Gold post from a guy on 1000+ days nofap- Picture Yourself One Year From Now

Good motivation/inspiration!

 

Im beyond day 180... its usually around this mark, when I feel my consciousness shifts one octave higher than everyone around here. Its 3rd time I witness this in my life, so I can say with certainty that this is the reality of hard mode for me. It requires a compassion, dealing with others. Compassion, because otherwise it can instill feelings of sadness in me, seeing em in their state of mind and life.

 

This is very inspiring. While my goal isn’t to retain, I am determined to never look at porn again. Ever. I won’t.

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for sharing. Did the exercise and felt good after it. I will repeat it at least weekly. Freedom is coming and, partly, already here.

 

I wonder how much truth is in this saying?

If I tell somebody who deadlifts 70kg and dreams about 250 'see yourself in one year lifting 250 make it real...he would be set for failure' ..and if I say to the pregnant woman to see herself to have a healthy delivery on her 3rd month to get over it fast do you think it will work? The time from a to b is not always standard,especially as it concerns changes in mind and character and it takes what it takes which can be as short as several weeks or as long as decades, with possible spells of sadness and hope as you walk your path. I think it depends on your dedication to get there.Or in other words-If you make it your most important priority you will get to b in the shortest time you can, but if you only dabble putting occasional effort from time to time you may not get to see you dream alive in this lifetime.

 

If someone told you the answer, they would not know...

 

They might if they were told and not experienced and seen it in countless experiences of others and themselves, for reading and hearing of something we never experienced before are as far from experience as robot from human being.

 

Hi, dear Fapstronaut. I had a few questions. I just had a 120days hardmode streak(with no peaking, fantasy, thoughts) and then had a binge relapse of around 15 days. Now I am back(day 4), I am feeling really depressed. I endured a severe flatline from day 45 onwards and was just coming out and seeing amazing benefits that this relapse happened.
I have read your other posts and your profile and I found it interesting as you have said that you have done big streaks (100+ days) multiple times.
How did you stop the regret after relapsing from such big streaks and starting over again. It's killing me. Plz help
Also what is your age, I am 29 (nearing 30).

 

Hi!
Im 39. How to stop the regret after ending your streak after 200 or 300 days?

You cant.

You go thru that immense shitfest day by day. Week by week. Usually by day 10 to 14, you get out of the worse. After month u feel ok. Than it gets slowly better and better, and u tend to forget how bad u felt and how different life in now, months later..

Thats how it was for me, always.

The realizations u make during these times are as important as the streaks tho! Thru pain we learn. Next time u at these levels, u will remember and realize, what the trade is. 30 seconds bliss exchanged for a achievement u worked on for 100s of days. Weeks of suffering... and another half a year or more to get back "there"

Im standing for my 3rd time here, at the major streak. I cant tell u what will happen here, thats the scary part... but I know the past experiences are here with me, so...

 

Thanks for the reply...You are right about the timeline it does gets better(bearable) after 10-15days.

What about the protracted lengthy flatline that comes around 6-8 weeks. Does it better with subsequent streaks or do we have to endure the same? I am shit scared of that also though its not long but its so real i was not able to get up before 8-9 hours of sleep.

Did you start with new streak immediately of did you face chaser. I somehow cannot get back into that mindset since I have relapsed and have gotten into a relapse cycle. I think 1st month the urges are much higher and then flatline is easier (as far as urges are concerned).

 

Good reply!

 

Huh?

 

How do you know?

 

This streak after 5 years of various streaks, I did not have a flatline at all. Previously, around 40 days, I got flatline always. It did not feel scary to me at all. It was great, no urges, just smooth sailing to a long streaks.. This current half a year streak is the hardest ever... no flatline, big urges to get woman, feelings of huge desire which made me feel pathetic and weak. It was a big learning experience. I conquered it, found the truth. Desires cause suffering and make u weak. Getting rid of it sets u free and makes u strong AF.

Anyway.

I did not succumb to chaser effect last 3 years. Maybe at the start in 2017 and 2018. 2021 I experimented with O with woman. Had like 10 Os a year, it was disaster. This year Im in hardmode every day. It started luke a week before christmas 2021. There I had one shitty O with a girl which ditched me days after, when I told her about my life. Like the family issues I endured as a kid, my father beating my older bro, divorce.. all the hardships. She cried. Than ditched me like a hot potato. That just kind of summed it up for me...
