    ... at least, that is what we should be telling our subconscious.

    The combination of reading about Auto-Suggestion, and thinking back about my 6 months here on NoFap, and I have just clicked into why I seem to be binging more.

    After reading posts about how difficult it supposedly is to stop PMO, my subconscious sort of seems to say "See.... it's almost impossible, you may as well give in"

    Here are a quote from Emile Coué regarding Autosuggestion.

    So, I have been using auto-suggestion to plant the idea that it is really easy to ignore those silly little impulses that pop up. They are just temporary impulses that pass.

    If I can resist that urge easily when others are in the room with me.... than I can easily do it when by myself.

    It is already providing me with more of a feeling of hope, and has seemed to weakened the power of urges

    I am also ONLY going to read the success stories.

    That's great! I agree completely, and I do use this technique of telling myself that I'm strong enough to do this; although I never knew to call it "auto-suggestion."

    No star athlete, great scientist, or business leader ever got that way telling himself how hard it was and that he couldn't do it! I'll never forget the very moment that I made my decision to give it all up. I was in a travel trailer in Florida and had been viewing NoFap-related videos and the NoFap forums on my tablet. I'd been toying with the idea for a long time, but I'd wondered if it was for me and if I could do it. When NoFap convinced me that the answer to both questions was "yes," a huge smile came on my face, and I excitedly said "Let's do this!" I've been excited about NoFap (and about not fapping) ever since.

    Yes, I do admit that hard-mode no-PMO is difficult. Otherwise, everybody would do it. However, I still tell myself that it's something that I can do--that it's within my reach--and, it really is! It's a whale of a trip, and one of the most nearly unique experiences that any man can give himself. Whether it be 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, indefinite, or permanent, I highly recommend it as an experience that is absolutely not to be missed. I've told myself these things until I really do believe them, which is a great antidote to desires and urges.
