Hi there & cheers to all the fapstronauts! After a successful streak of 155 days and starting relationships with very sweet & supportive, almost the girl of my dreams I am still here & still planning to do a next nofap run. Because I am still vulnerable. I have cancelled the usage of porn but damn, I got into Instagram. And it's even worse. Search suggestions are full of triggers. It's basically the same but soft-core porn void. Even more you have this "virtual opportunity" to contact anyone. And yeah, all I want is to be friendly and talk. But no! All my good intentions receive no reply. Straight into the void. All I get is only frustration. You know, it's like a curse or a doom: all you can is to like my picture, all you see is just virtually for you. But never for real. No release, no communication. Yes, you can pay. But still be ready for frustration. I am sorry, my bad, at this moment I am already enough poor. It's like a never-ending losing game. I try to set timers and use as less as possible Insta but still. It's like a ball you pump. One day or another it will either blow or has to be released. The trouble gap is one month. Last time I lost the sleep. This time I relapsed on the 26th day. I am the most vulnerable during the Full Moon. Have you ever noticed such dependency? It's considered that male energy is solar and feminine is lunar. I am by myself more lunar man, which is quite oxymoronic but still. CAN ANYONE TALK TO ME & HELP TO MANAGE THIS THING? I dedicate this nofap to getting the job and initiating a financial independence. I want to do at least 100 days till 8th February 2021. Amen. Godspeed me.
Yes I am vulnerable on full moons too, many of my relapses have happened around this time. It’s like I go sexually crazy, it’s nice to meet someone else who has a similar problem
Thanks, Steppingintotheunknown! I am also glad I am not alone! Have you ever had any suggestions why is it so?
I think it may have something to do with the magnetism that builds up inside us when we retain our semen and the moons magnetic pull... but I’m not sure.
Great job on the 155 days. I was having the same issues with social media so took the drastic step of deleting all of my accounts. Best thing I did as it doesn’t just help with the temptation but it also makes you more productive and less worried about what others are doing.
Yeah, reasonable idea. Because I thought IG can be a productive tool for self promoting. Also, you know, it's like a net and I was expecting to get some "fish" inside it. You know, imaginary one day, at a certain time someone will write you and tell, "dude, you're awesome, keep working". it's also about sharing my point of view via creativity
I agree that deleting IG is the way to solve this. Its just banal self-promotion and pixelated 'prefect' snap shots. Delete it for a month and note how your automatically look for the app. And then you forget and don't miss it all.
