So let me explain what exactly happen using the analogy of what I call the toxic friend. Let me explain what exactly is a toxic friend. Imagine that you had a friend for over 10 years that's been around with you through the good and the bad, that you've been hanging around with a lot in the past, that you had a ton of fun with. You had some bad times with him, but you also really liked hanging around with him, okay? After those 10 years, you recently realize he's actually like very toxic. He's been insulting you for the past few months, he's been bringing you down, he's not been the same. And you realize that maybe it is time for you to cut him off and either stop talking to him or just tell him that you don't want to be friends with him anymore. But at the same time, he's been a part of your life for so long that it will feel weird for you to move on from him, right? But you know that if you actually move on from him, it will benefit your life greatly. What you might expect, okay, is you're gonna cut off that toxic friend, let's say, and you might feel feel a few things. Now you'll see why this relates perfectly to PMO. That toxic friend, once you leave him behind, okay, remember he's been a part of your life for so long, you had such a great time with him. At first you leave him behind, you might feel a bit empty. It's like when you're going out of school, you used to hang out with him, now he's not with you anymore. So you kind of like feel a bit weird about it. It's like, you know, it used to be the way for you to have pleasure in life and now you're just there sitting with your own thoughts doing nothing. It feels a bit weird. You spend your evening in your home instead of being out with him, which makes you feel a bit empty. On top of that, you might think from time to time, well, no, actually, I wish I could hang out with him, and we had such a great time. It was so fun when I was with him that you're like, yeah, kind of like feel the desire to go and play with him again, even though it's toxic. And on top of that, you have habitual thoughts. Habitual thoughts is basically because the behavior or a person has been a part of of your life for so long without your own will, think about the times you spent with him or think about hanging out with him, even if you might not even feel the desire to do so, right? So maybe you'll start reflecting back on how you spent all of these years with him and it'll just like be in the back of your mind basically, right? You feel all of those things, okay? But here's the thing. Now let's say that toxic friend, it's been about a month that he's not been a part of your life anymore, okay? Like you completely cut him off. You don't even wanna spend another second with him. Now you don't even, talk to them anymore, right? What is going to happen now that that toxic friend is not a part of your life anymore? You're going to look back at that toxic friend and realize, actually, I have way more fun now, and I feel way better that I'm by myself, or that now that I made new friends, or that now I'm doing different things than when I was hanging out with them. It's like you finally realize, oh look, yeah, I had the desire to go back and hang out with that friend. Yeah, I was feeling empty because I was not He was not a part of my life anymore. Yeah, I was thinking about him a lot, but now you realize your life is just way better without that constant negativity that it was bringing into your relationship. It's almost as if, let's say you just met a girl and you guys become partners, but you realize she was extremely toxic. She would constantly make you just hang out with her and constantly create problems and troubles and everything. And at one point you decide to just cut her off 'cause you're like, man, she's causing all of these problems in my life. I don't want her to be a part of my life anymore. At first, you might sort of like feel like you miss out on that love, on these different aspects of validation and a feminine presence and all of those benefits. But now that she's not a part of your life and now you live your life without her and you adapted to that, you realize your life is way better. You don't have someone causing you problems 24/7. Instead, you can live in peace. You don't have someone constantly bringing up drama and constantly creating trouble. Now you can finally work on your projects and you find way more meaning in your projects. And so with PMO, the same exact thing happens. It's just with different factors in place. That toxic friend or that toxic relationship, at first, once you leave it, but of course you'll feel a bit empty because it's been a part of your life. Of course, that desire to go back to that friend or that relationship is going to be there. It doesn't mean it's going to be strong. It doesn't mean you'll feel like extremely empty. You'll just feel slightly those things. And of course you're gonna think about that woman or that friend. But then once you spend a few days, a few weeks, and the key thing is you adapt, you let go, and you move on from those relationships, you'll realize that, oh look, my life without that thing is actually 10 times better. Whatever benefit I was getting from that toxic relationship, because there were benefits, from that toxic friend, doesn't even matter anymore. And you can finally look at those relationships from an objective, from a rational standpoint, because you now have a different perspective. It's like you now compare your life without that relationship