Enough is enough

You've nailed the point.

What most people think is that, the more an addict relapses, the more he learns and the better he gets at fending off the urges.

The harsh truth is that the more you relapse, the less you believe in yourself and your commitment to quit. My best streaks are well in the past, and now I struggle to even get 3 days under my belt.

What people don't tell you is that NoFap has the power to free you, but also the power to accelerate your fall into despair, delusion and self-deprecation. It all depends on how seriously you take this.

I have made the mistake of taking it lightly and it has taken its toll on my confidence.

 

This is exactly what I needed to read right now, as I face and urge to register to an roleplaying website and give myself to masturbation.

Thank you.

 

I love this, thank you for sharing it with the community. One decision. In theory, it should be simple, but because we're all "addicts", the application is the hard part. It's like when someone tells you not to think of a pink elephant.
We need more positive outlets, hobbies, etc...to deal with the urge. All I keep thinking about is today, then the next....
Eventually, we'll be past this. Our confidence soaring and our minds and dicks fully "rebooted". I want nothing more than to make love with the girl I'm with, but if I stay on this disgusting road of despair and self-hatred, that dream will stay just that; a dream. Fuck that. We're all stronger than this!! Get angry. Start to associate Fapping with something evil and disgusting, because in reality it is. We've taken it to a different level and now it's just vile. It's ruined our lives, careers, marriages, etc. My thoughts are with all of you, my brothers and sisters. Much love.

 

You said exactly what I am thinking.
This drug has ruined our lives and it is time we say enough and leave it behind.
I do agree with the other posts that in reality this challenge is all a choice.
Some may believe that it is a lot harder than that, and it can be, but really it all comes does to one choice, and if that choice will benefit you.
One way that helps me sway this decision in a positive direction is think "will my future self thank me for this" of just simply "do things that your future self will thank you for" and it helps me push through.
We can all do this guys, we just have to believe in ourselves and always say no, no matter how tempting it seems, because you will always feel better later on if you say no.
Short-term pleasure vs. long-term pleasure.
Just think about that
Good luck guys and push on!
