mindful

I am broke. Right now I am unable to see any therapist or take any professional help. But what I can do is to teach myself the therapy itself. I will write down all the techniques I have learnt and share resources. I will use this journal as a thought diary as well.

Hi, I know many nofappers mention that meditation has supported them in quitting. I've heard wild stories of how people who fapped 3-5 times a day for 7 years now only have "O" a few times a year. Want I am curious about is they type of meditation that you do and how exactly it helps you with...

Just one quick observation, I'd like to share with you today. As you probably all know addict's own mind really does wanna trick him/her into relapsing to get the feel good chemicals fix it's used to. BUT even when PMOing is off the table, the game doesn't end there. I realized just how...
