I never thought I would see lucid doing gardening, but real talk, this video just changed my whole mindset about nofap and it all makes sense now. I struggled all these years trying to cut off small parts of the problem without actually looking at the root. thank you Lucid.
Ok that's it, I'm done with porn, I hate being weak, I hate not having a girlfriend, I hate looking at women with lust, starting now I will no longer be a slave to porn. I hate not being confident, I want to change and I'm going to change, wish me luck and I wish luck to those who are going through the same thing and is ready to change, God bless you Lucid you've lit the fire in me again Edit: hey thanks for all the likes and support guys I must admit that I fell multiple times recently after something that that happened that I'd rather not talk about. I was around 2 months clean but I fell back into it. I am feeling motivated again and I will keep going and I hope that I can stop this for good, not only for my friends and family, but also for you guys who are also struggling, we got this 💪
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
@@alandingleton6975 Yeah ok so I have asked many people and they basically said this, once you find the root cause and you are 101% sure it is that you will know what to do to take down the addiciton. If you got any more questions you can ask me good luck in your jounrey soldier

@@blackwiiremote lol thank you I was so confused reading that. 635 days is almost 2 years why is he acting like that’s around the corner 😭😭😭 big props to Lucid though
@@yoursenpai9252 I wanted to do an actual review of my journey on day 365 in the discord, but I'll give you a short run-down: this is my 2nd actual try, first one lasted 62 days, after that I gave in to my needs. 26/27 (don't remember correctly) days later I decided to go back to NoFap. Ever since this second run I have barely been horny, max for like 30 seconds and I don't think about jerking off, I have clearer thoughts, I eat mor healthy, work out more, etc.
Thanks to you I’m 5 months NoFap and 7 months No P. I’ve changed a lot since then, I’ve started to work out more, started to overcome my social anxiety, tried more food, and did things I didn’t know were possible when I first started. All this happened because of you and I can never thank you enough.
The saddest part of pornography is the number of people I see who are compulsively encouraging others to fap and watch it. You know, looking at it from my perspective, it is pretty much a drug attached to your body. You don't need money, effort, hard work or anything to actually fulfil this evergrowing desire as all it takes is a single thought, and a few minutes and just like that, you've accomplished nothing. This entire topic is usually swept under the rug, and more people are normalising this habit rather than trying to prevent it. My own PDHPE teacher would classify this habit as a "normal and healthy way to relieve stress", and the next thing you know, you have half the class addicted. Even in science class back in years 7 and 8, my teachers encouraged it. Even though I don't blame them entirely, it's still partly their fault as that moment I heard my elderly science teacher classify a habit i thought was disgusting as usual just led me to my very own downfall, which I am struggling to recover from. Like lucid said, you can't run away from problems as it will only make the problem bigger. Find the root cause and tear that to shreds; otherwise, good luck because your most certainly going to need it.
Hey you are just saying facts! the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like you said "rip it to shreads" but what do you actually mean?
@@ItsJustTech Well. You just need to find the exact reason as to why you keep relapsing and make sure to eliminate it completely rather than just letting it grow. It was just a figure of speech which illustrates how the root cause should be dealt with. Dont let that habit grow just tear it away from your conscious mind and keep it out for good, otherwise what's the point of feeding it and trying to stop when you have failed to identify the real reason as to why you keep failing.
I feel like pornography is a bit like the asbestos in paint. at the time, everyone was okay with it and it was useful in paint but soon later we realised it was bad for us. pornography is something new and we don't have enough information on it that's why people encourage it because they don't know the side effects.
Weed’s an addiction also. Don’t use another bad habit to destroy the current one just because a lot of your friends and internet picture you weed as this “harmless” and “natural” habit, it’s not.
Ignoring that he's talking about NOfap, the main point he got across speaks volumes about how to properly deal with depression. The core points he brought up and the metaphor itself is unisex. More people should watch this video
Exactly, substitute "no fap" for any other negative habit in your life and the philosophy applies. An ugly root is deep in your mind that you must pull out.
