In spite of all my tricks, it is still difficult

Determined_to_Succeed · Mar 13, 2018

I know a lot of things about this pa, and things about how to deal with it effectively. It is still difficult. Times when I would have probably m'ed and/or viewed p, the urge is in the background. Sometimes not so much in the background. At times, I want to go ahead with it.
There is enough of the desire to walk a different path that it isn't going to happen (the p and m), but that doesn't make it less difficult.
I am not going to bitch, saying "will it never end?" because I know damn well how much time and effort I put into the p and m life. That doesn't just go away. So I will keep on keeping on. For me, it truly feels like my life depends on it. I cannot go back to being that person that hides in my fantasies and withdraws from the world. I won't do that for an apparent short term gain. I am taking the long view. I want to live.

"I am taking the long view. I want to live."

Great advice looks like 'Success' is in your sights. Here's some tips you can check out sometime:

3. Google: "The pain of self-discipline [4] is far less than the pain of regret [8]" ..... Find an image you like......... and save it onto your computer or phone.

4. Treats or dessert (for good behavior). Also, if possible, buy something related to a hobby you really enjoy.

5. Some guy on line had this great advice: " Never touch your dick……[or female parts for women]."
Tip……. when showering use a wash cloth

6. Humor ....... Google: "Glad you could join me Mr. Bond". Funny, somewhat possessed toddler............... Anyone know the Villain the toddler is supposed to represent?

7. Click on the NoFap "Emergency" button and find an image you like (positive influence): http://i.imgur.com/bbWSvJx.jpg

I think you can be very proud of yourself, for the insight you have gained, and for facing this issue! We should look at it like a drug addiction, taking the drug will give short term pleasure, and releases stress in the moment, but its not the answer and in the long run its only gonna make things worse.
Dont think about the pleasure a relapse gives at the moment, think how you feel after.
You are doing good job, the power is in our control, let's keep going, lets keep walking the the right path!
