Can A Dopamine Fast Speed Up NoFap Recovery?

I feel dopamine when I listen to music is this bad for my recovery Bob?

I think dopamine fast really helps, because if you are on nofap but doing other instant gratification things then you would want more eventually leading to a relapse

NoFap benefits are real. Spread the word, save the world.

You make excellent videos, exactly what I need to recover my life

Best idea is to not use your phone except for calls . Just keep it in the pocket you'll feel the difference by afternoon itself. Mind will be very calm

Thank you Bob for all the work you're doing

I have fiddled with my flesh flute on day 8 (8th January 2023) so fairly recently (tonight recently)

When I have relapsed I immediately sprung to action and writing things on my notebook since that I have screwed up my computer due to curiosity killing the computer (it was bent motherboard pins) and when I have discovered that the motherboard was well and truly gone (I don’t know what date it was when I broke the motherboard/computer) which means I can no longer talk to my nofap brothers in discord. I have sworn to myself that “I must get a new computer to chat to my nofapping brothers in discord, I must wait until I get a new computer” but on 8th October 2022 I have relapsed before I can get a new computer.

And when NNN 2022 came along I was determined to do this, heck I have even prepared for NNN 2022 the week before. But on one fateful day, 5 days in, my dog got bit by a snake (snakes are very lethal in Australia) and I was unaware of this happening until he was laying on the grass sobbing everywhere, we tried to go to the vet which was closed so we had to go to a neighbouring town that wasn’t closed but it was too late, he died in my arms because I was holding him, not while driving because I was underage to drive in South Australia and the driver (which I choose not to identify) pulled over to check if he was gone (he was) and we mourned him. And we did boring stuff afterwards (the burial was not boring at all) I have written him a note that said something along the lines of “you were like a brother to me” buried the note inside the grave and used a Ned Kelly gnome as a grave stone that is essentially wearing his old collars. I have failed on the 16th day (9th day if you’re not counting the “practicing” the week before the NNN streak)

On December I have thought about strategies to combat the monster for example, writing down a tally mark for how many times I have fiddled with my flesh flute for each month of the year and divide them by 12 and writing down the notable events like relapses. This makes my nofap upto snuff and paints the picture why I was away from discord for a long time and what happened to the leading days when I get a computer (I am well aware discord is on mobile devices) in the new year, I was dedicated to go for nofap 490, whenever I have failed (like today/tonight) I will calculate what day will it be from the day of relapse and what day it will be from 90 days from the day of relapse (say that I have relapsed on March 31st, I will set the clock back to day one and calculate what’s the 90th day after relapses, if I relapse the same rule applies, sound complicated doesn’t it? After all I can’t explain things right)

So that’s the end of the long and what I assume the most complicated thing I have ever explained, I won’t be bothered writing the TL;DR part of the thing.

Dopamine fasting is a fancy name for buddhism. The Buddha was the first person to basically remove all forms of stimulation as part of his path

I'm attempting nofap again this year, my longest streak was 5 months. But during that time i experienced absolutely awful acne on my face, very greasy skin all the time. Has anyone ever experienced this during nofap? (i've never experienced acne before, not even when i was a teenager)

This is nice. Personally, I like to look at it as abstaining from anything that has no physical, mental or emotional benefit like mindless scrolling of social media, binge watching videos and overeating. Reading, working out & socialising are actually good activities to help transmute the sexual energy you store during nofap making you stronger mentally keeping you from relapses. Amazing content! Subscribed of course!

i started taking caffiene in university like currently i take weekly in form of green tea or coffee once a month ,during high school years no caffiene no cola etc, .i remember i used to do breakfast with freid egg ,butter and bread which was always prepared by mother ,no alcohol no smoking at all, so for it was easy to do nofap my first streak went for 6 months then semen retention was bit hard but i master the art currently closer to 10 month SR,after my graduation i want to help people with my extreme energy, i hope it increases day by day because now i am feeling like it multiplies every next day,female attention is unbelieveable.

i want a dopamine increase pill

For all the nofap community, I want you to start controlling your mind and everything will fall into place. That's it.

Just deep dive on how you can control your mind and try it.

And don't forget to share it.

Thank me later.

Book which helped me : The power of now by echkart tolle.

It is nice to be an artist....reading, writing, Illustrating, exercising, socializing is the bulk of your activities. You limit the other stuff and only allow in what will help your Art.

Bonus Tip : Magnesium L-Threonate ''Magtien'' will help a Great Deal

Day 15 today. The anxiety is still high, still panicking but I feel a bit better.

Bob wanted to say your 90 day guide is a life send. I am in my 4th week now and I reread your guide several times a day to keep motivated. I am definitely feeling the low dopamine and have been in a very low mood almost depressed now for the last 3 weeks, and just like you said in your guide I was thinking of breaking my nofap just to end this down mood. With that said your guide has kept me on the path as it has so far been spot on in its guidance. Just wanted to thank you.

magnesuim chloride/biglycinate + L theanine + lions mane will speed up recovery

Whenever i do dopamine fasting the female attraction thing increase. Why that happens?

If you are only able to fast on one or two dopamine highs, I personally believe a social media fast would be very helpful in speeding up recovery

Hi, I’ve been feeling strange for the last month, one day out of nowhere I woke up and nothing made sense in my life, felt hopeless, depressed and felt a sense of existential void
Assured that I never suffered of depression/anxiety before I started this reboot (19th September)
is it bad if I spend hours on NoFap forums or Reboot videos to keep my mind on track and instruct mysef on this matter? Or do I have to break this new habit too cause it can slow down my reboot? (as I spend time on the screens and it can flood my dopamine receptors that are trying to regrow)

I mean, I also exercise and play music but other than that I watch TV and spend time on my phone, do I have to stop doing it or lessen the screen time? And if I keep doing it, my withdrawals are gonna last forever? I want my normal self back, now it feels like I’m not enjoying anything in my life, will this feeling ever end? Or do I just get used to this strange sense of void? Pls help me understand it

There are guys on the nofap forums who haven’t recorded pied and their overall happiness even after a year. Do you think recovery can take a couple years sometimes?

It has been very effective for me!

Sounds great! Thank you. 🙏