I made a video just in case one of the boys failed in nnn, i think it would help whoever is reading this. it means the world to me if you check it out! 😀
I finally came to adress the elephant and ask myself the question right after finishing, instead of rushing to self hatred and post nut clarity regret attack, I asked myself, why was I willingly doing something I hate doing, after dozens if not hundred of times, wasn't the choice to stopping sincere, how much is it going to take me to just, not just stop, but not consider doing this to myself, I hated this hypocrite cycle of failure, and that's it, failure is meant to be learnt from, not to be ashamed of, only angels don't make mistakes, and that's where it clicked, I never tried to look where I emotionally needed help instead of beating myself because of how indesciplined I was, I realised something, I don't go out with friends, don't socialize, don't have something going on or hope to something, I was basically emotionally deprived, and its interesting how everytime I jumped to this habit, was after a certain sense of loneliness, That I unconsiously I wanted to escape asap from, and what could be better than hijacking the most instantly rewarding system, that's it, I came to adress it, it was a coping method for me to numb my helplesness with life, you're probrably seeing things through a blurred lense, listen to your body, urges only mean that you're a functioning as a man, but uncontrollably responding to them, means you're emotionally in need.
He's right about the pulling it out from the root. When he said since day 0 he already knew he would be at day 1400, that was the exact same mindset I had and now we at day 199.
@@Discaptured it’s not. by root he mostly meant subconscious ideas (like traumas or experiences for example) that lead you to an addiction like watching porn or masturbating. watching porn and social media is definitely a trigger for most of us but it’s not the root. it’s the same with any type of addiction. doing an introspection is a really hard work specially if you’re not being supported by a specialist and that sucks, remember our subconscious mind rules a big part of what we are and what we experience through life
no fap and semen retention are 2 different things. If lucid has sex it wont restart his no fap streak. However it will restart his semen retention streak.
You are a genious. Yes the root, the trauma - the wound. And it is not just sex, porn its the same with all addictions. I think it all comes down to not being loved in some way. And we seek the Love in the addiction. The Illusion of Love. And they say that Love is the cure for all. I wish the best to all, let we overome it and be in harmony.
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
It means that your addiction was feeding on the root. Now, once you have found the root, you can literally destroy the addiction completely just like Lucid found the roots of the weed and it got destroyed
The amount of people I look up on this planet, I could count on a single hand. My friend lucid.. you are one of them. Never stop making videos brother!
What a beautiful metaphorical ideology of Nofap and Porn you’ve come up with Lucid. And absolute genius that all young men need in this day in age. Honestly this is extremely motivational. ❤️
@@ItsJustTech well for example. I’ve been trying to find myself for a while you know meditation, brain storming being alone, watching my thought and have come to the conclusion that I may have started watching porn to fit in. Now for me fitting in makes sense because I’ve always tried to do that in life. So to combat this I do stuff that isn’t know to fit in but at the same time is something healthy and productive that could be seen as fitting in like exercise for example. It’s all to do with you’re mind

reached day 20 and lost. i lost because i didn't experience any benefits that everyone claims to experience and for a short moment i stopped giving a fuck and yeah, i lost. maybe i just need more time? i just want to stop not knowing how to talk to people. i just hate being that one guy that is just socially awkward. i want to stop being so introverted. i want to have a girlfriend some day. i want to start going through life confidently without having to feel the stress, anxiety and pain of just being around people and not knowing what the fuck to say, which is i think the root reason i started fapping; to relieve that stress that's going to build up the next day again, again and again. that's the last time i lose a streak. i want to be a person that people can talk to without it always ending up being just an awkward conversation. i could cry every night. it just hurts being my current self. thank you, Lucid. thank you for the motivation and new mindset.
You sound a lot like me. I remember working at Panda Express at 17 and for the life of me couldn’t speak normally to people, I was shot down and referred to as having a “school shooter vibe” by the alpha people or socially adequate working at the time. To face this seemingly insurmountable inferiority I started reading my ass off and keeping a poem journal. I loved hip hop and was bad at writing and wanted to get better, soI just started building a résumè of writing and soon a rapport was easier to establish with my coworkers. The topic of porn is an entirely different issue and has ruined my self-esteem in multiple relationships. I’m turning 21 and haven’t jacked off since oct. 30th. Through meditation and not allowing myself around my usual triggers, this is the longest I’ve been clean probably since 8th grade or something. You just have to accept your starting from the bottom and take baby steps across the hot coals. Love yourself, your probably still young, it’s never to late to turn your awkwardness around. Writing and reading helps alot alot alot.
I finally realized that what happened to me was that pretty early middle school all of my friends where getting girlfriends and I felt jealous that everyone else was getting a close happy relationship and I wasn’t because I’m Muslim. Then i started watching porn to fill that void to feel I was loved by a girl. Inshallah today starts day one of destroying my porn addiction. May Allah forgive me and all of my brothers and sisters that are addicted to porn. Thanks lucid for helping me realize what happened.
