***NO FAP thread to end ALL No Fap threads V5 (Now with FAQ’s and more!!)***

[Natedog15]

Phuck!!!!!! Holy **** is this real life?

I managed 27.5kg DB bench presses for 8 reps (6 clean) last week, so I've literally just threw on 30kg to see if I could manage a rep or two. I managed 6!

Haha man things just keep getting better and better I ****ing love it

Yes, I know it's quite light compared to the average serious lifter. But I've always had strength issues, my genetics hate me.

Way to go dude!!

U wot m8?? Suicide is never the answer, strong srs. I've been trough some ****, struggled with depression and thought of suicide for several years.
Whatever it is that's bothering you, find the source of it and get rid of it. Do whatever it takes, move away if that's what is necessary. And believe me when I say this; It's always darkest before the dawn.
I am so glad I didn't end it when it was at it's worst. Now I can say that I enjoy life. Sure there are some days where I just want to go to bed to wake up to a new day, but everybody has them.

Don't ****ing give up bro, you're better than this.



edit: You from Denmark fellow Viking? Good vid Tobias, mirin dedication.

Day 23.

Norway brah.

And yeah, that's what I have been thinking for 6-7 years, that it will get better soon. But once I do feel better, I instantly get hit with some more **** making everything worse again. It has come to the point where I absolutely have no idea what to do at all, there's just too much.... On the other hand you're right, I'm better than this and shouldn't give up..

[TehAustrianOak]

Can't remember where I heard this, can't even find the quote but it goes something like this;

If you're considering suicide, that means that you have sunk down as low as you can possibly go. So low, that the only way left for you to go is up.

Think about that, and please stay safe. If you need to vent, shoot us a PM, I've dealt with my unfair share of depression before and still do sometimes.

That's a good quote man, thanks.. good to know you brahs care! I'll be sure to do that bro, thank you

This is life my brah, it has it's ups and downs, and sometimes it will seem impossible to get out of the ditch, you believe you just cant fight your way out of it. But just hold on tight man, keep holding on, hold on until you find a reason to keep going, because once you do brah, you'll look back and be grateful you're still alive.
I don't know if I can change your mind and help you out of depression, but I really hope someone does, because you deserve to live an amazing life.

Thank you bro, again; really good to see people caring. I'll try to keep going and I know that if I manage to get through all of this chit I'll be so fukin successful one day.
Thanks again brahs for the wise words




And Tobias! Great to see you havin a good time man! Gjdm.

[WhirlwindTobias]

And Tobias! Great to see you havin a good time man! Gjdm.

You may not believe this Oak, but I'm not exactly a stranger to contemplating suicide.

Edit: 15 pull-ups with 10kg on the dip-belt, OHHHHHHHH YEAAAHHHHHHHH.

[20PoundRibs]

Day 1 and counting

[IZionLionI]

Just thinking back on your vid, Tobias. Porn and fapping were/are my only two vices. I'm straight edge and have never used alcohol or drugs... Gave up gaming years ago and don't really watch TV (don't have one at school and the few shows I keep up with, I just watch online)... Once I make more significant strides in defeating PMO addiction, I'll be able to walk confidently in the world knowing that I have no real, binding vices.

[Fourceps]

lol relapsed on day 10 back to day 1 lol

[quelopario]

15 pull-ups with 10kg on the dip-belt, OHHHHHHHH YEAAAHHHHHHHH.

damn son, if you keep that greatness up you're gonna be one swole kunt soon enough!

video was awesome, I'm glad to be part of this. your streaks are amazing, keep going so strong.

don't get too cocky tho, why not try and get back wit your girl instead of boasting about how much of a baller you are?

day 24

[WhirlwindTobias]

don't get too cocky tho, why not try and get back wit your girl instead of boasting about how much of a baller you are?

Two questions:

1. Why do you think I want to get back with her?
2. What gives you the impression I could get back with her if I did want to?

Good job man, I am the same regarding tv. Every night my housemates spend 4-5 hours in front of the t.v consuming take-aways and drinking up to 10 bottles of wine a week on average (based on the bottles that accumulate in the kitchen). They are around my age, and I just think; WTF are you doing? You are wasting the prime years of your life!

