Around three and a half years ago was the day I put an end to my addiction. Me realising what destructive effects it had on me, coupled with Lucid’s words of courage was enough for me to put an end to it. I have seen this man grow like a flourishing flower throughout this entire time. He has improved, matured and learned from his mistakes just like I, and the majority of us have in our conquest for mental discipline and freedom. Although I am saddened to hear that he had a lapse of judgement, I can assure you he is the exact same man he has worked himself up to. Right now I don’t see the lucid of three years ago. I see a man who has improved so much that he is capable of owning up to his mistake in a heartbeat. Which is something I, and many of us might have hesitated to do. In such a short time this man lost one petal, and grew his roots twice over. Alex I love you man, you know it yourself. You’re an an absolute beast, and when I finally meet you in real life we are gonna have a good laugh about this💪

repost because my other reply got deleted So many people need to see this advice. Almost everyone in "nofap communities" are trying to force themselves out of addiction. So many are doing the same thing over and over and over again, yet they expect a different result every time. That's not how it works. You need faith and understanding, not willpower. (For more information, please read the Purge PMO e-book. I can't express how much I recommend this to those trying to free themselves)

When you miss a day at the gym after 5 years of going, you don’t lose all your progress and return to the start. You still have all the muscle that you built over the years, same applies for nofap. If you relapse on day 1000, you still have the progress from the first 999 days. People shouldn’t beat themselves up so hard after relapsing on a long streak, just keep going like it never happened.

Danm bro, don't worry, we all do relapse, but never stop trying. Nofap has been a life changer for me. Honestly made my life change by 180°

SOMEONE SAID IS LUCID RELAPSING BRO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I needed this video, to understand and reinforce that my ''104 days streak'' is not what I should be celebrating, but the fact I changed a lot of stuff in my life through that. I am not constantly thinking about the streak, but still I don't like the fact that the number pops up once in a while in my day, it makes me believe I'm in some challenge when I am actually doing this as a lifestyle. I think I am not the only person with this idea, and if there's someone I only compare myself with is my old self.

Bro you are making such a positive change for our generation. So many dudes need this guidance🙏

love how you flipped the narrative of this video

The fact that you come on here to "update" says a lot about your character. Your growth as a person is inspirational. I hope this motivates the fellas out there that it's not about the goal or the number of days you abstain it's about the journey. It's a marathon not a sprint!

I love the fact you can be so open with this. 👌

I needed this video lucid. Stop counting. Forgive yourself and don't be too hard on yourself. Love yourself for being human and that humans make mistakes. Get yourself together and keep going. Look within and constantly remind yourself of why and what you are fighting. Stop consuming degenerate media as it will degenerate you

Just a straight up talk to your community, huge respect bro. Thank you for this

This is actually crazy good advice for any addiction, not just nofap. Thank you so much for this video

Love you Lucid. Keep the quality content coming bruv

W video, don't worry lucid, we will always support you even if you break the streak, think of it as a way to remove the people who are only here for one thing about your channel and not about the rest, but I am pretty confident you will continue on your progress positively no matter what you do

Alex you've been a big inspiration in my life. I remember watching your day 300 video and also your advice on life and NoFap.

I am glad that you have brought this to light. ❤ Thank you

Hats off to you Alex. Humble enough to acknowledge you're fallible like we all are. But you don't give up on your progress even if u went one step backwards. I'm in the same struggle so very relatable. Keep up the struggle. God bless

Literally the longest time I lasted was because I stopped counting. It was about 100+ days and I felt amazing every step of the way. I've seen your videos for years and it helped me change my perspective entirely on the activity as a whole. Keep making good videos. I'll support this message forever

I appreciate you uploading this video, I see nothing wrong with touching yourself just don't do it everyday, or weekly or if you do, do it with intention. Stay away from Pron of course but beat yourself up, just try best to love the process!

