Let's write down 1000 positive things about quiting porn addiction! These things can be general, specific, simple, complicated, personal, wierd, abstract, they can derivative from other benefits etc. Let them be true. Of course everything can be true if you feel that it is. Say from your experience. I bet there is more than 1000. It should be easy. I'll start: #1 You are 1000 times happier! #2 You have balanced emotions. #3 Your mom is proud of you. #4 Cheese tastes better.
Alright, why not? #5 More time on your hands #6 More energy #7 No brain fog #8 More interest in cooking (for me anyway )
Joining for the fun of it and truthfulness. #9 More confidence #10 Better eye contact #11 Dreams appear more vivid #12 More Attraction from the opposite sex.
#13 Fewer viruses or other questionable programs on your computer. #14 Less reason to fear somebody discovering the contents of your computer. #15 Better concentration and focus. #16 Better sleep.
#17 Feeling you can overcome any obstacle #18 ED gone #19 Muscles grow and stay maintained (if you exercise) #20 Not objectifying women
#26 You spend less less time on computer > you use less power > we dont need as much coal for electric plants > you are saving the planet earth #27 Thicker beard ( mental beard and the real one )
#28 - better spiritual life #29 - no cleanup #30 - you don't feel like you are hiding something from everyone
#31 - Spend less money on toilet tissue > so save a bit of money. #32 - use less > so saving the trees, which is good for the planet.
#33 - You are not supporting the abuse of women, and sex trafficking. #34 - (For me) My body odour became repugnant after excessive viewing. #35 - You stop being a statistic #36 - You are a role model for other men #37 - You get to be different/unique as most guys do watch porn.
#38 - You're able to pick up on social cues easier, making social interactions go by smoother. #39 - Similarly you're able to notice indicators of interest from people who are attracted to you. #40 - ...And on a similar note, you become more magnetic and attractive to others. The chick magnet effect of NoFap is real guis. Srsly. #41 - Your willpower increases dramatically as you're learning to resist instant gratification.
#43 if your wife sees your progress (including increased connection) she isn't crabby wife all the time. #44 Your wife can't get enough of you. If you know what I mean. (For me anyway.) #45 you forget less stuff at work in your mentally challenging job (for my husband)
46. Your brain is no longer dependent on the dopamine release, meaning you beat an addiction 47. More time for other activities like reading or watching movies 48. Person is more easily able to stay focused 49. Because your body doesn't have to use sugars and energy on ejaculation, you become more energized 50. Your balls grow in size a bit (Not too much)
#51 Overcoming porn addiction entails other major life changing habits. Your little personal insoluble snow ball effect. #52 It's an interesting and exciting journey. I can't wait to get to know how im gonna feel after for example one year of being clean. #53 You learn to face reality and nature of change. #54 You became more educated by it. You read how to overcome this, what are causes, how your brain works etc.
#55 You clean your room even though you don't want. #56 You never come late. #57 You have everything done on time.
#58 you look up and see the world, not the pixels. #59 you stop objectifying women. #60 women will find you more attractive.
This is an AWESOME thread mate! cheers to you! @zielnik #61 Improved self-esteem #62 thicker facial hairs #63 Able to look into eyes of your mother and sister, clear conscience. #64 Reduced acnes #65 Better memory
#66 Imagination exaltate! (this is one of my favourites ) #67 Articulation improved. #68 Your immune system is stronger. For me it's true. I had loong colds, but since i fight PMO they last for 3-4 days. I think it's related with more energy. #69 Positiveness radiates from you. And it's real, pure, benevolent... #70 ...and you attract positiveness to yourself. #71 Become less selfish. You are willing to help people. #72 Feel good around people. #73 Become more conscious. #74 Start to feel the power of love that surrounds you. "'And what would humans be without love?’ RARE, said Death." - T. P. #75 You learn that life has much more to offer than you previously thought! #76 Can witness things in life that were previously invisible to you. Metaphorically. You don't get x-ray vision. Or i'm not there just yet. #77 You can feel cosmic enegy. You learn to accept true nature of the universe. #78 You are less annoyed with things that were unbearable before. #79 Learn how to handle bad emotions. #80 You are interested in studying... #81 ...and you are good at it. #82 Less worried. Much of this phenomenons is not directly related with quitting porn addiction, but they are derivatives from it. Just because it's so long and difficult process. They are as important as direct ones, or maybe even more meaningful. Many people don't seem to understand that. If someone tells you that "it's not going to happen just because you quit porn" LAUGH AT HIM, he don't know shit! LET'S GO 1000! "Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." - Terry Pratchett
