video games

Hi everyone. I’m 70 days completely free of PMO. I have experienced intense withdrawal symptoms in the form of consistent P flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. It’s distressing but I haven’t even been close to a relapse. What I need help with is that I am currently unemployed due to a health...

Hi there, Has anyone successfully rebooted (or in the process of rebooting) and played video games during? Was just wondering if playing video games hindered anyone’s progress or led to relapses? If you did play video games did you play them regularly? Thanks for the help rebooters!

Day 90 - Success Story! Even with Anime Video Games! :emoji_video_game: This streak was different, in that I was playing anime video games. Some say this is like playing with fire, or a porn substitute. So, I had to change my mindset as not to get easily triggered. I tried treating the NPC...

Gaming and porn (though night and day when it comes to the damage they do to your brain) have similarities. Novelty, fast rewards, ever-increasing challenges that move in lock-step with the size of the rewards are some of them. I have observed two schools of thought. One is that gaming is...

The first video game console I ever played was, I believe, a GameBoy. I played the PS1, PS2, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360 and on the PC when I was little. I remember games like: Fighting Force Halo 3 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Fable: The Lost Chapters Warcraft 3: Reign of...

It starts with waking up, eating, & playing games all day. It ends with playing games then going to bed. With Nofap you need to know something, Like me you've gone down a dark path. You may think that Video Games is your Lantern for getting through this path, but really it's just something...

I got Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which I am enjoying a lot. You guys get any new games you like?

Because Genesis STILL does what nintendon't. This place is meant to be for those who still have that golden shiny 16-BIT logo in their hearts. The focus is on the Mega Drive/Genesis as the quintessence of the 16-bit generation. The focus is on love.

Hi, I have been unable to read, or concentrate on a subject, an article, a book, for more than say 15 minutes. I have been on one to five days streak, no more, and it has been very difficult to just focus. I don't do any sport since end of October, I don't eat a lot and I've stopped video games...

So personally one of my favorite video games is Assassin's Creed! I am currently playing Odyssey and trying to finish it up before Valhalla comes out. Any other Assassin's Creed players? Anybody excited for Valhalla? Just curious! :)

You may complete it in the first try. It may take you 5 tries. It may take 200 or even 1000 tries! But we must keep going because the only way to beat the level is to try over and over again. Some will get tired of trying and just give up. But even if you do quit, you will likely come back and...

Hey all, anonymous newbie here. This intro might seem long and meandering. Despite the pain and the joys in this story it is far from a complete telling of my life's tribulations. Not asking for any pity at all; I just needed some perspective even if that was me simply typing something out for...

Today i'm the happiest person on the planet ! I did a 15 day streak of no tobacco :emoji_grin:(cigarettes and snuff), i've started tobacco and porn addiction 8 years ago. The reason why i'm posting this on NoFap is I've found that the advice and information here is pretty useful and helpful...

Hello everyone! Anyone into 3D or 2D fighting games? (Tekken, Street Fighter, Smash) lets talk frame data, tiers and such hahaha Lets take some inspiration to fight the PMO

Basically, I am 21, currently unemployed and live with my parents. The only outlet I have currently is video games. I am genuinely concerned if I might have to give video games up, it really isn't much of an option because it is the only possible way that can keep me occupied so I don't PMO.

Hey I'm here making good progress in understanding my triggers and shortcomings but I'm having a hard time finding what to fill my time with. After many attempts at quitting PM I realized that my huge consumption of video games literally every day was a long term dopamine high and escapism for...

Struggled with nofap for a long time could never get past a week. Although the main goal of nofap to me is to improve my life I feel like taking other positive steps alongside it is too hard (stepping outside of comfort zone, working on anxiety, finding more active/social hobbies). Thinking...

Funny. Had been a video game addict. Was actually not that bad in strategy games, even thought would make it into E-Sports somehow, years ago. Wasted time.