About 2 years or so ago I came across your videos on NoFap and I told my friend me and him should try to completely stay away from it to the highest extent we could, so we went on the journey there was quite a few times where I almost quit and after 400+ days I realized I really didn't have the problem that I had before I started, the whole point of me starting NoFap really was to overcome my addiction and I did so I decided to end my amazing streak that I slowly realized is just a number and I no longer had an addiction I'm not saying I went back to doing it all the time cause I wanted to, Although I have lost my streak I still am moderate about it and I've done so much better for myself and improved so much as a person so I'm so glad for your videos and I'm glad for Nofap ❣

Thank you so much man, this is exactly what I needed right now. For so long after constantly breaking my streaks, I've really have felt like human garbage. But now I understand that it's not about the numbers. There's no reset button that I accidentally pushed. Through every failure I've grown into a better person. I've never really reset myself, I've just kept moving forward and overcoming every hardship in my way. And this attitude is exactly what I need to be a successful entrepreneur in my life. Thank you man.

Lucid you should be proud of how far you've come man. Some individuals can't get passed one week. It's extremely understandable. I just really hate how children are exposed to pornographic videos at such a young age. I didn't know about porn until it was introduced to me at like around 13 years old. Honestly there are siblings and other individuals who teach these young children about this type of content. It is honestly disturbing. I thank you for voicing your challenges Lucid Thank you.

"It's not how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can GET HIT and keep moving forward!" Big love bro. That's a great way to see this whole NoFap thing that I honestly never thought of: Thank you.

great job man, you finally said it, the count days = ego is facts there is no reason to stop, the fact that you still haven't quit thinking about how to not do it again is just a super progress than not even thinking about how to get rid of it, keep it going people, ain't no stupid pixels weakening us!

Bro, mad respect for making a video admitting your flaws. Really inspiring. Big ups.

No matter whats going on, i hope you are doing well my homie

I wish this video came out sooner, I went 15 days without fap and felt great, but once I broke the streak I felt bad and I constantly tried to get back to that streak(which im still doing). This video changed my whole perspective on nofap, I view nofap from a different perspective here onwards after having watching this video. Thank you.

This is inspirational. I'm days ahead of even Lucid. Counting days is also fine because it's a means to an end. So what, as long as it gets us to where we need to be. It's not negative or nasty, it's a way we can get to where you are. It's about mindset, which is kind of what you said, but you have to keep that mindset, and breaking it at all is bad for me, so ill stay against that. Thanks. We are obviously still here as your audience

I actually really appreciate this. I was doing so well even if it was just like 3 weeks I haven’t done that well in so long and when I fell I thought it was all over but I know it’s not. And seeing it happen to someone I look up to is kind of reassuring that it can happen to anyone and we can pick ourselves back up. It’s not over

I’ve noticed when lucid was talking about the egotistical aspect of the challenge and it seemed very true. Personally I’ve noticed that anything that we complete or accomplish in or our lives we seem to want to share with others to get attention or justification. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but we got watch ourselves when it comes to that stuff. Self awareness plays a big role when it comes to any decision or things you say. Think of it as a main character in a game that is 3rd person and you get to choose different scenarios. That’s enough rambling from me, i need some work also.

I used to have a severe pornography addiction before I found this channel. Lucid really changed my life and helped me to see how big of a problem pornography is in the modern world. I stopped watching porn entirely over a year ago and my life has been so much better since. I don’t need pornography, I don’t need to fap anymore, I don’t have the same problems socializing or talking to women anymore, I’m in a happy relationship doing good in college. Moral of the story, quit porn, keep watching Lucid.