And to top it off they get laid regularly, I have to listen to them, and here I am bettering myself and I get jack squat.

[quelopario]

Two questions:

1. Why do you think I want to get back with her?
2. What gives you the impression I could get back with her if I did want to?

First off I didn't wanna call you out or nothing and it's seriously none of my business anyway but:

1. last time I asked you, you said you would take her back.
2. she's trying to talk to you again, I mean what do you think she wants? are you waiting for her to be like "oh I'm so so sorry, how can I make it up to you?" that's not gonna happen is it? I thought you said you only met a couple times and were chatting a lil bit.

We're all brothers here quel, don't worry about getting too personal or offending me. My questions had no animosity behind them what-so-ever

1. I'm not so sure now. She came my to my tillpoint on Saturday, didn't feel anything romantic towards her. I feel if I took her back I'd just be waiting for months on end again just to get out of that damned café.

2. She's a 17 year old girl, who the **** knows what she wants. It doesn't seem like she knows. Says she's still interested on FB, but doesn't contact me for a week and makes no effort to hang out. Not to mention she barely makes an effort when we do talk, one word responses are extremely prevalent. She could be attempting to string me along, leave me hanging for that one moment when she decides she wants me in her life beyond ******** messages.
Based on her responses today, I think the idea of me being happy and having an awesome life without her in it disappoints her. Doesn't that sound a little off to you?


What do I want her to do? I want her to be more upfront with her feelings, perhaps realise that if this keeps going the way it is there'll be nothing to pick back up instead of wasting both of our time.

We haven't hung out in about 3 weeks, if that changes your stance.

[JtotheIzzo]

Guys, stop telling/asking me to put you on the list

Here's what I do:

I pick a date. I'll usually make a post on that date saying from then on, I'll be automatically compiling the list for the next month.
From that date onwards, I read every single post (I read every post anyway when I update the other lists).
Everyone who is eligible gets put on, regardless of if they ever post again. After all those who never post again, simply don't get verified later on.

My chosen date was the 21st March, so unless you're already in one of the other lists (Cheeky Kunts, February, February and Beyond, March) just posting will mean I put you on the list.

That is unless you fapped today, disqualifying you immediately. It sucks, but I want to keep these lists as credit-worthy as possible.

I freaking relapsed today.....

I had momentum from being on my 10th day of no fap, breaking my record of 7 days and now it is all gone.

Good stuff, I like me some personal talk haha. Don't really have a stance tho, I just thought you wanted to get back with her in the first place.

17 sounds waay young to me and you're even a little bit older than I am but whatever. About her not being upfront with feelings: I sounds like you were at some point more invested into the whole thing than she probably was/is. She sees you as an option, you on the other hand treated her like you're only option (just a guess). I guess she kinda likes you but kinda doesn't know what to do about it since you don't make much of a move.

I don't know how you two talk, but if it was clear from the get go that it was never for "friendship" then she is clearly stil interested.

Nah man, she is not upfront with her feelings because her only experience is a 2 year relationship in which the guy clearly gave no ****'s about her beyond sex. We would talk about "making love", and the concept was impossible for her to comprehend. She could easily say she was falling for me over FB, but to look me in the eye and say it properly just made her feel embarrassed.

And yes, I've never really had multiple options (i.e had more than one girl on the go) which affects my game immensely. While she had other guys interested in her (even making propositions), however she told them where to go.

I am weary of making moves, because she broke up with me. You don't just sit around, cross your fingers and think she'll change her mind when that happens. You just get on with your life, put yourself back on the market and be indifferent/civil/amiable when if she does initiate conversation or bump into you.

That's the thing, I can't tell if she's interested. Her just "saying" it doesn't mean squat, actions speak louder than words and so far she's in-congruent as hell. And apart from the words "I'm still interested", she hasn't made any romantic intentions known at all. When she came to my till on Saturday, there was barely anything between us.

While in contrast, another regular girl customer came to my till (who is pregnant and has a boyfriend, before you say anything) had a friend with her, and they kept telling me how "Amazing" I was. When I look at the situation with my ex where I might possibly have to wait months before she is ready for anything, and then I get situations like that, I can't help but wonder; should I be spending any energy on this girl beyond casual friendship?

