    I started using Nofap about a month ago and I' progressing in my goals to stop P and M. I have also been using herbal remedies for about 2 years for various purposes from athletics, to sleeping, to illness and allergies. I don't know how many people here are into natural medicine but I know some different plants and herbs that could help some people overcome their addictions. Here's a few and why I like them (none of these are narcotics)...

    Reishi mushroom: I use this for stress relief. It makes great tea, and always calms me down. It's also called an "adaptogen" meaning it has properties which help the body adapt to various bodily changes. There is also the mystical aspect of this herb, in that the Taoists believed that it helped one fulfill their life purpose.

    Licorice root: This herb looks like a wooden licorice stick. It's sweet and it's in almost every herbal tea made because it makes any blend of herbs better. However, it is also good at regulating the adrenal glands. This will help your energy levels stabilize especially if you have a whacky sleep schedule. It's also great for calming sexual energy.

    Ashwaganda: I use this for mostly athletic purposes, but it is also said to be a great "adaptogen", helping the body cope with change and stress. Most people take this in capsule form, but I also buy the root and make tea with it.

    Here are a few other products I like...

    Dr. Edward Back Gentian Amarella flower remedy: This is one of the first herbal products I've used that creates a noticeable, quick and stable calm immediately after I take it. I also take this in combination with reishi muchsroom extract and it is a seriously strong peaceful sensation. Not like a euphoria kind of peace, but it's the feeling like waking up on a Saturday morning with no plans and nowhere to rush off to. Not a care in the world, sort of.

    Christopher's Adrenal formula: This is the best of the best for recovering from adrenal fatigue. If you have high anxiety, insomnia, hypertension, an irregular sleep schedule, or are a heavy caffeine user, this is great to overcome any and all of those. And it's one of the cheapest herbal formulas you can buy. All of Christopher's herbal formulas are great and fairly priced.

    Everybody is different so you may or may not have the same response to them. I am also not suggesting any of these herbs and formulas are cures for addiction, but in my own experience they have helped quite a bit.
