A lot of gay shit posted everywhere that is designed to make you doubt yourself and make anger or sadness well up inside you. This thread is for Anons who want to give advice, Anons who need some motivation, and Anons who have had a bad day/week/year, and could use a shoulder to lean on.
>You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. Realise your limitations are for the most part imaginary. Most important of all, be patient and forgiving with yourself. Rome wasn't built in a day, you're not going to fix yourself overnight. Every minute you put into developing your skills, going to the gym, organising yourself, cleaning up your house, applying for that job, making new friends, talking to that girl you like, is another brick in the wall of your Colosseum.

I recently quit smoking weed and watching porn. I feel pretty good about these two decisions. I implore every who reads this to do the same.

good on you. It's gonna be difficult but don't give in. If you find yourself with too much time on your hands and feel aimless, try to make habits out of time sinks that benefit you in some way- consider casually learning a new language, reading more, exploring new music, exercising more, doing more cardio. I wish you all the best, brother!
Isaac Murphy
Gz man. I've quit porn and video games (I was growing bored of video games anyways so it was easy). Plan to sell off all my old video games to help raise funds for me 10 children. Stop wasting money on materialistic shit that doesn't bring me any real happiness like figurines too.
Just need to find a wife first..
Henry Flores
you have 10 children and no wife?
Juan Martin
I've noticed that it's far more difficult to ignore the dishes and laundry in my house if I'm not stoned, it was very easy to ignore. My free time has evaporated because these things don't seem as distant to me anymore. I have been exercising and lifting more often. I feel great.
Bentley Scott
The video games are probably going to be with me forever. I don't buy every single faggot game that comes out like I used to when I was younger, but I do enjoy a lengthy Paradox game every now and again, and my wife really enjoys them as well.

QUIT WATCHING PORN AND MASTURBATING
Jacob Adams
that's awesome. don't you dare let go of that feeling. enjoying yourself in moderation isn't harmful, imo video games aren't inherently harmful and some can be regarded as art

video games aren't inheritly bad, it's the ones that are designed to be as addicting as possible and have you playing it 24/7. I was super addicted to league of legends, csgo, and Wow at various points. So much better off without any of it myself as I never cared about single player games myself.

I quit watching porn. I started working out. I started reading books. I started cleaning more and getting organized. Also(not saying you have to) I turned to Jesus Christ and became a Christian. Life is starting to look really good.
Oh it was a typo lol. yeah I've had my share of vidya woes. It's such an easy way to escape one's problems. Modern games don't have a soul anyway so I can't bring myself to play them just for imaginary e-points. Removing video games from your life is way easier than porn though. You can get rid of your consoles, uninstall your games etc. whereas porn is always a few clicks away. I guess you could always set up a parental lock, just as an additional level of tedium you have to go through where you might change your mind

