What makes you want to continue?

I was depressed and binged for hours in order to not face my life. This felt like sh***t. Slowly I start to get all things done and sorted out and it feels way better. So my why:

I want to be happy and I want to live my life.

 

I don't want to live a life of mediocrity, and PMO was keeping me there.

 

I felt that PMO made me physically and mentally weaker. I was always not feeling 'full" and energized enough. Always felt like I was losing grip of everything and after PMO, I would be silently wishing for a girlfriend and be all depressed.

I abstained becauze I tried nofap for a bout 6 days which made me feel more energized and not sick so often. I felt like I was back in control of my own self, and not mh dick I guess. Mor energy meant more lively, more lively meant more thoughts and more thoughts made me speak more and socialise more. Socialise more and you'll kniw more ppl, and that will some day lead me to the girl of my dreams.

 

The alternative is worse.

 

Religious reasons. I'm convinced that God wants me to abstain from PMO. When I fall into masturbation, I feel like God is a million miles away from me. I desire to be closer to Him, so that gives me motivation to keep fighting the desires that I experience (in regards to PMO).

 

My porn use was destroying my wife's self-esteem to the extent that she felt she would have to leave me to protect herself. If you knew how much she loves me you would know how terrible this was. I should be the source of her joy, I should be making her feel amazing, not crushing her spirit.

 

Too many reasons to count...

• Been a daily or multiple times a day habit for decades.
• PIED Has impacted my sex life for as long as I have been an addict.
• My wife and I miss each other's physical presence.
• It saps my energy.
• It gives me a false sense of fulfillment.

 

Porn overuse

• extinguishes the "fire in the belly"
• makes your dick go limp
• is an addiction, i.e. extremely hard to stop even with knowledge of the negative effects

 

I want to live a life without this addiction, so in order to do that I must quit and never go back to it. Quitting pmo also make me more focused and keeps me motivated to help others too. It's the best decision, I think everyone should try no fap.

 

How I see the world now and how the world sees me makes me want to keep abstaining. How I can actually feel my emotions, sadness , excitement, joy makes me want to keep abstaining. How I see myself living in 5 years makes me want to keep abstaining. I'm at 200 plus day of living the nofap lifestyle and all the hardwork, will power and discipline I built during that time makes me want to keep abstaining.

 

I would like to see what I've never seen in PMO.

 

I ended up watching transsexual porn and I developed HOCD. I don't want to imagine what would have happened if I continued with the pmo.

 

I'm not happy having such a selfish, instantly gratifying addiction.

 

Pmo keeps me from my feelings, it makes me care less about life and what happens to me.

 

PAIN

 

Dignity.

 

Regret.
When I am on my deathbed I want to look back on my life and see how awesome it was, how I got to be the best version of myself and just took action in every situation. I want to see how happy I was and see that I got married to a lovely woman and have kids, a nice job and a nice house. I don't want to look back and feel regret because I kept fapping and watching pornography and lead a mediocre life without real happiness. I just don't want to feel any regret on my deathbed and that is what keeps pushing me forward to lead the best life I can possbily have.
