    I smoke weed. I pmo if I'm ever high and alone. Its like I lose control. Does anybody else have any experiences with weed & pmo?
     
  2. Sometimes, but I don't think it's directly related. I've been smoking weed every night for along time now. Hell, I'm high right now if I'm being honest. I think it's pmo addiction and being alone.

    Uneducated people will tell you that it releases dopamine and therefore you PMO. This has no accuracy. The only thing I can maybe see, is if you smoke weed and get lazy then PMO. But it's an addiction in the end. Whether you smoke, drink, or whatever. You will want to PMO from time to time
     
  3. Not personally Billy, but I have read many times that weed can make you pretty horny. :oops:

    So, perhaps it would be best to stop using weed until your NoFap challenge is completed.

  4. that's the point of smoking weed. getting high so you relax and leave all your problems behind for a while but you are without control too. Less aware of your choices let's put it that way, you let yourself go. Last time I smoked weed was on Sunday in a park. I didn't want to enhale too much coz I didn't want to be too wasted. If I had a drug dealer I'd do it more often lol

    I had sex while smoking weed and alcohol. but I would say because I was horny when I was still sober. I prefer myself being sober now. In recovery I am avoiding ways I could lose control. If I lose control I relapse. I don't wanna do it. My advice is avoid your triggers. Everyone has its own special triggers. give up smoking weed or do you still watch porn? 3 months without porn I can't find stuff to masturbate to really but I am a girl. What do you think of when smoking weed? You can do it! I am reaching 3 months in recovery in a few days :emoji_blush:

    Yeah, thats what I've been having to do.
     
  6. Yep, I agree. Being stoned correlates with being horny. That used to be a problem for me: whenever I knew that I would smoke weed alone, I also knew that I would fap - because the "fapping experience" got much better because of weed. But luckily I got rid of the fapping habit. If I smoke now (only on rare occasions), I still do get horny, but fapping is still no option.

    Wow 88 days! Goals.
    When I smoke weed I either get really deep in my thoughts and have anxiety or I basically go into autopilot and eat whatever, try to ffuck somebody or fap. or I'm just out and about doing some random shit with friends
     
  8. Weed is not viiagra people, please. It's just the fact that we ALL have problems with porn and MO. Open your eyes

    Facts. But I believe it might cause a lack of self control.

    After two neurons fire, passing an electrical impulse through a specific pattern that forms a thought, your brain releases a hormone that inhibits them from firing again to protect them. THC molecules (Tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the psychoactive substance in weed prohibits the brain from secreting that hormone, making your neurons fire uncontrollably.

    An addiction is a tendency of the brain to fire certain chains of neurons over and over. In our case they are urges...you can put two and two together now. You both are right. Weed amplifies thoughts...including addictions.

    It is EXTREMELY hard to resist.So I understand you bro...

    Started smoking weed a year ago, made my addiction, anxiety and depression worse.

    Quitting both now. At least making weed a social only and once in awhile. Also not drinking much anymore as hangovers are a trigger.
     
  14. Thanks :emoji_relaxed: gonna celebrate my 90 days with a cake :emoji_joy::emoji_birthday: you have to decide if you want to have the chance to lose control. How old are you? When did you start smoking weed and why do you do it? in these months I tried to isolate as much as I could coz I was scared of what I could have done like sleeping around and act out in unhealthy ways with drugs and getting drunk 24/7 I have been through a very rough patch lately. I haven't and I am starting to be proud of myself step-by-step

    See that's the level I'm trying to get to. I'm 22 and I first started smoking around 12 just because of being around it & peer pressure. I never had a chance really. Now I'm looking back and wondering who I'd be if I didnt smoke all these years & who I'd be hanging around. I might quit that shit for good.
     
  16. Yeah, sometimes it triggers me, but generally no.
     
  17. I think that's a good reason to stop :) you should hang out also with other people

    This is not PMO related, but I wanted to give my opinion. Smoking weed is mostly fine (despite it could result, long term, in changes on the brain? I actually don't know what definitive scientific evidence we have on the matter).

    However, a bigger problem is give by the amount of time it takes off from you. Heck, if I have 24 hours, and I have to sleep for say 7 of them, and eat-shower-commute-whatever for say other 2h (which is very optimistic), then I have 15h per day I can use for LIFE.

    If I smoke every single night and I stay high for say 4 hours per day, that is almost 1/3 of my life wasted away being high. Is it pleasant? You bet. Is it pleasant in a good way? Probably not. Why would you waste so much of your time in this way? Is this how little you value yourself, your time and your potential?

    smoking weed is just giving you that dopamine high, just like PMO is. Dont kid yourself if you want to actually see real results stop looking for cheap highs.

    All smoking weed does is hinder your recovery process. (i know this because i have tried it, much better off without)
     
  20. Well, no one said that weed would be viiagra. But it works as an amplifier: fapping feels more intense, also eating, drinking, thinking - you name it...
