Why Only a Very Select Few Will Beat This Addiction

This is what I was thinking of indeed, so much of life is struggle in one way or the other. This is why I feel like to much people ascribe to much too pmo. They are addictedbut, for me especially, I feel that pmo is the kind of addiction that messes with your abbility to solve your problems (big and small) head on and anticipate those situations. I took pmo away, and im still only on 35 days, and I feel way more levelheaded, and can deal with the little stuff without problem. Offcourse I agree, im not at once problem free, and instantly cured from the stuff years of pmo brought me, take indeed takes some time. And cockiness is a danger we all should be aware off. But even after 35 days, the heavy feeling of some issues is gone and I can dicern wich of my problems are real and wich are related too the mental state I was in 35 days ago.

Those Inner Demons will be there no matter what I think, recognizing them for what they are is more important than doing away with them. Maybe its different for me because ive been busy recognizing my demons for a while now.. so I agree it takes time. But those demons dont come only from pmo, and acknowledging that takes the power away from pmo. In your statement ''many have been stuck deep in this addiction for nearly a decade'' I see you giving pmo this power. I mean no offense or insult. I guess what Im trying to say is that I think Aceepting all of yourself and even the parts that pmo brough maybe gives you a much cleare image off what you want to keep and what you want to do away with. forgiveness is a big part this aswell I feel and many here are only battling their demons or their urges, while it so important to ''including'' instead of only ''separating with''

offcourse feel the freedom to disagree as this maybe sounds somewhat woolly and there are many roads to take.

 

I think people think that it sounds like the experienced fapstronaughts are struggling because they talk a lot about "having to deal with problems head on instead of fapping", that doesn't sound very appealing or easy to most people and it's human nature to find the easiest way possible to do things. I understand that having to face problems and overcoming a really strong addiction like PMO will make you a much stronger person but most don't see it that way. They want a reward at the end of their reboot and when they get to 90 days or above and they don't receive that reward, they relapse because it feels like it's not worth it. The reward for NoFap is becoming a stronger person, that's all. From that, they have to use their improved strength and motivation to work on other problems in their life.

 

I believe the main benefits of NoFap are physical changes such as improved erection quality, easier to get it up, recovery from PIED but as far as life problems like dating, making friends, social anxiety, depression. They're all going to require extra effort and work in those individual areas. If the addict deals with their own problems then their life will come together in the end and they will find themselves far more happier but if they just practice NoFap and don't focus on other areas then they may find it more difficult to abstain and if they do manage to abstain then these problems will still exist in 1, 2 even 5 years of abstinence. Life is difficult people and it requires effort to reach your goals and be the person you want to be, NoFap alone isn't going to cut it but it's a start.

 

Who has accepted porn and masturbation? cause I certainly haven't otherwise I wouldn't be abstaining from it.

 

Perfectly quoted.
