opting out of nofap

    i think i'm opting out of nofap forums, for few reasons, but lets list them just
    for the case of making the case, and personal note to each point:

    1. little interaction with other users
    - maybe its me not connecting well with others

    2. thinking of 'not to pmo' induces porn use
    - paying too much attention to the problem increases the problem itself,

    3. its rare to pair with ap of similar enthusiasm and stamina to actually carry on agreed commitments
    - that's i would call prerequisites for great co-op, and then it is uplifting,
    but otherwise its pretty much dissipation of energies on empty enthusiasm

    4. hardmode, brahmachari and kareza - some people just don't get it
    - ok, there are individual here who are sincere in their practices,
    but men put themselves to different standards, and then the comparison in
    mere day counts count for little significance, but that's an issues each has
    to resolve within their own hearts, some are insincere and are bragging about it needlessly,
    what i mean is that i get more noise coming from those kind of posts then good info.

    5. once a little plant grows beyond a scope of a little pot its time to move it somewhere else
    where it can reach out deeper and wider for the light and the nutrients and so it is with people
    - i feel as if i have had outgrown this format, and exhausted tools availbale here, i've had plenty
    of good advice and insight being around 'nofap culture', but overexerting it, would perhaps bring
    little further benefit, maybe would become even deteriorative if one develops chronic social addiction
    to constant need for validation in success and failure.
    i'm not a total yoda of all supernatural nofap quantum superpowers, but i'm good,
    i feel as i integrated certain good habits as part of my life, and even while fapping i would still not
    give up on certain routines or practices, and i found that high consistency of such habits renders fapping untenable
    a mode of living if you may, but i think its time for me to move on,
    the purpose of nofap its to go beyond it.

    Nofap (this place, not the idea) can be suffocating and the only way out is to keep on going outside of its realm... For me it's more of a crutch, so that I can repair myself.. Eventually you need to out-grow and no longer need that crutch, at least until you fall again which hopefully won't happen.

    Helping others has its limits, a lot of addicts are beyond help and saving.. I realized that here and in my group 4 years ago.

    Keeping in a better mindset, with better company than most of the people here, is more important than staying. This place can become toxic if you let it.

    This place, to me, is just a guide post for the beginner... Not the destination.
