    Day 6 down! I feel like I'm getting more calm and relaxed during stressful situations. Weeks and months ago, I always recognized how my heart beat breaks through the roof, just because of small problems or minor stress. I was so scared of failing, that I felt like freezed, and so unable to solve the problem.
     
  5. The only thing I'll ever accept about this addiction is that I got myself caught up in it. It was supposed to happen because I was so curious to find out what fapping off was like. Every boy is like that.

    But the one thing I'll never accept about this addiction is that I sit down and do nothing. You have to fight. It's the only way to win. I repeat, DON'T CONFUSE ME. That might be the only way I'll lose against this addiction.

    I'm winning against this addiction because I am fighting. Accepting your addiction (if I'm seeing this right) is when you accept that it will be in you. I'll never accept that it will be in me. I'll fight with EVERYTHING I got to win / to get it out of me. I don't care if there are 100,000 urges or 1 trillion urges!! You start off with the small urges, and the only way you beat those down is to have a great reason for beating them down. Once you get to the bigger urges, you have to have a greater reason to beat those down, and once you get to the biggest urges, you have to have the best reason to fight them down.

    Suppose you're in war. You can accept that you enlisted in the army, but you can never morally accept that you'll sit down and do nothing. Most of us human beings have fear inside of us. Survival adaptations were passed down to us. Fear is one of those adaptations. Because of that, we don't sit down (in the war case) and get killed just to be killed. We don't want to feel physical pain. It's why I FIGHT with EVERYTHING I got. (I don't want mental and social pain either.) I'm scared of what I'll be like at, say, 20+ years old and still fapping. I won't be able to date ANY girls, I won't be able to score! My motivation will be so low that you couldn't even imagine. My social skills would be 1000x worse!


    I can't live with those future facts.

    I LOVE the new me after 36 days! I am much more social and much more confident. It's much easier to talk to girls that I find attractive.


    Wanna know more on how you can win? Well read my journal, Fighting for a new life.

    The link is here: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/fighting-for-a-new-life.262612/


    So yeah, I'm not going to accept my addiction and just sit there. (Note: I have a strong feeling that I'm interpreting this wrong. Even if I am, don't tell me what you really mean by accepting your addction because I REALLY REALLY REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET CONFUSED)

    I will fight till...

    (Not till the end)...










    Till the day I die!!!

    Day 235!
    Curves come and go... They do their job and I ll do mine while ignore them ....
    The truth is the last days (more than one or two weeks, i don't know) morning wood is an everyday thing. Maybe some times not so hard or for so long us back then when we were 13, 14, 16... But still is amazing to feel my dick so hard every morning. Makes me feel younger lol... Maybe is silly but still it makes my mood!
    Has this happened to anyone?

    I feel like a failure. I feel like whatever I do to get rid of this evil habit won't work. I know that I have to stand up and fight with it, however, it becomes harder to climb the mountain which you always fall of.

  17. Oh-ho, going for allegories are we? Two can play at that game:

    Climb up the mountain, then fall off. Figure out which piece of your mountain-climbing gear was defective, or what piece of gear you lacked, and replace it. Climb up the mountain again, fall off again. Rinse, repeat, and eventually your mountain-climbing gear will be perfect and you'll reach the summit.

    But if you fall off the mountain and immediately race to scale it again, without taking stock of your gear, you'll never reach the summit. You'll keep falling off over and over. So do yourself a favour and every time you fall off the mountain, figure out what piece of gear you need to improve and improve it.

    For example, if you fell off Mt. NoFap because you didn't have a proper outlet for your energy, pick up a new hobby or start going to the gym (or going more often). If you let an urge brood for too long, try and be more mindful of when an urge pops up and deal with it quickly before it becomes overwhelming (I did this not 30 minutes ago). If you're starting to lose sight of your "why?"s for this journey, write down a list of the reasons you're doing this.

    You should always be able to diagnose what went wrong with your streak, the hard part is picking yourself back up and treating the failure as a learning experience. But if you can do that, you will eventually succeed. It might take months, or it might take years, but you will eventually get there. I promise.
