Nofap Counter is bad.

For me personally I don't use the counter.
I think it doesn't help me to stay free from PMO when I had a goal of for example 100 days.
I know I would feel very bad if I fall back on day 95.

My goal is to feel beloved. If I am free or if I am falling back. My focus is on love, not on the counter. Because focussing on the counter is still focussing on PMO.

/Edit
I was playing around here, adding that counter, look if I could customize it,
I choose to only count my days without anything stimulating.
Let's just see what 's happening.

 

Thanks, but still you shouldn't really have to do that.

 

Yeah, I concur.

 

Doesn't really matter anyway, I'm making my own nofap ios app. Bad-a-bing-bad-a-boo

Wow, that's stellar!

 

Thanks, but I ended up ditching JTApple calendar and adding it to the native iOS calendar. But it still works a treat.

 

I agree. It also creates a sense that a single relapse means all of your work has been somehow undone. Going even a few days when your old self would PMO daily is an accomplishment and it should feel like one. It's not ideal, but it's still growth and needs to be seen as such.

 

Brilliant! Elegant in its simplicity.

 

I find seeing people that started out with low counters like 2 to even 30 days, more inspirational than someone that's been at it for months/years. At least you know people are around your day and it encourages growth and improvement.

 

There is a reason that it's 90 days you know, it wasn't just a number plucked out of the air, my reasons for doing noFap have nothing to do with being more organised, or energetic or to make me connect with real people or anything like that- I'm fine in all those areas thank you, so when you say I am "free" I already know that I am- free to choose not to abuse pornography- as it has a very real biological effect on me. So, I'm sorry but this "your free" peace and love approach you seem to be espousing doesn't really work as it won't cure me of the issue I am having.

Why does it matter to you anyway if others count up to 90 days? They are still quitting porn so what does it matter?

 

Im just pointing out the parallels between visualising yourself doing something rather than actually doing it, with the way porn is a simulation or visualisation of sex rather than sex. This does not make me incapable of being 'non-ignorant', it means I see a flaw in your reasoning. Things that are hard to do reap great rewards, and there is no need to cheat the system to appear to have achieved more than you actually have. Ignorance is ignoring potentially valuable points, insight or information. It is not simply disagreeing with someone.

 

Counter is great motivator for lot of people in nofap. I think nofap team given the counter to motivate people to reach their goals. So in my opinion what ever people think counter must be their.

 

Counters are counterproductive at least for me as it makes me a ticking time bomb. Nofap should just be your normal way of life. By setting a counter you're just creating tension by making yourself aware of how many days have went by and reminding yourself that you have this addiction.