STOP MASTURBATING, START LIFTING Thanks to some anons here and good ol' Jihadi Jesus videos I have managed to make a plan to stop my fapping addiction, 14 days clean so far, not much but I've never felt so optimistic, my demons will try to come back for sure but I think this might be the time I finally beat it. About to enter University next month, going for Political Science, I want to be a politician and save Argentina from the SJWs and marxists. Realized that in order to help others I need to help myself. Step 1: Stop masturbating and regain control, Step 2: Finish University as soon as posible, Step 3: Build a reputation in politics; side stuff but non optional: Get fit and get a gf that isn't a hoe. To the young anons, try to make a plan on how to get to were you want to go in life, it really does help, a lot more than acting like a slacker and just wishing for good luck; wish me luck anons.
That's great. I think it's awesome that you found some meaning in Christianity. I'm not religious but I do try to be a good Christian regardless, I know it makes me a better person. keep it up user!
Sebastian Wright
Porn was definitely hard to give up. Yeah parental blocks don't really work even if you don't have the password to them because there are still lots of ways to get around it. It really becomes a testament of willpower more than anything.
After a month tho, you don't even think about porn anymore.
Hudson Nelson
At nye I got my friends so ar as to join a bet to see who can abstain from fapping the longest. We're almost one month in right now. I figured this was a great way to make them participate in my Self Improvement while they are improving themselfs aswel. The competition keeps me sharp and motivates them to train self dicipline. So far only 2 failed half way through the month. They arn't as mentaly strong as the rest who is still in. This really works and I wanted to share my achievement. Hope you /SIG/ bros are sort of proud of me. Tell me your no fap progress!
Lincoln Cooper
I'm glad you're moving in the right direction. Make it as hard for yourself to relapse as possible, treat yourself like a child that you're trying to hide candy from. And forgive yourself if you have a moment of weakness, it's just a setback. Don't let it spiral you out of control. I wish you luck in your studies, and I hope to unkowingly read your name in a headline some day!
Seconding the make a plan idea btw, if you want to know what to improve you need to know what you want and what's involved in getting there.
That's true. I try to use my laptop as little as possible to deny myself the opportunity, if it arises
Wyatt Bennett
About a month ago I got some of my friends so far to join a no fap challange. So far 2/3 is still going strong a month in. It's a nice way I found to make my friends Self improve and also keep me sharp along the way. I wanted to share because I am proud of this and hope you guys are too! Tell me some of your no fap storys /SIG/ Bros
Sorry guys my internet fucked up and now I posted a similair post twice.
Gabriel Reyes
I'm proud of you user. You're on your way to improving yourself, and that's all anyone can really ask of you. I've been on nofap for a few weeks. Other than that in the new year I decided to read 2-3 books a week, which has just about been manageable so far, and I'm continuing going to the gym and pursuing my studies.
Jaxon Gomez
Don't apologise! Thanks to that I got a new picture for my art folder!
Michael Phillips
No problem my man.
Mason Butler
Impressive! I ain't that quick on the reading yet so I set a 10 pages a day mark and I train every night before I go to bed. It ain't much but progress is progress!

We need more posts like these, thanks user.
>Never let go of the first thing that you have to do/ imagine you're playing Halo for the first time and you have a list of current objectives to do/ the further you go along on these objectives/ This leads you to finish your mission and get your first weapon/ You get to the ship being invaded/ The ship being invaded you have to take down the aliens or find some aliens to work with so that you may kill off some aliens which you cannot reach/ Just make sure that these aliens have the same code of virtue than you do.
DO what's right for yourself and your fellow citizens. Know that your government is infected and take the arms before it's too late. Your government only thinks about making money off you. Invest in buying land wherever you can buy land without obtaining the citizenship of the land or being married to someone of said country as this is the last era of colonization and this the last resort. China has started off early, think of the first railway being constructed in the US, it was China against Ireland. We're back to that and we need to ally with them if we want to survive this time, think that we're now in Halo " and we need to ally ourselves with the Arbiter to combat the Pestilence.
Kevin Butler
Nice to see you are doing well but, and excuse me if I am wrong, but I would watch out with those challenges, it kinda sounded to me like one of those No Nut Novemeber challenges that some just treat more like a meme than anything else. But if you have a strong support for you to abstain from fapping other than competition then you are probably doing well, keep it up and good luck. Thank you! You might hear about me in the news when they talk about feminist trying to kick someone from their university because he said something sexist or non inclusive kek. My University is, as most of them are I suppose, really leftist, I will be respectful but I will not give an inch as far as my ideology and way of thinking goes, if I change the way I think, it's because of research I do, looking from both sides of the fence and choosing which one is best. I try to keep media and social influence as far away as posible. Again, thank you.

Anybody struggling with Depression should seriously hit the gym. Regular exercise did so much to improve my mood it's incredible.
Michael Miller
Been three months that I've stopped smoking and drinking. As for watching porn, had stopped for 2 months and a half, lost my job since then have gone back to fapping, only to comics though and keeping it in the happy sex and one to one only without any incest or rape or stupid shit that would make me hard and quit being human. Keep the faith. thanks for sharing.
Cameron Carter
So senpai, tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t pay a girl to let me tuck her in to bed, give her a little shoulder massage, and sing to her. Nothing sexual, but just that sort of stuff. Name one reason, why I shouldn’t.
Parker Fisher
Thanks man, i'll keep it up. To us it's not a meme, good thing you ask. I am using this to abstain from fapping as long as posible. With the hope of getting so far that I don't feel any urge whatsoever. P.s. Lots of good luck in the future man!

