Explain What Giving Up Porn Means to You (daily)

The idea of this tread is to post a daily message from the heart outlining what it means to you to give up porn, so that you never forget and keep building on what it means to you and as as a result you keep building a steady and increasing source of motivation or drive for sucesss

Ever wonder why the quote "remember why you started" is so popular in nofap, its bceause it gives you motivation by reminding you what it means for you to give up porn, when we are truely aware of what it means to us we have a higher unstanding of why we actually should do this and in turn that makes us want it more because you really know what you are getting, i feel like we all are unaware of what we are actually about to loose so we fap and recieve no consequence, oblivious to the future that we just destroyed

 

The biggest thing for me that giving up porn will do, is fix my perverted thoughts because that really fucks up my relationships and concertration, it leads to shallow relatioships and causes learning problems, all while making me come off as an idiot or a creep.

• so giving up porn will improve my realtioships drastically, and thus improve my mental health and life.

indulging in porn can make me neglect my family, friends, girlfriends, because im giving my time to something else and it drains me of energy, energy that i should be giving to them and when it comes to a girlfriend it only makes things worse as the sex gets less appealing because porn has made your standards unrealistic to get off

• so giving up porn will make me a more reliable family member, friend, and boyfriend, to the people that matter to me.

Today i think i really needed to remind myself of my goals.

• means waking up in a clean bed, with a sence of respect and better esteem each day.

I used to be terrified at the idea of not masturbating for more than a single day... Quitting P and M to me means regaining control of my own thoughts and body.

 

To me quitting porn means regaining my innocence and my manhood, and to become closer to God and not have to sin against him anymore.

 

I'm not going to lie porn has giving me baggage, baggage that stops me from even starting a relationship with woman, you know, why bother trying trying to build something with a crappy foundation, and why would anyone stick around for that

• means shredding my porn induced baggage and thus opening doors that need to be opened

Giving up porn. What it meant to me? Well... to be honest. It felt like I am cured from a disease which forced me to do something I didn't want
to do. But with all diseases and recoveries you don't feel like a big burden is gone. More like... a step forward. A real step forward.
Maybe because I was very close to that point of change so many times.

It's just a step. You were already very close to the point so it's not like from 0 to 100 change of feelings.

 

Your value changes

• You become a better person in society

Very good thread idea!

I won't post daily cuz I journal but I'll post one post.

Also the only thing you are giving up when quitting pm is giving up some shots of dopamine, that's about it.

I quit pm because it's such a low quality activity to do compared to real social interaction. Pm leads you on a path to an extremely terrible life filled with regret. It screws you up bad so that your social interaction is unnatural and terrible, especially with women. It makes you pass by your dream girl, or if you are already married, it screws up your relationship because of ED, desensitization, and when your wife finds out she will be rightfully pissed and terribly sad. It makes you waste your potential by sapping your motivation and energy, causing you to waste youth, especially your 20s. It makes you feel more empty than you already are. At worst, the regret builds up so bad that you kill yourself.
Quitting pm also means you don't pleasure yourself to depressed, even literal trafficked women (sites like phub have had many instances where traffickers upload videos of trafficked people and many never get taken down).
It also means being a chad by overcoming your desires to gain everything. You gain more energy, motivation, enjoyment, testosterone, and so much more.
It is the first step to cleaning up your life and living real.
It means doing something with your life so you give back from the much that has been given to you. It means not wasting your vast potential. It means making an impact in the world.
It means getting in touch with your conscience, and living the life you really want to live.
It means you stop putting women on a pedestal so they have so much power over you, such that you can't resist pleasing yourself to them.
It means you be a man and live real.