I started to realize that video games are a bad hobby and are actually a symptom for having no other problems or procrastinating your real problems. I stopped them for good, i started to play them if i feel too lonely. So i just do a walk instead of play a game. At night yesterday i still felt...

Hello everybody, I'm 16, I study a lot and do a lot of gym. To get the time i need to both study and go to the gym, and sometimes hang out with people, i completely sacrificed all the hours (they were a lot) I used to spend on the pc playing games. Now, it would not be an issue but it seems...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, call me Georgwell. Just want to say hi and to welcome myself on board. I always wanted to stop drinking alcohol, to stop eating fast-food and sugar-staff and I made it! I was always looking for excuses, but I recognised, that all those excuses were proof of my...

I've wondered about whether or not nudity in video games and movies has the same affect on the brain as P has? I understand that it could possibly be a trigger to some people and spark the urge to engage in PMO but I was wondering whether or not you consider seeing nudity in video games and...

Well, i was the very lethargic, procrastinating and often blame other or the situation and cirumstances around me... also got banged up by many different kind of pain, struggles and challenges... i had PMO addictions, binge eating now everything goes fine, even done 65 DAYS OF SUCCESSFUL NO...

Today I played Video Games. I didnt Play many years, No interest. So I wondered is IT cause I dont masturbate that Video Games become interesting? Is PMO therefore also "a Game", distraction, against boredom? Another Hobby AS usual? IT seems tit for Tat. What does that mean? And for what...

We all know that fapping away and watching porn gives us that rush and relief. It strengthens our lazy, give me something for nothing side by training our brains to crave dopamine for little or no effort and leads to low moods and lack of motivation. I also notice other things, like junk food...

Dear my friends, I want to ask about the effect of playing video games and wonder if someone in the community can answer these questions. Is playing game consider an addiction? Does it create dopamine effect, same as porn? One of my friends plays video games for around 7-10 hours in one...

I spend a lot of time playing video games in the computer since i was 12 years, before that i was super social n shit, the thing begin when i move on from my city (that i had a lot of friends), so I felt very alone and starts to spend all my day in my room in the computer, like a escapism from...

I need the perspective of others in this topic, as it's a difficult one for me. I'm at a crossroads in my life. I have potential now to achieve everything I ever wanted. But Something is in my way. My reboot is going great, but I have hard decisions to make. The first of which being what to do...

I am 30 years old, and I think I'm suffering from PIED (Porn induced erectile dysfuction). Can get hard while I'm watching porn, but couldn't when I tried to have sex, and couldn't even fantasize effectively. So I turned to NoFap and have been going somewhat strong for 20 odd days now...

Well the first thing to do which has worked 90% of the time was to install a software called K9 Web Protection and create a long password very long.Write it on a paper and go to k9 settings and type the password you have on your paper and set blocked categories like if you wanna select "Mature"...

Hey everyone, So I really want to play Hellblade, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if the nudity rating is for sexual nudity or dead corpses and stuff. I've read that there are people hanging from a tree that are nude. But I don't fancy tortured people as something that wil turn me on...

Hey everyone! Perhaps not all of you know this, but there is a way to blacklist certain tags on Steam so that certain video games become less likely to appear on your store page. I only just discovered this yesterday so I thought I'd share it, especially considering Alexander's recent post...

Okay guys, time for a little story which I think is very important. So listen up! Yesterday morning after waking up I stayed laying in bed, grabbed my tablet, opened up the browser and went on to DeviantArt and started browsing for images of one my favorite video game characters, Kasumi from...

So, I've just graduated and now I have time on my hands. I am on day 170ish with no pm, and was wondering if video games are harmful. I've seen many posts about how video games are an addiction, and before I start playing again, I want to make sure that it is safe. Just want opinions.

I think i gonna have a wet dream about 2b

Hey, so I thought I'd make this thread to get your opinion. First things first. I have relapsed after getting urges by looking at characters in games (Female characters tend to be made to look sexy, it's very common) So I just got a new game and there are many sexy costumes and such, but I...