Christian Foster
hah! I challenge you to read for an hour straight, see how many pages you can do, I'm sure it'll be more than 10. A good technique for reading quickly is to scan over the text quickly while either saying the words out loud or imagining yourself saying them out loud. It may seem strange at first but you'll find that you can read sentence after sentence like this without missing a beat.
You're very welcome. I'm glad you're posting, that's some great advice!

>Vidya >social media >Talmudvision It is designed to take advantage of the risk/reward (gambling) center of your brain, as outlined in the Talmud.
When you refresh the screen checking for updates, or change the channel on the TV, or get to that next level in Cowadoody you get a blast of dopamine just like when you pull the lever of a slot machine. The loading bar, the channel hiccup, the countdown in the multiplayer lobby creates excitement which releases adrenaline much like the spinning slots on that same slot machine. That fleeting moment of uncertainty that makes you crave it even more.
And they're not taking your money, not directly anyway, just your time and progress toward whatever it is you're working on - so to them it's morally acceptable, again as outlined in the Talmud.
Good one. I'll be sure to try, and tomorrow i'll do my challange! You'll hear form my progress.
Grayson Gomez
This is true; exercise, especially cardio, releases endorphins. By exercising you are forcing yourself to be that little bit happier that will allow you to succeed in other areas in your life.
This is a general point for all Anons in this thread: >Emotions, behaviour and thoughts are all implicitely linked. You can trick yourself into changing your thoughts and behaviours by rewarding yourself for good deeds. If you want to punish yourself, don't punish yourself too harshly, this can have an adverse effect.
Oliver Gutierrez
Quit: >Fap >Porn >Booze >Chew >Fucking eating to much Feels good man, I am religious though and that's a huge motivation but also overall self improvement
Because with a little bit of dedication every day, you can do that without having to pay her. And you can kiss her, cuddle with her, connect with her and exchange thoughts, emotions and ideas, you can pursue hobbies and interests with her, and you can make love to her.
Ryan Hughes
I look forward to it!
Talmud or not, the sites are designed that way to keep your attention for as long as possible, as that means more ad revenue. Bear in mind that this site also functions like that- everything in moderation (although some things you can and should probably do without).
Ayden Miller
I'm proud of you. You're on your way to becoming a better person.
Alexander Rivera
I also was really addicted to league of legends, video game quality is dirt poor so it gave me an opening to abandon gaming.

lifting for a year and slowly finding back to my inner child. it sounds cringy but I allowed other opinions to influence me way too much and cared too little about myself
the more I love and listen to myself again, the easier life is getting
It isn't cringy, everyone is susceptible to that. I for one know that my parents' opinions influence me way too much, which makes me make decisions that ultimately aren't the best for me. I'm proud of you man, keep it up! Sei stark mein Bundesgenosse!

How flattering! How are things now that Bolsonaro is in power? Are things improving?
Matthew Collins
Too soon to know, but seems like he's gonna honor his words, which is good.
I don't think this country has a bright future, though. If you don't win in the northern hemisphere, the white race will vanish in 2 or 3 generations here.
Kevin Bailey
None of that spirit in this thread! He will honour his words, and I'm sure your country will have a magnificent future once it starts to deal with its problems. It might not be ideal, but an improvement is an improvement! I for one wouldn't mind moving to Brazil and increasing your white population- I love your music!
Not having pride is what put the West in this humiliating situation.
Landon Parker
Tips for quitting porn? I'm thinking of at the very least stop watching vids. I believe in balance and I'm aware that porn has become a habit that is over the threshold of 'halthy balance' I quit smoking for 3 years now but I love weed and will buy the odd bag now and then. I don't think you need give up fappibg. Just take control of it and maybe get off the internet
John Baker
>Based and cleanpilled
I've given up videogames and have taken up some old hobbies again. Also weening myself off porn.

