/nofap/ - Fappers Anonymous

>>11986

Your brain is simply hungry for the dopamine/serotonin bump you got from porn/fapping. Presumably since you've got no other major vices (and most if not all have this in common) you are just craving an alternative. The mind-body system wants to feel good, it has to. It's supposed to get those feelings from accomplishing something, so try and turn it to figure out something healthy or productive you can do. Exercise, pick up a musical instrument, read, write, whatever.

I do not recommend drugs or alcohol at all, it's just another shitty vice to make you miserable in the long run for a brief feel good. I've had some experience there, and it's really no better for you than fapping. One might even say it's worse, but that's a matter of opinion.

LEARN SOMETHING. Soldering old audio equipment is my drug that helps me relax. Currently thinking about learning how to fix car electronics.

Were you expecting an easy, blissful time of it? >>11987 is right, and know that getting started is often the hardest part.

I'm in a similar boat, it's intensely hard, but it's definitely possible to just muscle through it

the longer you go without fapping the more willpower you have, and the more willpower you have the easier it is to abstain, at least until the end of the first week

after about 7 days your testosterone levels spike like crazy, which will send both your energy and your sex drive through the roof

IMO this is the hardest part, and once you get over this hurdle you're pretty much home free as long as you maintain discipline

definitely get a meaningful hobby

nothing wrong with playing videogames, as long as you don't go for more than 2 hours a day or so, but it's absolutely not something that will give you real satisfaction

if you're really into that sort of thing, download Unity or something and make your own, it's easier than you might think

personally I take a really intense martial arts class, even if I've been wrestling my urges all day I'll be calmed down and clearheaded after an hour of it

You like soldering?

Can you tell me the correct way to solder a 4pole headset that has a mic.

I'm kinda fucked on this, every time i fix it the thing just breaks after a week and sometimes the audio levels get shit fucked.