and your life without the relationship, and you realize your life without the relationship is like 100 times better. Same thing is going to happen with porn. Once you leave PMO behind, you'll feel a bit empty. You'll feel maybe the desire to go back. You'll maybe think about the different scenes, you'll have flashbacks, and it's totally normal. You don't even have to worry about that. That doesn't mean you'll come back to it. You only come back to it if you, with your own free will, you choose to do so. But then you'll finally gain a new perspective, especially if you've been watching my videos and you learned how to debunk all of the benefits associated with porn, meaning that you really remove the value that you attach to it on an unconscious and also a conscious level. And now you have two different perspectives. You have the perspective of your life with porn and masturbation, then the perspective of your life without porn and masturbation, and you'll realize my life is way better without this. "Let me just move on from this." But now here's the key thing. People then make the mistake after making that realization because yes, sometimes a lot of people tell me, "Look, Samir, I've realized my life is way better without this, but then I come back to it." What is the number one mistake they do? They constantly put leaving porn and masturbation behind on a pedestal. They constantly watch videos about that. They put all of their focus and attention on that rather than just naturally moving on. Think about it. We can relate this same example to video games. Okay, let's start with video games. I played video games for 16 hours a day sometimes in the past. I haven't played actively video games myself for over 2 years, except for a few times when I was at a friend's house because I basically had to, right? And at first, when I decided to stop playing video games, I kind of like felt a bit empty. I had the desire to go back to video games, and I remembered vividly. I was like, man, I wish I could go back to— I was like, man, what if I played video games? I would have so much fun. But I also, at the same time, in the back of my mind, I was like, yeah, but it's not really going to be worth it, man. It's lonely, there's not much to do playing video games, whatever. And I was thinking about it a lot, okay, a lot. But then as I live my life, I move on from, from video games. I wasn't watching videos about, oh, once you leave video games, you'll get these benefits, once here's the new tip to quit video games. I didn't think about that. Instead, I focused on other important aspects of my life and made me living my life without video games as my normal state, meaning I wasn't even thinking about playing video games. It was like, it was almost as if I never played video games in my entire life and I was living a completely different life. Same thing will happen with PMO. You'll forget that NoFap is even a thing, that you'll need to count the days, that you need to watch this other NoFap video so that you can learn to quit. That you need to constantly keep yourself busy so that you don't fall into the urges. You'll just move on from it and it will become your new normal state. Same thing here, those relationships, now that you left them behind, your new normal state will be you without those relationships. And so that's what you can expect. And with anything that you leave behind that either doesn't give you any inherent value or that has a lot of consequences and costs and downsides, you'll be gaining a lot from it. You'll be able to gain a ton of benefits from it. For example, you'll have, you'll probably feel better. You'll feel more happy if you leave those types of relationships behind. With PMO, you'll have, you'll feel closer to God if you're a believer. You'll have objectively more time, more mental energy, more focus and attention. With video games, it's pretty much the same thing. With that toxic relationship with that woman, you'll be able to have peace of mind. You'll be able to focus on yourself more and improve other aspects of your life and many more benefits. So expect maybe those things to happen, but don't worry about it because as human beings, we are very resilient and we can adapt to pretty much anything. Think about it. Let's just compare two different scenarios. If you feel a bit uncomfortable once you leave a behavior behind like PMO, just know, and I'm not saying this to tell you to just stand up, but just know that there are people that live in harsh realities. If you've read the book Man's Search for Meaning, where these humans were in concentration camps in World War II and literally adapted to the horrible conditions they were in, where they were literally starving to death, they were being overworked as slaves, basically, they were separated from their own families and they were left alone with random people, and they still found ways to be happy. They still found ways to have hope. They still found ways to survive. They still found ways to do many things. So you don't have to worry about that slight feeling of emptiness, that slight feeling of a desire to go back or thinking about PMO. The number one thing that will mess up everything is if you constantly fear and worry about it because it doesn't serve you. And when you're in fear, you usually don't make any rational decisions and you're not able to look at things for what they are objectively. You only look at it from an emotional perspective, which is oftentimes the wrong perspective.
