    i don't get it either lol, but i stopped thinking about nofap forums and just focused on shit i do usually and when i'd go to sleep. i'd realise that i didn't use nofap at all and on some, i'd completely forget

    Do you think that 8 days is a good litmus test? Most addicts can take a natural break from 1 to 21 days.

    Basically, most addicts can only abstain for 1 or 2 weeks - after all, one has to give Mr. Winky a rest sometimes, right? This is only a natural rest period - it doesn't mean that recovery is sinking in as yet. Some cannot even make it through 1 week, and a very small number of addicts, not necessarily recovering either, can last 3 weeks. This 1- to 3-week period is known as the Gravity Zone - it's like a pit that addicts normally keep getting sucked back into, never ever really leaving the grip of addiction. However, if one does get past 21 days, and especially 30 days or more, then this is no longer by chance as with a natural rest period that any addict can take in the gravity zone. To get past 21 days, and especially 30 days and longer, this means that there is something else now at play - namely, one's recovery strategy is actually working and taking effect. It doesn't mean that one cannot relapse, for one can put down their recovery tools, but it does mean that one has found initial recovery strategies that are effective - one will begin to rewire now - and one will continue to learn and gather more recovery tools as well for one's arsenal, which will be needed for further horizons still. Best wishes!

  8. That cool, it’s easier to stay off of porn if you’re not on NoFap all the time

    but how is it making masturbation much easier?

    I'm not them obviously, but I would assume abstaining from porn and abstaining from masturbation go hand in hand for a lot of us. Pun intended. Not using the nofap forum too much is generally a good idea considering the entire website is dedicated to quitting porn, which just further reminds you that you're an addict quitting porn. I usually hop on once a day or every other day, sometimes less and thats usually enough for me to check if anyones replied and what not. The majority of the progress is offsite.