I've met the best, most wholesome and pure white girl, which im absolutely sure i'll marry in a few years and have cute blonde and blue-eyed babies with. I quit cigarettes this month and have been going hard with my workouts lately AND i look pretty damn good. I've been having a fantastic time with my friends recently too, considering how much of an introvert i am. Things are going absolutely great, with the only big exception that my Fathers dying from cancer and is laying in his deathbed currently, and he probably won't do it for too much longer. Seeing my Father fight against this fucking terrible sickness for over a year was probably one of the worst things i've ever witnessed in my life, it is truly heartbreaking. I'm still visiting him and giving him all the love, and my mom until very recently still layed next to his side whenever she could, even at the hospital. I always knew Family was important, but all of this just made me realize even more how important and valuable Family truly is. I've beaten both depression and anxiety after almost a decade and i've become a stronger person in the process as well as finally finding my luck. Despite whats happening with my Father i'm not crumbling down into a crying mess, because i have almost complete control over myself and my mind is free. user, whoever you are, whoever is reading this, you can do it, always work on yourself and remember who the most important people are in your life.
Pride isn't a sin. Being proud of your own achievements is great, because it can embolden you to achieve even more. Being proud of the achievements of your ancestors and cousins is natural and (if their culture is, like ours is, beautiful and enlightened) is great for the same reason as personal pride; it can be harnessed as a catalyst for good.
Treat yourself like a child that wants to get at a jar of candy. Hide your laptop away when you're not using it in a productive way. Fill your time with things that are useful to you in some way, don't let yourself fall into aimlessness. Tidy your room and your surroundings, do your chores, buy groceries and cook and eat well, go to the gym, make new friends, see and experience new things. It doesn't have to be boring either, you can watch tv, listen to music, or read a book if you enjoy those things- but everything in moderation! Fapping seems harmless, but if nothing else it's a time sink. At worst it's reprogramming your brain to remove your self-control. I'm proud of you nonetheless for having the ambition to stop it. The odd bag now and then is fine, but be careful that it doesn't affect the other aspects of your life.
>Also weening myself off porn. You know yourself better than I do, so this seems like a very sensible and reasonable approach if you think you'd be likely to relapse. The slower you take it, the more likely you'll be to succeed. Don't let yourself fall into the trap of taking it too slowly either though. I'm proud of you for making a start!
Ethan Peterson
You are a great man.
Ryan Nguyen
I'm so so proud of you. Beating depression is no joke, I'm so far away from doing that myself. Sorry to hear about your dad. I know it's overused on pol but "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". I'm sure he'll be waiting for you in heaven when your time comes. In the meantime show him that you love him. Most of all, remember the progress you've made, and how it makes you feel, and don't let go of that feeling. (Oh and also please make lots of blonde and blue-eyed babies!)
Justin Phillips
OK EVERYONE
I'm checking out for the evening. If the thread for whatever reason gets taken down or is simply archived, please someone (Brazilbro maybe) make a new one for me. I'd like very much for this style of /sig/ to become a staple of pol, it makes me happy reading your stories and I hope it encourages you to do your best!
This is me aswell, i probably spend too much time on vidya but i dont have any other hobbies that are so easy to just sit down and do after work. What can i do to fill the void?
Brody Fisher
>the west Who cares about the west ronaldinho? Talking utter bullshit won't make you smarter or fix the issue. I guess you haven't read that Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. I would gladly witness the fall of the west, honestly things must not persist as they do now. >Christianity needs a new reformation Kind sounds like >we need a new system >Pride isn't a sin Yes it is and just like all the other sins it can and it will creep just when you've let your guard down. Being content and happy with or about something has absolutely nothing to do with pride if thats what you're trying to describe. Pride is an awful thing that exactly like any other sin consumes you and your resources like attention, love, compassion, strength and thanksgiving. Pride is deceitful and cunning, its draining and particularly damaging because it easily distorts your sense of judgement, works like an opioid for your ego and from personal observation and pondering its most damaging when you're trying to recover, rest and reflect on your actions.
Cooper Anderson
>I recently quit smoking weed and watching porn. I feel pretty good about these two decisions.
They're vices, but don't spiral on abstinence from basically anything. Even opiates have a place in life.
