Is this a good reason for stopping PMO?

This is my reason for stopping PMO. Everything he described in this video is why I want to stop.

 

I think the goal of being happier and having more joy in life is great, so yes it sounds like u have a good reason. The best reason is the one that u truly believe makes the journey worth it.

 

You know the answer already man, go for it.

 

Easy.

Because it makes me feel things.
It gives me back my emotions.
It strengthens my focus tenfold.
It drastically increases my motivation for pretty much everything in life.
It lifts my entire energy level to new heights.
It makes my entire mindset so much more positive and life-loving.
It makes me feel on FIRE and in charge of my life.

I had a few "tests" over the past few months and years and the difference in all of these things is day and night.
And it now serves as my motivation to keep on track.

Other than that, I haven't really noticed any "benefits". But then again, I am in a pretty solid place, PMO or not.

 

Those sound like some pretty amazing benefits man.

 

I completely recognise what you are saying here. I’ve just had a huge relapse having had some of the best times on Nofap. The difference in how I feel is stark !!!! Everything is grey, everything feels harder, I feel depressed. I’m gutted that I fell. I know the next few days are going to be a struggle and that alone can be enough to make you relapse further.
I don’t want to be in that viscous cycle anymore so I am going to have to make the effort to scrabble my way out. I think this is why people struggle. When you are at your lowest , your weakest, you have to make the most effort and it’s daunting. The effects on mental health , your self worth , how you view/feel about yourself. All bad. What I have done, imagined and seen , it’s all there in my head and I can’t escape that. It’s hell at times. That is why I have to stop. Imagine being in your death bed and reviewing life. Just imagine that !!!
Peace , love and strength to you all

 

Oh, they are! My last sentence shouldn't make it sound like they are trivial benefits.

Nofap raises the floor and lifts the ceiling for my entire life.

 

That is a very good point. I have come a long way but no where near far enough. I have developed some very healthy habits that really do help But like many there are times when I think I have got this and there are times when I think I don’t stand a chance. I exercise regularly, in a good long distance runner, I’ve taken up drawing and photography and seem to have an eye for both and they have sparked a creativity in me that I never knew I had. I practice some breathing exercises and meditation and also I am a big fan of cold showers. No actual written plan. I need to do that. Physically writing it down is beneficial, I remember reading something about this. It cements it in the mind far more than just making a mental note.
