Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Freedom is a state of mind, Jul 2, 2017.

  1. I am pretty interested in the mentioned question, lately I've pretty shit days in general, I am super jelous and insecure about my gf, I feel vulnerable to her. I am on day 7, I know it has ups and downs, but I am interested in the long term effect on jelousy and insecurity. If somebody have experience with the topic, please feel free to reply.

    I only get jealous when I feel bad about myself. For me nofap is a peace of many things you need to do, to become a better person, to improve yourself. So yeah, it can help to reduce the insecurities and jealousy when you develp yourself and boost your self-confidence.
     
  3. I got jelous for a pretty long time now while I have a gf, it has been chasing me in the past too. Its because my parents got a divorce when I was young and it shocked me so much to lose my mother and now I am constantly worrying about losing people I love. I am fighting jelousy consciously for maybe 2 years now, but I just dont feel it gets better. I hope nofap can give a boost to it.

    She's still with you? You must be doing something right.

    Probably super obvious stuff coming up:

    That's fear. You're afraid of losing her. Being jealous won't help at all. Easier said that done, like almost all the advice I dole out. How do you deal with death? Do you think about it often? Are you afraid of the day you will die? I think I am more afraid than I think I am about death, but somehow I've managed to put it away. I don't think about it constantly. Someday you may lose her or you may break up with her, but worry about it when it happens.

    I'm not a doctor and can't tell you the benefits of nofap. Maybe it really changes the brain "wiring", maybe not. Maybe it's only placebo. I don't know, but there are a lot of opinions and articles about these. What I did was just give it a try. And yes, it helped me to improve in all kind of areas where I had weakness (e.g. self-discipline, self-doubt, social-anxiety). You can just try it and see the results. I would suggest you to try the monk mode (no pmo)..try it for 21 days and evaluate the results.

  7. Whenever I've expressed jealousy it was always because of some insecurity I've had with myself. These insecurities usually stem from a lack of believing in my own self-worth. As an addict I obviously have self-worth and self-respect issues, since no one who cares about themselves would have allowed addiction to overtake their life.

    So, do I believe NoFap will help? Yes. Simply because in order to complete this challenge and overcome this addiction we will have to learn to truly value and care about ourselves. The more you recognize your own value the less you will care about the opinions of others. I've come to accept that living soberly/happily is the by-product of unfucking the mind.
