Only this sub has made a difference in dealing with the addiction. Before this sub, there's no WAY in hell I could've gone a day or two without doing it. So let's clear that notion out.
I haven't masturbated a single time on this program. And it wasn't an 11 year habit, it's been about a 25 year habit...so it's a pretty substantial change from twice daily or more for 25 years, to not even ONCE in 16 days.
Stop looking for reasons to do another program. This is the right program for you now. I feel this keeps having to be repeated for some reason. I hope that doesn't come off as rude, but it's honest. I want you to succeed here, so I don't want you to sell yourself short.
You're doing a program designed to stop something you want to stop, but seem to want to stop and do a program that accidentally stopped it for a few others. See what I mean? Stick with this program. Up the hours if you can, get as much headphones time in as you can. Check the volume with the Frequensee app for phones, and see whether or not you can increase it a bit.
Stick with it.
This addiction has messed me and my life—relationships, academics, etc. Sometimes, I really wish it would just go away. This addiction took away my "fire" for everything. Usually, when life gets hard, people say, "I wish I was a robot with no feelings." But, man, I don't know where my life is, but I really do want to feel something, whether it's good or bad.
Also, I am not planning to change subs until I get rid of this addiction. Yes, sometimes I get a very strong urge to change subs to OF/EPRAH or AM, but if I keep doing that, I will get nowhere.
You guys have supported me a lot ever since I started this sub. I felt kind of lonely because no one knew what I was going through. But then you and @"LeonidasXVI" joined this journey. I don't even visit the Nofap sub anymore but instead visit here most of the time because you guys understand. Please don't be surprised if, in the future, you find me saying something related to changing the sub. You guys will have to keep an eye on me. Also, I don't plan on leaving this forum ever again until I get rid of this addiction.