Perhaps if I waited I'd end up letting another, greater girl past my radar just for a relationship that might not even go all the way never mind last.

[Flareon]

Flare! Good to see you. I have been worried most of the regular's had left. If you have time, check out my video for my 250 day post.

Sup brah, I'm still here, although I haven't achieved much no fap wise.
Grats on 250 days, that really is a big accomplishment, you have some serious dedication to prevent you from fapping brah. I couldn't see myself reaching that far, proud of ya brah.

My no fap is messed up rofl, my first streak was 16 days I think, then I had went 20 until a few days ago, but I've started up on No Fap April, this is the real thing though, I feel it in my veins. I will beat this addiction of fap, along with sexual images.

Hopefully I'll reach where you are today

[CSOleson]

Reset today at 3pm, I'm freaking sick and tired of this. I don't get it. I've given up sugar, cursing, ********, twitter, video games, etc. before, no big deal. I've NEVER had willpower issues. This though, I've been trying to get rid of it for a good time of my life, and it seems to never freaking happen. I get some days into it, then all of a sudden think about it, then my mindset is,

ah, who cares? It is just once, you can jump back on the boat later and be just fine. You don't need to quit now, you can quit later

I'm sick of my mind. Also, have had a webfilter without knowing the password for some months. Still am able, in my moments of weakness, to find loopholes (sites that inadvertently have pron, youtube videos with girls in bikinis, etc). Anybody got some advice for me? Since I relapsed again I've just been angry as all hell. I am just tired of it. I turn 21 pretty soon and how the freak do I go into my "adult" years without acting like a man? I'm just letting myself get caught in boyish frenzy and can't abstain for more than a few days. I freaking hate mediocrity.

My exact thoughts when I broke my second attempt of no fap a few days ago was "I don't give a chit anymore, this nofap is pointless, I'm sick of it"

Even though I knew it wasn't pointless, I just wanted an excuse, I'm able to do no fap fine for as long as I want, until I get annoyed at myself for a specific reason, then I give up.

**Also, the web filter is pointless my brah, you will still find ways to reach explicit images if you wanted, the only way to prevent yourself looking at them is through controlling yourself. I have heard that 'if you really want to achieve something, then you need a reason for it. '
Find a reason or a goal that you are only able to reach with no fap, and aim at it.

[BurrowedLurker]

Haha, this gets richer!

A month or so back one of my closest friends terminated our friendship. Before the termination we both quit the MMORPG we were addicted to at the same time, pledging to never go back.

I deleted my characters, she did not saying she'd sell them instead.

I just found out through another source that she's back on it.

...I remember pledging to not play video games.
...So I installed the linux operating system.
...Now I just got to stop spending so much time on the internets.
...Guess it's time to only use the internet for this thread since I figured out that I am better off being reminded that I am still on no fap.

Perhaps you should print all if that out, frame it and shove it on the desk next to your monitor. People need to realise the power behind their words, ultilise said power and let it fuel their integrity.

Instead of ignoring their words, making excuses and hoping someone else will guide them.

[gjames017]

think day 19 or 20 checking in. shts barely on my mind anymore, but when it does I just stop the thought process immediately because I know directly after fapping i will regret it nom sayin

Here is a motivational quote

Emphasis on bold.

Wake Up: A Guide to Living Your Life Consciously
A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.
- Neale Donald Walsch

As much as possible, I try to live my life by bringing to my consciousness what is bubbling up from my unconsciousness.

I try to clear the fog through which we often drift, to see where I’m going, to make conscious choices instead of automatic ones.

Do you ever have a feeling that you’re drifting through life, and not going where you want to go? Or that you don’t know how you got where you are today?

Living consciously is about taking control of your life, about thinking about your decisions rather than making them without thought, about having a life that we want rather than settling for the one that befalls us.

If you’re drifting through life, or feel out of control, or don’t know how you got here … deciding to live consciously could be the single most important thing you do.

