Hello Fapstronauts, quick observation from today, as I was trying to get away from some midly annoying urges this afternoon. I decided to put on some music to help me clear my mind, and, as it wasn't very effective at the beginning, decided to krank it up to 11. I'm a huge fan of heavy metal. This music helps me channel my energy, and, because it is very powerful, helps as a good subsitute to P & M. In the end, that's the kind of music that always had a positive impact on my life, but that I unfortunalty gave up for more intense gratification through porn. As I'm slowly getting through my Nofap journey, I realise that I'm re-discovering my favorite music again, I'm more curious, more enthusiastic about discovering new bands and new genres. I forgot how powerful and helpful it was. It gave me the need to pick up my bass guitar again, and play a bit every day. Anyway, maybe music doesn't have such a big impact on my journey, and I just rediscover things in life that I personnaly enjoy but that I forgot because of my P addiction. For those interested, I'm really into Grindcore and Crust Punk right now. So much energy, I feel like punching a volcano.
I feel you man, Music is one of the biggest healers and an underrated/underused tool in fighting the battle against addiction. Channelling emotion through music has gotten me through some pretty dark times and I owe a lot to it. I'm also a huge Metal/Hardcore fan, and one thing I would recommend is to go to as many gigs as you can. I find it to be an extremely therapeutic experience; as you're experiencing the music in it's purest form. You're also a building block of a community and a movement. You can go to a hardcore gig alone and immediately feel like everyone in the room is your friend. Have you listened to Wormrot's latest release? It's a stomper!
Hmmm, Grindcore and Crust Punk, if it weren't for google I'd swear you were trolling. Long live the tunes man
aches crawl in the filth of vice What's deserved is what they receive Suffer the pain they bring to themselves Then deny the ruin Try to shift the blame onto Those who are unresponsible Sink down in a listless state A complacent half-life Vicious, barbaric impulsiveness Walking corpses decay In the torment that they have made Let them sink to the bottom Those who won't stand, let it be their grave Reach up for a hand but they're all bitten So now they're drawn away Killing brain cells, wasting away Killing brain cells, pure misery Killing brain cells, renounce, relapse Killing brain cells, over and over again, again See them scatter As weak promises shatter Used up all the second chances Given by the ones who matter Pathetic excuses Have all worn thin and through The escape route transformed Changed into a death trap Killing brain cells, wasting away Killing brain cells, pure misery Killing brain cells, renounce, relapse Killing brain cells, over and over again, again Through free will it was chosen Can't pin it on anyone else Can't pin it on anyone else Except yourself Broke through the thin ice once stood on Fall down into the nothingness Die from the venom intaken Now there's no one else to be blamed Killing brain cells, wasting away Killing brain cells, pure misery Killing brain cells, renounce, relapse Killing brain cells, over and over again, again Roaches crawl in the filth of vice What is deserved is what they receive Suffer the pain they bring to themselves Then deny the ruin