I took the advice. I found a hobby. I started playing football. It really helped. For a few hours everyday after school I would be doing something beneficial for me and keeping me away from it, but at the end of the day, I come back to my room, away from the sports, away from my friends, away from school, back to my problems

The root of your addiction is the identity you have about your addiction. You subconsciously believe you’re a wanker so you act in a way that solidifies your identity.
@@mTrader1 tell yourself in your head that you don’t fap and really believe it, And don’t indulge in your sexual thoughts. And keep your hands out of your pants.
Thanks Lucid for this video Bro. I got really emotional just by watching it and seeing how most of us, me included have a wrong mindset about solving problems. Thanks for clarifying that we always need to look further into ourselfes. Many of us don't do this as much as we should do it. But when we do it, we will see the benefits of it because we get ourselves known much better. We understand why we do what we do. We understand why we are in our life where we are. And last but not least: We understand why we are here on earth and what our task is. I really apreciate the hard work you put in your videos. They are helping me a lot on my way on getting to another level of conciousness. These videos are just pure GOLD, because of the massive value you bring us guys here on RUclips who have to deal with certain addictions. Please never stop with this : )
I want to quit Pmo because I feel sick and tired of this life that I live everyday. It’s gotten so bad that my wood isn’t sensitive anymore. I’m ashamed of my addiction and I want to get rid of it, however my willpower is so weak that I don’t even have control of my body no more. IM DONE. Starting Sunday October 24 at 12:13pm, I officially start Nofap. Wish me luck.
i have watched many videos on nofap, and this is the most sophisticated and most helpful video, the pulling our the root from your head was a perfect example.
I caught onto this thought this morning: “The same 2-3 min/hours used to scroll through Social Media, is the exact same 2-3 min/hours you should be using to ask yourself ‘why’ do you indulge in activity.” Very well said, brother. I hope those who needed to see this video will finally catch on💚
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
@@ItsJustTech - Depending on the issue, once you've identified it, ask yourself why you indulge in it. Research it. You need to look deep within yourself as to WHY you chose to let it grow for so long and why do you continue to link to it. You'll know what you need to do once you've found the roots.
this video made me pull out my journal, think for 2 hours about my childhood and my past and then i discovered so much about myself. thankyou lucid this video was gold
You inspired me to begin my no fap journey long ago and here I am, day 439 still going strong. Came to check out this video for entertainment and educational purposes and boy was I surprised. This doesn’t even have to be about no fap at all. This could literally be applied to any addiction, great video hopefully this once again helps me solve any of my problems or addictions. Stay blessed ❤️💯
i love that this message is so wholesome it can literally be applied to any other stubborn patterns and behavior we trynna fix once and for all in life ❤️ best advice yet, Lucid senpai!
This video described me exactly. I’ve added all these good habits yet continue to struggle. Now I know I have to find the root. Awesome video thank you
A really nice way of explaining it using a plant. No matter how much you snip the leaves, it continues to grow. Only you can pull out the root to end your addiction.
Lucid man, this is all make sense now. Man, I've been dodging all my problems, always relying on people's advice doing this and that, but in the end all it did was get worst and worst. Thank God I came about this video because now I know what I should be doing. Looking at this in the perspective of how you show it with your nofap, this is a relieve and bought my mind at peace! Lucid, I thank you a lot , God bless you my man! Stay dreaming, stay lucid!🤩✌🏾💯
I truly find it necessary to find a motivation in your life, however obscure. It must be something that will NEVER extinguish. Everyone has one they just haven't wondered deep enough into their personality yet. NEVER GIVE UP
Buddy thank you very much for this video! I agree 100% Let's keep growing Stop with porn Stop whatever addictions We need to stop being self-destructive And honor ours lives living it the best we can, taking care of ourselves with love and compassion Let's go guys we can do this 💪🏽
While I'm not severely addicted to the point I'm Lusting over girls and don't have self confidence in myself. This video has motivated to quit because while I do have alot of hobbies it's just a habit that a distraction and porn too. I recently quit watching sports because it was wasting my time and destroying opportunities in my life. I wanna become the best person I can be
love a different approach at this. thank you for speaking out about stuff like this, it’s all the same “find hobbies”, “do this do that”. also - great analogy my man.
this style of video is amazing. and the message hit home but lets be real even if your message hits deep Im gonna forget about it because im gonna consume so much other content today. idk why i wrote this whatever imma just comment it anyways.