I am so grateful u put out this video I just found it and you seem like u honestly want to help people. This made me change my mind and start my goal of Nofap for real this time. To make me understand the little things and make me happy again. Thank You

Sad man it’s alright bro we all go though this

I have a counter on my phone but I dont care for the days. But I do like having it because I like to know how far I’ve come. I’ve never felt devastated from a relapse. It happens and we just go to move forward. Just like the crazy streak you had, you showed its possible. All my friends are about no fap and its so cool how honest we are about our streaks.

valuable advice. if you break it once, stay disciplined, don't keep relapsing because its gonna make it worse

this is crazy bro, just yesterday i was thinking about starting the journey to quit, i've been addicted to P for way to long and seeing u talking about its definitely a sign. i first found u around 50k subs and kinda stopped watching around 100K. i see u grown my boy happy for you almost at 900k congrats u deserve it.

What I learnt about nofap is to not concentrate on the streak because the whole point of it is to get it out of your mind. Nofap streaks defeat the point because it will make you constantly think about it. and count the days when you shouldn't which will gaurentee a relapse. When you do so, think of it as a checkpoint, not a reset- that is my nofap advice!

I've been watching you for more than a yr. My first longest streak was 31 days and i remember edging took me off. I was like "i'll just take a peak at hornpub without relapsing" . You can tell how i completely under estimated the enemy i was trying to fight. I ended up relapsing for the next 2 months straight as if my body was trying to revenge that i had kept it 31 days porn free. Now i'm more than 3 month on nofap and just as you said, porn is like the cigarette. Releasing is not the issue, it's how it happens.

I’ve 360 no scoped dolphin dived back to day 0 once too many times and it made me realize I’m just make it harder on myself from a minor hiccup. Great video Lucid 👍

Hamza has a great way of circumventing the streak problem, thinking about the goal of nofap being getting to the "golden point" which is the point where you forget that nofap exists because engaging in that stuff isnt even on your mind

"Don't count the days. Make the days count" -ICEcold JT

My advice for those who want to beat this addiction is to analyze their feelings while they are "doing it". Do you feel loneliness, a lack of affection, boredom, a lack of meaning in life? Eventually you have to realize that porn/pleasure is only an ILLUSION. Illusion that will never replace the reality which is love and true connection. Try to focus more on your soul, on your emotions.

After being addicted for 10 years and struggling to give up for 4 of those years I have finally and confidently say I am finished with P and fapping. I'm something like 3 months clean and haven't counted days once in all of this. I'm just done with it and not obsessing over numbers. All the other millions of times I tried to quit I counted my streaks and would relapse and fall into a binge of catching up on all that I missed. I let myself get depressed and upset for weeks and months about it. I went to counselling and everything but at the end of the day the thing that really made me stop (and I know to some people its cringe) was God. I promised God I wod stop and take care of myself. I'm not telling people that's the only way to quit but just wanted to share how I done it. I've given up P and recently given up caffeine too, next is nic and I'm just constantly on this journey to take care of my mind soul and body. Thank you Lucid for your advice, experiences and amazing content over all these years you and other creators truly changed my life for the better, seriously alot of love💜

Thanks, Really went down bad after doing well for 2 weeks. I need this

It’s not about a streak. It’s about the percentages. It’s how often you do it.

I am really glad you talked about this toxic perspective of streaks. You are not back to nothing once your streak has ended. The progress you have made remains.

make "no fap" a lifestyle, something that you just simply dont do, you arent that person anymore. counting the days keeps you emotionally attained to it, basically making the numbers the way you feel, but when you finally let go of that, and just start living, not associating that feeling with your old habits. when that feeling arises, you dont associate it with that action, but you associate it as a normal feeling continuing with your day.

Stay strong brother! Inspired me many times in my Nofap journey!

Around 8-9 months ago I stopped hitting n1c. I broke the streak around last week because I was very stressed because of school, and family member death. But that isnt a excuse. After seeing this video it has givin me a slap in the face that said "Just because you hit it once doesn't mean its broken. Keep moving forward". Thank you lucid for this video it means a lot and it has gotten my brain outta the gutter.

My longest streak was year and a half. Started nofap again because I found out I have an illness that is triggered by ejaculating. Every time I release, I immediately get bad depression and brain fog so now I plan to just give up releasing, but keeping my desensitized outlook on adult content
