    my dad's in his 60s close to the age that my grandmother died. he's has a ton of sicknesses and is taking a ton of medication. one of his doctors told him he's taking so much medication and has so much sicknessess that he may not live long. today he got a stress test and found He has a block in his heart and will need to go to the hospital really soon.

    now what does this have to do with nofap ? my dad is the man of the house. I reley on him and my parents alot even though I'm in my mid twenties. god forbid something were to happen to my dad, he's the person that makes this house run , he's the main income. as I'm getting older and now with my dad's news I'm realizing not that I didn't know but it's hitting me more now with this news of my dad that death is inevitable. I cant afford to relaspe and watch porn and become depressed and hate my life because I need to be the best version of myself because I'm going to need to step up for my family in ways I never had to. i cant afford to relapse for my famlies sake. I'm going to have to become an adult, a man. life is short guys don't let pmo ruin your life. one day your going to leave this earth, don't let addictions ruin your life and prevent you from being the person you were meant to be, and prevent your dreams and wishes from coming true. life goes real fast, days fly by, weeks fly by, months fly bye, soon as you know it your old and and wondering about the regrets and what ifs of life.

    I certainly don't envy you, but I do admire your commitment to your family and to improving yourself. That kind of a life transition time is so complicated. I think it is great the way that you are stepping up. Grief is a difficult process which for you has already begun, as your life dreams have been modified and you are forced into new roles. We will hope and pray that your father has more time than the doctors give him, but, even then, you are on the right path towards a better more responsible life. The next days, weeks and months will not be easy, but, with your new attitude, they will be better.

    the new roles are tough yes because I always felt like a kid not a man the way my parents treat me. but thanks for replying I'm hoping somone will read this post and hopefully be the eye opener they need to get serious about this addiction and start becoming the person they always wanted to be

    I'm sorry for your Loss I'm 26 right now, I cant imagine how hard it must have been. hope your doing well. like with my family we never showed love or affection to one another like families you seen on TV like full house. so its kind of uncomfortable being vulnerable and seeing crying and stuff but I will do my best thanks man

    I see true emotion and determination from your words. I am with you man, I believe in you and you also need to believe in yourself. Cherish every moment with your dad if you can and grind. Your motivation will be your best weapon. Embrace it!

    Thank you for sharing your situation and for your inspiring post. Failing to cope with loss was one of the factors that led me to my own problem. It sounds like you have a lot of inner strength that, at one time in my life, I did not. I feel stronger today than I have in a long time. All the best to you.

    You may have felt like a kid, but you are certainly manning up now. Keep up the good work while on this emotional roller coaster. You are doing it, you can keep doing it. Sorry that you are having to go through this, but it is awesome to see you assuming responsibility. I have laid both my parents to rest, and next, it will be my son's time to do what you're doing. Hopefully it won't be this week; I have to get to 90 days next Monday.
