    I just read this post and wanted to share it with you guys.

    TIFU my whole life. My regrets as a 46 year old, and advice to others at a crossroad

    It touched me because recently a few members discussed a very related topic: how abstinence is not recovery and we should focus on our new life, not so much on what not to do (PMO). I also discussed the issue in my journal if anyone's interested.

    It's nothing related to PMO, but this addiction can easily drag us into a downward spiral, so I think it's very relevant.

    This post is depressing as hell man. I trully feel him. Today's going to be a bad day, lol. But it teaches us an important life lesson, one of those lessons you won't learn at the university or in a business school.

    I just want to talk about what you said in your post :

    I repeat this everyday : I think it should be written EVERYWHERE on Nofap, Yourbrainonporn and so... Of course we have to fight the PMO addiction... But more important is to build a new life. Of course some people don't think there is anything wrong besides the PMO addiction in their life, but if you searched for "am I addicted to porn" or something else in Google ending up discovering YBOP and Nofap.org, chances are that there is something wrong, sorry.
    And we have to focus on doing what we want to do. It's explained very well here but I can see you already know that.

    Thank you for sharing this post, so sad but nice to read things like this sometimes.

    btw what does TIFU means ?

    Also there's something else I'd like to discuss about but I don't know if it's the right thread...
    Have you noticed how a lot of people seem to fall into a boring/depressive life once they reach 20 or 30 ? Like once you're older than 20 you instantly become ugly, boring, only interested in money, ...I mean take a look at the reddit page :

    Is someone wants to discuss about this I guess we can do it here or via PM

    It seems TIFU means Today I Fucked Up :) I didn't know it either.

    I know it's sad and not directly related to NoFap but it's very important for the reasons we said. I also recommend that post you linked to. I already kinda knew that, but reading it makes you way more conscious of the true goal here.

    We see the great videos on YBOP and what not, and think that by no-PMOing our life will magically turn over its head and will cross through the door of love, fun and hot girls dancing around.

    Well, it's harsh but we better realize how it really works.

    Whether we like it or not, for most of us, porn addiction screwed us up in some way. To some people more, to some people less. But it did.

    It's LIFE --> NoFAP, not the other way around.

    Yea man I hear you. You're getting all this mindset at 22, good for you.

    I'm 29 and there are some things I don't regret at all, I learned a lot and had really great experiences. But I've also screwed up real bad in some other ways during this decade.
