Unmotivated to continue

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Go All The Way, Oct 20, 2019.

  1. I'm at a point right now where I don't feel as though I have enough reason to put in the effort and go through this intense discomfort that comes with nofap. I know that it is ultimately better for me but the benefits don't feel like enough for me to be motivated to quit. I've done all the self-improvement stuff; I go to the gym 4 times a week, I joined a dance team, learned how to cook, etc.

    I think at this point the biggest motivating factor would be helping find a partner and developing a healthy relationship with her but I guess I'm feeling jaded about the prospect of finding someone. I just don't have any hope that I will find someone who is right for me. I feel pretty broken mentally and emotionally and I don't think it would even be right for me to enter into a relationship like that.

    Not really sure what the point of writing this is but that's just how I've been feeling recently.

    I’m feeling almost the same way. After PMO, I recognize how badly I need NoFap, but before, I feel like PMO is worth it. I had a pretty impressive streak (in my own opinion) of 11 days, but I’ve relapsed hard and today I’ve masturbated twice. I feel miserable and I know you must too. Trust me though. It is worth it.
     
  3. Yeah it's all a weird mental battle. I first found YBOP like 3 or 4 years ago and I was super motivated back then. I had several 3ish month streaks back to back but the longer I fight this war the less motivation I have to put into fighting. Not to say I haven't improved because I certainly have but it's really hard to see a future completely free of PMO.

    You can't go all the way if you're unmotivated to continue. Listen, this is a struggle for all of us and I know this is gonna sound a bit cliche, but sometimes it's the effort that counts more than anything else. Think of it this way, how much time have you spent with your dick in your hand since discovering nofap compared to before? There's your motivation right there! It may not pay off tomorrow or even next month, but it will eventually, so stick with it.
