I'm not a gambling addict but I get hooked into other bad stuffs and one of those is watching porn. Well, we all know that watching porn is normal and it is a part of being a man but honestly I come to the point that I want to stop it already because I noticed that it slowly ruins my life not only on the physical aspect (such as being lazy and always tired) but also to my mentality. In order to stop my "a little bit" addiction to porn, I seek some advice through google. I research about the benefits of
NoFap, watch testimonies from those who completed the 30 day nofap challenge and other ways to stop my habit. But in the end, I failed; all the information that I gained from my research remain as knowledge and I didn't put into actions. Did you know the feeling that your brain know what is right but your body refuse to do so because the urge was so strong? That's what I felt that time. And unfortunately, the things became even worse when my girlfriend and I got a quarrel regarding this.
But with God's grace, I finally overcome that bad habit. What I did is
I set my fear as my motivation. I'm feared that my girlfriend will continue to have bad impression to me, lose trust on me and leave me but instead of getting frustrated I used those possibilities to fix myself. So for those people who have gambling addiction or addiction of any form, set your loved ones as your motivation. Imagine the worst thing that could possibly go wrong or the pain you might bring to them if you continue your addiction, for sure you will feel remorseful after. Now use it as your driving force to change
