  1. Hello great community,

    It's been a while since I posted here regarding NoFap.

    Although I've learnt a lot during this time, I haven't got much progress since I've started two years ago. At start I was all motivated; watching self-improvement and NoFap videos on YouTube and took all the Day Counter pretty seriously.

    It may be due to my studies to my degree but I can't seems to ignite my passion back to fight it. Of course, it's because I failed many times but about 3 months ago I truly gave it up.
    I don't feel like I'm lack of knowledge, I think I saw just about anything, but lack of self-believing to myself that "this time will be the last".

    I know that the best way for recovery is to build your own life so that you won't need porn but that's the catch. When you ignite the car, you must physically turn the switch and then the motor will start. Who do I retain the energy to do the same with my life? At least addictionwise.

    In "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson, he describe motivation and action as a circle. You don't wait for motivation to land on you one day;
    Action -> Inspiration -> Motivation -> Action...
    Which turn me back to my question aforementioned.