I literally get a lot of good vibes from you man, you really motivate me to get my ass up and do something productive, kudos to you mate for 1000 days. 💯✨🙏🏻
Lucid. Youre truly something different man. love how the plant is off in the distance but out of focus kinda like its the subconscious in a literal sense. this is basically telling us to do shadow work. to meditate. to just stop running away from what were all destined to be doing. dude i have no words. this shit took me away
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
@@ItsJustTech You must practice undoing what caused those feelings. For example, if your root comes from the pain of what others did to you, then you must practice forgiveness, to yourself, and to others. All you need to overcome this is within you.
Bro, Lucid, this video really changed my life. After 3 years of failing and having flimsy attempts like "nofap motivational videos", I finally made up my mind to come across the fucking weed that's been hiding deep in there, the pain I was hiding from into even more pain. Man, this is eye-opening, literally. I finally freaking made the realization of what was the root cause of it all. Guys, I really recommend that you take on this journey of meditation, or whatever it is that will get you to the answer: introspective thinking, questioning yourself, you name it. I was too lazy to spend some time with myself so I ended up with clarity the hard way. 30 hours of porn, shame and disgust later. Believe that you will find the weed, and pull the shit out of it. This is as real as it gets. Stop trying to find ways around it. It won't work if you make attemps you yourself know ain't gonna work. You will at last find a deep sense of assurance, and then you'll know you can draw a straight line below this experience, and learn something out of it. God bless you all!
Hello bro. I'm 16 years old and I've been addicted to PMO for years now and I need help to find the root cause. Could it be growing up without a father? Not much empathy shown when I was younger so I was filling the pain with PMO thinking that's love? WHAT IS IT I WANT TO BE FREE PLEASE
@@Seba-ch3yq I'm not sure but I always dreamed of being successful. Wealthy, healthy both physically and psyhically, having a worked body etc.. basically I always had the hunger to become the best version of myself and live the life freely and the way I want to.
@@Seba-ch3yq This is day 2 and it's almost midnight. I NEVER passed day 2. I DID IT. I meditated deeply and I found it. I'm also feeling sad and mixed emotions and I know it's me healing and finally facing my problems and what I've running from. I GOT THIS BRO
My nofap journey of 3 years has been very life changing. My only purpose to start nofap was to become as smart and physically powerful as possible. Everyday I used to read about 150 pages of any book which took me 3 hours of reading and understanding. Then, exercise for 4 hours continually and pushing myself to the hardest level. Then have some time to play chess for half an hour and study Mathematics and physics. I feel like the next version of human being(superhuman). Literally, there is no problem that I have faced after all of this. My only goal was to see how much better I can be in every single area of life. With that being said, I pray 5 times and have some time to concentrate and understand my religion Islam in depth. All of these achievements and habits make me 1% in human population. Finally, now I feel better.
thanks man I have just worked out and found the root cause through deep thinking and putting my thoughts into a piece of paper. And now I am on one week of nofap and didn't feel urges or had a thought of fapping . Even in very hard situations where i would go and fap but now I am calm and steady to face the thing. hope I never stop this journey and become a best version of myself
My friend reccomended me to start watching Pornography and to start fapping, I was 11. Now im 15 and 859 days on NoFap, And 1,064 days No P. Thank you lucid, you have helped me recover from this drug in my mind telling me to keep feeding the fire of my addiction, Geniunely thank you.
i really cannot thank you enough for making these videos they mean so much to me and inspired me to really start battling my addiction. so far i have only been able to get a one month streak with no p but i think with 90% certainty that i know why i felt the need to fill this void in my heart and i have already taken a big step towards pulling out those roots its just a little unfortunate that i cant really speed up this process and im just going to have to trim the weeds for a little while before im ready to pull the roots out.
I have never felt like this before not on my highest streaks or my most motivated days I’ve found the reason and I’ve got a new mindset that will without fail, bring me further than I ever have before. Thank you
You know what I’m gonna meditate for 40 minutes right now and set the intention that I want to know what my trauma is and what is causing this habit so I can act on it.
Bro.. you are totaly right.. I relapsed after 5 months sober.. A year ago and fall in the rabit hole even more deeper than before. Thx man from the heart for this million dollars advice
I knew from the last relapse, that this time i am gonna make it, i pulled the root, i got rid of the "wanting to be happy, wanting to feel like every area of life is pink, to forget about the bad that exists near me, to feel and be NORMAL, to enjoy LIFE , to love myself and feeling proud of me" root problem, rn i am at 1+ month clean and i am not going back guys, i will come back with an edit on day 90 in december!
