    Have a great Sunday!!!

    Here´s some wisdom from our brother in this struggle, JK Emezi, now sober for 13 years.

    "One of the most powerful things that can help someone effectively quite porn is just to understand how it affects the brain and what makes it so appealing. Rather than seeming like an unstoppable, menacing, or mysterious force, the addiction a person has to porn is driven as something natural and normal that’s been hijacked by a supernormal reproductive and an evolutionary reinforcer.

    Once a person understands the science between the use of porn, a person can see what it truly is: sexual junk food. If someone wants to stop eating chips, they learn the bad ways that chips affect the body and take actionable steps to stop buying these and bringing them into the home.

    Accept That You Look at Porn but Want to Stop Looking
    Aristotle once said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” This is true. Cognitive psychology has shown time and time again that your behavior shapes the way you feel and think. Action is what shapes who you are.

    If you look at porn often, you must accept the fact you do this. It may be hard to accept, but just looking at this as an addiction makes the problem even more difficult to overcome because you give yourself an external locus of control.

    Accept and Quit
    Remember, though, acceptance and resignation aren’t the same thing. Now that you have accepted it, you can begin making proactive changes.

    If you want to become a guy who doesn’t look at porn, you must start acting like that guy. This is a fake it until you make it situation.

    There is also outside help that you can seek. Someone to help you overcome this situation can be invaluable, so investigate the options that are in your local area. With the right support and guidance, you can overcome your porn addiction once and for all."

    ya brother this damn porn thing cost me so much that it disturbed how my mind sees a women and how it thinks about women from the lenses of porn and it changed the definition of HER. In a world were men and women are equal we cant let porn win over us.

    @LuckyMan Thank you for posting the Wim Hof video. I watched it and some other videos of his. I had never checked him out, though I had heard of him vaguely. I ran into some more helpful YouTube videos about methods for NoFap recovery, like meditation, cold showers, exercise, et cetera.

    I have also been reading NoFap literature, which encourages us to keep reading rebooting material as well as to do as many other positive things to help recovery and non-fapping lifestyle improvement as possible.

    All this inspires me greatly, and I am energized to keep up the fight today! Yaaa! We will do this!

    “Home is behind, the world ahead,
    and there are many paths to tread
    through shadows to the edge of night,
    until the stars are all alight.”
    ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

    Did you look at what brought on the urge, as well as what your feelings were when the urge set in? You can benefit from insight into what led you into PM, learning from it rather than 'wasting' the relapse.

    @Bhaiplease
