Guys, how do you cope with zero motivation, really?

Absolutely. Lack of drive was a big issue for me before I decided to give up porn. When I abstain, lack of energy isn't a problem, but whenever I relapse and start binging, I start losing my energy again. Focus on quitting porn and the rest will follow.

 

I cannot say I really felt any of these things (not consistently or long term) until I decided to quit porn and masturbation. That's when the reality of my addiction hit and began creating issues (yes, and opportunities) that I had never noticed before. For most people, whether they are doing PMO or not, some lack of motivation or having no gas is a reality. It's just part of the human condition. But trying to kick porn while going through these things doesn't lighten the load.
I try - fail - and I try again. When I feel particularly down, I try to go to sleep at night feeling better about myself. To do this I find a quiet place. I admit to myself that not everything is under my control. I try to recall good things I did that day. I try to think about where I could improve. I recall some of the reasons why I need to quit PMO. I resolve to try hard the next day. I resolve to be a bit better. I never give myself unrealistic expectations or swear that I will never PMO again. I never lie. But I do try to resolve to do a little better. I hope this helps. I am sure you will get a lot of good tips. Be good to yourself.

 

Unfortunately, porn addiction has a great effect on impulse control and motivation. You've essentially trained your mind to chase short term immediate gratification. It physically reduced the capabilities of the prefrontal cortex, the decision-making, social, and moral compass of you're brain. The brain is malleable though, so abstain long enough and the brain can heal itself. I've seen my grades improve drastically when im on long Nofap streaks. Do some research.. look into porns effect on the mind. Youll be shocked.

 

When I have no motivation I seek inspiration.

 

Are you currently doing nofap? If not, then try it and see for yourself.

 

Motivation comes and goes. It sucks anyway. What you need to find is something that drives you. Something, anything where you don't need an alarm clock to wake u up. Your passion is for you, your purpose is for others. Everyone has a gift in life, but it is your job to find it. Whatever it is, world peace, animal cruelty, buying a house for your parents, I don't know what floats your boat man. Sit down and write what you like and what you don't like. Don't be afraid to sit in a room for a few hours with yourself.
