 17 days (this is my longest streak) Cold shower challenge day 6 Running challenge day 1 I have lower libido levels in these days and had foggy mind this evening. I believe all will pass day by day. Best wishes bros!!!
Relapsed again. Porn is a drug, it's just that it's not talked about and you don't know. people will easily rattle off how drugs are bad but what about porn? I am not happy with it it's just that now I don't know what it's like outside of it.
