Smart phone (urges)- greatest enemy of NoFap?

For Fapstronauts from the Indian sub-continent and the Indian diaspora.

  1. Problem-

    Everytime when one needs to go on a NoFap journey, somehow or someway triggers come knocking and the rider gets knocked down by the urges. I m telling u all these things out of my own experience. Everytime when i started NoFap journey, i cut out every trigger which may come on my way deleted facebook , deactivated instagram, change the setting of youtube to restricted mode and did everything to stop the urges. Even i switched off my phone and kept it inside a box. But everytime i lost the streak becoz of the haunting urges. My frnds i always ran away from urges but i found out that the more i avoided it the more i got into it..

    Now the solution to it...

    Stop running from urges while doing NoFap. Let me elaborate on this.
    Its only our brain which manipulates us to open instagram or porn sites to feel the pleasure. It is we who type sexy girls and ___________ what not on youtube or any social media. So it is clear that our brain is telling us to do so. But while doing NoFap this is what we want to acheive- i.e rewire our brain dopamine level or dopamine detox. So dnt run from it confront it as a real man. Deal with it logically, visualise it , meditate on this. Is it that u are controlled by ur brain or u control ur brain. So stop running or avoiding. Everytime deal with it like an alpha.

    Be happy and be blessed.

    There are different ways you can avoid your urges.
    One of the way which is not that recommendable but works for me is to hold you breath.
    When you do this your brain is diverted to focus on fulfilling the Oxygen requirement of your body and the urge disappears in few seconds.
    Remember Don't hold it too long.

    I would say, not everyone would be strong enough to face those urges and get away with it without relapsing

    But that's exactly what needs to be done. One biggest reason why some can't get away with those urges is because their main focus is on quitting the habit but not on their goal. If you focus on your goal more the urges will last for shorter durations and you can avoid them too.

    I am trying a new thing which is having internet off for 2 hours and then on for 20 mins where i check whatsapp and stuff
    Initial days I found it tough, slowly getting used to it

    It helps because slowly you will stop feeling the immense urge to check whatsapp which leads to other things
