Successful Rebooter Here - I made a video outlining some keys

Whatsup guys. Hope all is well. I have a good dating life at this point, haven't MO'd to porn in about 6 years nor looked at it in sometime. My journal is here https://forum.rebootnation.org/index.php?threads/16884/

Anyways - I feel like the culture of no fap needs to improve I am starting up a dating channel but wanted to address quitting porn as well. Here is a video that I believe could be helpful to a lot of guys in the nofap/ rebooting community.

Yes, makes sense a lot. Behavior change cannot rely on motivation alone, as I've seen in various videos. And great point at the end, overall existential meaning more important than fleeting emotions as such. I also agree that the "streak" language is unhelpful. For me now, I only think about when I stopped (7 months ago) but I don't call it a streak, it's just me having stopped. We all feel excited about starting something new, but only few persevere: if you rely on the excitement, you set yourself up for failure from the start. It's the same problem with "diets": being on a diet, like being on a streak, logically implies that at some point you'll be off the diet or streak.

Great video with some really helpful tips! Thanks for doing this and sharing. I agree with all three of your points.

Thank you for sharing. Loved the 3rd point particularly. It is not about superpowers, but bringing normalcy back in one's life. I get carried away sometimes and get caught up in this fantasy thing and it is definitely detrimental..
