something that helped me a ton was whenever i started feeling like that i asked myself if today was going to be the day i disappointed myself, pretty straight to the point but my self respect kind of kicked in from there lol
I'm glad that you're still holding on. I can't help but think, though, that you keep putting yourself through needless angst because you frantically overthink your situation. Shouldn't it suffice simply to say "I'm doing these things because they're what I want," and then get on with it, minus the overthinking? When I was still doing long streaks and becoming acquainted with living unfapped, I saw a video by a Canadian black calisthenics guy who announced "I've decided to be celibate." He listed a few of his reasons and said that it would be permanent. I thought "If I ever do that, that's how I want to do it." When I was ready, I set aside a month (between streaks) for intense thought about whether I wanted to go irrevocably permanent or not, decided to embrace it, and that was it. In the six years since, I haven't rethought it once, because the decision had been made. I'm not preaching that you must be permanently celibate, but I've tried to bolster your efforts, because it was you who said "Yeah, celibacy for the rest of my life, that's the plan." If so, please realize that permanence begins in the mind. You must become so comfortable with celibacy that it feels as normal as wearing shoes. The ultimate goal of celibacy is to forget that you're celibate.
You’re right..the reason these urges still come is because I technically haven’t fully embraced it..it’s like I’m half in..expecting to go back any day..I want it..but a part of me doesn’t want to let go..
@@247Betterment So I gather. If you want it, though, there's nobody stopping you but you. During that month that I took to ponder whether I really wanted permanence, I realized how long I'd wanted it, before even being aware that I did. I realized that I'd only been trying to have it both ways; but that, each time I was between streaks, I was increasingly eager to begin the next one. My conclusion that there was no genuinely satisfactory middle path, so the only logical decision was to embrace celibacy. Now, I realize that men vary, and that your experience might differ from mine; but maybe it will help you sort things out. Blessings.
I think ive always been drawn it..after every release and relapse ive had always felt like a let down,and like you I was always eager to start back up, but my mind always pulled me back...no release has ever felt worth it my life..youre right with the no genuine satisfaction with the. middle path..for me that's not just with nofap but with everything else I want in this life..im tired of walking this and other paths half way in..
Dude i promise you me and u have the same mindset i be feeling the same way no matter how much words of affrimation i get i feel its still not enough I'm out of it i just tired of life honestly. Terrible to say but I am over been dragged and depressed.
