We're all gonna make it bros. I can't stress how much dropping my shitty habits/addictions helped me in getting /sorted/.
Get in here to discuss quitting destructive behaviors and improving ourselves.
How did you manage the porn thing
I'm having some difficulty
Join the club
Quitting porn is hard but I'm trying. Also eating clean is something I'm proud of as a recovering fattie. I can't really quit vidya since it's one of the things I still do with my friends.
Whenever I was about to relapse I just went to the bathroom and fapped. Sometimes I would fap several times a day. Tried not to think about porn while fappin, just women I've had sex with.
Now I try to fap once every 3-4 days. Sometimes it's more, sometimes less. Going full nofap never worked for me, I would relapse watching porn for hours.
I would play skyrim as escapism from when I got home and until bedtime, so I really had to quit. Only way was too sell my PC. Now I use a chromebook for work.
But yeah, I also had to ditch some friends who I usually played vidya with. I still meet them but it's very rarely now. Trying to make some new friends and reconnecting with others
How old are you OP? I'm 20 and have no friends and am doing poorly in school, is it too late for me to make it?
Mate. You're at prime making it time. get fucking started.
How do you change bad, destructive behaviours and habits and adpot new, useful ones?
Not op but will answer. You still have your whole life before you. Its never too late to change for better. Try and you‘ll make it :-)
>tfw cured depression
>tfw it was just a medicine change
>still play vidya with bros and lift and work
Try.
Fail.
Learn why you failed and avoid that factor.
Try again.
Fail.
Learn why you failed this time and avoid next factor.
Repeat until you eliminate all failure factors.
Try.
Make it
>Tried not to think about porn while fappin, just women I've had sex with.
Welp.
I. Can't. Sleep.
How is it possible? I quit alcohol, porn, playing way less vidya, but I've never been so depressed in my enitre life. I'm getting close to 25 and I've been struggling for more than 6 years but constantly failing, making little progress.
Don't want to sound emo but don't you need something, even a small thing to live for? I got nothing.
Think about it - do you really want to live for booze, vidya and porn?
Find something bigger dude. Family, case, money, girls.
I have God and there is nothing better in darkest moments.
Not OP, but I made sure to turn my life around when I found out I couldn't get a surgery for my wisdom tooth because my blood pressure was too high. I decided to force myself to go to gym, go running every morning on the weekends and eat slightly lower than I would. I've had some trial and errors on the way but manage to push trough 3 years later. Over the time, I got my discipline in tact and most of my vices just fell off like fat (drinking, smoking, all night vidya).
Tl;dr love yourself enough to live without motivation
If there's a God, it has abandoned me long ago. Seeing every single degenerate from my generation making it really kills any bit of faith.
Right now the only vices I have are listening to music and playing vidya, even though I play for like 1h a day. Rest of the time I'm either reading and learning stuff or working out. I still hate myself for some reason, but I won't stop trying.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up boys.
Hell yeah, OP. I'm new to the no porn thing but I've slowed down and my gf is much happier because she has a crazy sex drive and I can keep up now.
I've slowed down on my weed intake. It's more enjoyable that way, and I'd like to get down to just a puff in occasion.
Got my sleep in check.
About to buy a camper and get rid of the pointless shit I have to save money and focus on getting stronger and bigger.
Life is good.
>13
But we fucked
A lot
>20
>too late for me to make it
Bruh I'm 25, have to ask my parents for money half the time because no steady job + barely any work I can get in my field - and barely look like I lift since I never ate right.
20 is exactly the time you should take action and take control of your life.
Never really played video games after college. Definitely still watch porn. Still smoke weed.
But what turned it around for me as of recent was only drinking 1 day a week and not every night. It's improved all areas of my life and saving money is nice. Thought it would be super hard but you have to actually want to stop.
Cut caffeine entirely and turn your goddamn computer off at 8pm.
I can confirm this is false.
Lost virginity at 24, have plenty of sex now and I'm 26.
Granted, I was no stranger to women before I had sex, I just never went all the way because I didnt feel ready. I had had multiple girlfriends and evem some one-offs.
I don't know therefore if my experience doesnt count.
lol no u didnt
Virginity loss for men is a meme.
Men don't "lose" anything. At most it's a subtle confidence booster, nothing more.
A person that doesn't have sex until their early 20s for personal reasons but has had relationships and other intimate experiences with Women is better off than someone who has had virtually no experience with girls but did pay for sex once.
I'm 22 soon. Never too late
I'm not proud of it, but it happened
huge confidence booster. lost mine at 18 huge relief that i wasn't going to be a 20, 25, 30 yr old virgin etc.
>tfw lost our virginities at 15
>now married
I think I'm gonna go to church tomorrow. Not even baptized, but I'm really fucking mad about a girl so I probably need some Jesus.
I quit porn at New year after 2 years as a neet at 26 and so far this year
>Few lessons away from passing driving test
>Quit porn 100%
>quit all competitive games after 600 hours or so on Overwatch
>Just got accepted to do engineering studies
>lost 6kg or so

Congrats bro im on a similar path. What are you gonna do about being out of education for so long and being rusty on your maths etc? Im thinking about getting a tutor, currently just reading through my old text books
Fuck quitting vidya, I want motivation to PLAY vidya. I buy a bunch of games and then I never find the time to play.
I have always been a picky eater

One of the tutors recognised me and said I should have emailed him to find out what the questions where kek