Are you living unconsciously now?
Ask yourself the following questions … if you find yourself saying yes to many of them, you might want to consider trying conscious living:

1. Are you in a job that you fell into rather than the job you want?

2. Are you doing things that are given to you rather than what you love to do?

3. Are you spending your time doing busy work rather than what you want to do with your days?

4. Do you wish you could spend more time with loved ones?

5. Do you find yourself overweight because you’ve been eating the food you’ve been eating for years and stuck in a rut of not exercising?

6. Do you find yourself living from paycheck to paycheck or in debt, not knowing where your money goes?

7. Do you find yourself wasting your time doing things that aren’t important rather than focusing on completing the things that are very important?

8. Do you go through your days not thinking about what you want out of life and how to get it?

If you answered “no” to all of these questions, you’re probably already living consciously, and you don’t need this article at all. For those who would like to live more consciously, read on.

How to Live Life Consciously
It’s not something you can change overnight. Living consciously is a lifestyle, a skill, an art. It’s not something you do just once, but a habit that you can form for the rest of your life.

But it is deceptively simple: Be conscious, and think about, everything you do. Make conscious choices rather than doing things without thinkings. That’s all.

It sounds simple, but it’s amazing how few people actually do this, and it’s amazing how easy it is to live life on autopilot, and just do what we always do because that’s what we’re used to doing. And it’s easier that way, even if our lives are difficult.

It’s not easy to changes our lives, to break out of our routines, to begin to live the lives we want.

It takes willful effort, energy and constant vigilance to think about our choices … all of them

[TMSmith4]

Hey guys, figured I'd throw this out here. Never been in this thread before. I used to fap decently often, but I started to find that it brought me bad luck. Weird, I know, but that's just how I felt. The last time I ever did it was over two years ago. At first it was incredibly hard, but I knew that it was better for my mind. Now, I never even think about doing it. Not that it's a bad thing to do, but I find that I have a clearer head without it. It's possible brahs.

[CSOleson]

My exact thoughts when I broke my second attempt of no fap a few days ago was "I don't give a chit anymore, this nofap is pointless, I'm sick of it"

**Also, the web filter is pointless my brah, you will still find ways to reach explicit images if you wanted, the only way to prevent yourself looking at them is through controlling yourself. I have heard that 'if you really want to achieve something, then you need a reason for it. '
Find a reason or a goal that you are only able to reach with no fap, and aim at it.

See, I do give a crap, in fact, I care a ton about it. My personal views absolutely don't match up with porn and fapping. I hope to be completely free of it one day, but I have realized how much hold it has taken in my life. See, I fapped the first time a little before I was 12, found porn a little later (prolly 6 months later or so). I had used a few movies with some nudity in them to keep me going until the days of porn. Went from Google image search to videos. It never got extreme, but honestly fapping has been my only way of dealing with my sex drive all this time. I never learned an alternative. I got heavy into video games and that fueled the addiction.

The web filter isn't completely pointless. I cannot watch a porn video, as it catches all those, but still image porn and sexy youtube vids are still out there, and they continue to be a problem.

Tobias, thanks for that. I will stick it in my desk next to my computer after I finish writing it down. I hope it helps, can't wait to be done with this crap.

Day zero started at 3pm.

Goals:
30 days free
60 days free
90 days free
Completely done with the crap

Doesn't sound like she's worth the trouble bro. I mean maybe she's cute and all but she's 17, she got enough guys coming at her and she can't even express her feelings IRL?

You're right for not persuing her anymore.

You seem like a good enough guy tho, can't be too long until another girl pops into your world, just have faith.

[elq94]

Did nofap for 1 month 1 year ago, felt fkin fantastic. I was a lot more confident and eventually morning woods came back. After reading all this chit im gonna try avoid fapping for good. Now i have been on nofap for 5 days and no libido at all lol.. i guess it will come back.

[GhostCat]

dont know whats happening, been on it about a month, dont keep track too much, relapsed about 1 or 2 times, had sex three times. Just dont feel as horny, still want to watch porn and think of it when banging a chick (i know i know) trying to change my ways, dont know if its just me flat lining or just loss of libido... kinda worried, want to go on a fapping spree just to make sure its all ok down there... help, whats the longest flatline lasts..
