    The "real" approach: Technique for resisting temptation

    I would like to share with you an interesting observation about porn addiction. It is possible that it has already been mentioned on the forum, but I still feel like it is worth telling with the hope that it may help someone. Porn addiction is, in my opinion, a very "mental" thing. What I mean...

    [6+ Years NoFap Veteran] The reason why you need to change your mindset in first place

    I spent a few weeks without accessing NoFap Forum, however, all this time I was studying content to help every NoFap member. Today, I will talk about a book I finished recently and I was surprised about how much good information it brings about how to build a good future and how to not be...

    Does it go away?

    I'm aware that PMO generally feeds a mindset very sex-focused and I feel like I've adopted one. I don't like it, it's always felt wrong but also difficult to get rid of. Can anyone who's beat the addiction attest to overly sexual thoughts going away after a while? After about two weeks clean, I...

    The Ultimate Urge Killer Mindset

    Guys, I think I figured it out. I've been having some new urges recently after a breakup (I'm on 400+ days NoFap), but I came out of it with a killer mindset. Whenever you have an urge to do P.M.O. (Porn, Masturbation, Orgasm), ask yourself, WHY would I do it, if it will ultimately: 1. Keep...

    Stop Being A Victim

    My biggest breakthrough in my self-improvement journey came when I no longer lived as a victim. I used to believe that I had no control over my life. I didn't feel like I had a choice. What I've now learnt is... I CHOSE to be in a relationship that didn't allow me to develop. I CHOSE to...

    Why I am not willing or putting effort to do Nofap?

    14 years of addiction, 7 years of nofap trial and error. I tried many different techniques, such as surge surfing, not counting days, meditation, exercise, changing my environment, planning my day, keeping myself busy, and changing my mindset. But nothing ever worked. Today, I learned the bitter...

    The best video on sexual transmutation

    Just found this today and it's really the best I've seen! Doing these breathing exercises and following the advice would help. Haven't meditated in several months so this reminded me to get back on it. Relapsed yesterday and put filters on all browsers today.

    Day 1 - Hard Mode, advice from long-time fapstronauts

    Holy fuck, y'all. I haven't been here in over a year, but I didn't go all in like I could have. During that time, I justified any/every use of PMO I could think of - and my addiction spiraled out of control. Again. I felt miserable, slimy, and worthless, yet I exponentially craved more dopamine...

    Interesting Article on Approaching

    Found this blog on approaching women. Interesting read but it's from 2010. Key takeaways I got: - Good mindset and energy are necessary before even trying to approach. I'm guilty of this. Approaching women when I wasn't happy with my life and was just lonely. Seemed to make it worse. And...

    HOW TO BE A CHAMPION , A FUCKING CHAMPION!!!

    So you all are addicted to porn like me? Of course you are , why would you even sign up on Nofap then. What happens when you are addicted to PMO? 1. You waste your valuable time ( yes you do ) 2. You mostly sit at home and usually don't like much people around you. 3. You are a loser at life...

    Mind set

    For some reason whenever I’m on vacation or just at a hotel. I have streaks that last up to 10-12 days. After a while I am more alone so I fall back into my steps of resetting and relapsing.

    Ohh oh incel when will you change?

    The incel mindset is a plague, a loser and negative man who wants to drag down anybody who comes close to him. Nofap is full of them avoid them run away from them. They will drag you down. Only when they decide to stop feeling pity about themselves and actually do something to change there is...

    What have you learned through your journey! (here is mien so far)

    For me what i have learned so far: (you may not agree with me but i would love to know your opinion!) It's a journey of mindset programing and it have no end. If you stopped improving yourself and your character you will slip away. If you give up, you will get to a worse point, so keep on...

    Don't Look Back / Don't Dwell

    Hey guys, this is a short one. Recently, I've been having relapses that were different from previous relapses. Long story short, I get into a weird dissociative headspace and it's like I'm watching myself while being myself (if that makes any sense). This led me to do some thinking and I came...

    Be kind to yourself.

    This is so fucking important and I have failed so many times because I didn't treat myself well. Our addiction isn't shameful, it's not something to hide or feel bad about. This will only hinder your progress and make you withdraw yourself from other people. I recently started seeing a therapist...

    Your Mind: Best Friend or Worst Enemy

I have always thought those thought are your subconscious mind try to communicate with your conscious mind. This is not scientifically proven of course, just my opinion. Your mind...

    My realization about porn

    2019 turned out to be a huge step forward for me. I developed myself physically and mentally by forming new good habits like working out, reading, meditating and journaling.

    Avoiding trigger to all cost mindset

    What do you think of "Avoiding trigger to all cost" ? Avoiding triggers to me is like saying "I'm not completely sure I want to quit yet. I better take some precautions because I don't trust myself"

    Alone time is a problem

    I observed something that really needs your advice. Over the past few months I fought this addiction and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I went from a guy who PMOed at least once a day to one that can go weeks without it. But today i relapsed, and it made me think why. If I think about...

    Amazing New Mindset

    I found a new mindset to overcome my PMO addiction dude. It is surprisingly interesting. It is all about focus. Focus on building the new you not on fighting the old. Don't focus on ''I will never PMO/relapse again'' If you keep that mindset you will eventually relapse. Here is a video that...

    The Best Easiest Journalling Method - “Battles”!

    While you abstain from PMO, getting rid of thoughts that trigger your urges will help in a faster recovery and make things easier. This is what I do, as soon as a thought comes or as soon as I want to day dream about things, I just stop the thought from going out of hand e.g. the first 2...

    Nofap Counter is bad.

    The bedrock is the mindset

    I believe in out of sight out of mind approach to NoFap. It means no resistance, but utter ignorance. The amount of success you get with this approach depends to extent of solid block of useless triggers. Useless triggers is defined as sexual content of any sort that doesn’t contribute to you...