I know no one will read this after a year of this video being posted I was and am still typically alone I haven’t quite figured out why just yet I do this. All I have come up with is physical warmth and the feeling of being alone. And I mean not desire no pity I have struggled with countless obstacles physically but the hardest part about nofap so far is something in my life just killed me I was angry over something I caed too much about and never put actual sweat tears and blood into something I enjoy that makes me happier stronger I haven’t learned my true desire inside of myself but when I comeback to this place I need to have something that compels me and desires me to do better to be better to change what I am and become something incredible
Lucid, I don t know if you ever thought about this, but for the beginners to make progress, no matter how many NoFap videos of yours they watched but only hearing you talking again about NoFap, in many new videos or in livestreams, just if you talk about this problem, they will get motivated.
Man I literally just relapsed, Lord Jesus Christ be with you, man I'm switching to a flip phone so I can confront whatever is within me and end this once and for all
man i love your videos.. i'm keep saying this but i really like your videos... It's really helping me a lot in my life. When i first saw your videos it was pretty good. and then i started watching all the videos that changed my life. It's like a big no fap stratehy story.Keep rocking Homie!
This is true, Very trur, thanks for pointing that out. Screw behavioral self therapy... There is no shame for seeking out help by an professional. Do it.
I never thought I would see lucid doing gardening, but real talk, this video just changed my whole mindset about nofap and it all makes sense now. I struggled all these years trying to cut off small parts of the problem without actually looking at the root. thank you Lucid.

@@SevenHunnid Ok... and? Why did you have to make something about yourself?? Women these days
I finally came to adress the elephant and ask myself the question right after finishing, instead of rushing to self hatred and post nut clarity regret attack, I asked myself, why was I willingly doing something I hate doing, after dozens if not hundred of times, wasn't the choice to stopping sincere, how much is it going to take me to just, not just stop, but not consider doing this to myself, I hated this hypocrite cycle of failure, and that's it, failure is meant to be learnt from, not to be ashamed of, only angels don't make mistakes, and that's where it clicked, I never tried to look where I emotionally needed help instead of beating myself because of how indesciplined I was, I realised something, I don't go out with friends, don't socialize, don't have something going on or hope to something, I was basically emotionally deprived, and its interesting how everytime I jumped to this habit, was after a certain sense of loneliness, That I unconsiously I wanted to escape asap from, and what could be better than hijacking the most instantly rewarding system, that's it, I came to adress it, it was a coping method for me to numb my helplesness with life, you're probrably seeing things through a blurred lense, listen to your body, urges only mean that you're a functioning as a man, but uncontrollably responding to them, means you're emotionally in need.
Can you tell me about your current condition?
Wow that’s a very powerful analogy 🤯
7:00 LOLLLLL🤣🤣 I agree lucid
hahahaha love that genuine ending
He's right about the pulling it out from the root. When he said since day 0 he already knew he would be at day 1400, that was the exact same mindset I had and now we at day 199.
@Helal Vodka init bro😂 I will do introspection but I would appreciate it if someone gave their perspective on what their root was
@Helal Vodka the root is porn.. I think. That's what got me into it
@Helal Vodka the root could also be social media and other triggers
@@Discaptured it’s not. by root he mostly meant subconscious ideas (like traumas or experiences for example) that lead you to an addiction like watching porn or masturbating. watching porn and social media is definitely a trigger for most of us but it’s not the root. it’s the same with any type of addiction. doing an introspection is a really hard work specially if you’re not being supported by a specialist and that sucks, remember our subconscious mind rules a big part of what we are and what we experience through life
@@juandiegoconsciente1225 true
Ngl this might be one of the few videos where I genuinely cried a bit. Thank you lucid
Lucid getting married and Making a video next day "It's done😔" is the only reason I wanna live
Underrated comment
@ツxxxShafxxx he didn’t but when it happens
I would love it if Lucid gets married to a beautiful woman, he deserves it.
@@comet6740 😫
no fap and semen retention are 2 different things. If lucid has sex it wont restart his no fap streak. However it will restart his semen retention streak.
You are a genious. Yes the root, the trauma - the wound. And it is not just sex, porn its the same with all addictions. I think it all comes down to not being loved in some way. And we seek the Love in the addiction. The Illusion of Love. And they say that Love is the cure for all. I wish the best to all, let we overome it and be in harmony.
the way he makes no cuts in this video but just spits uninterrupted fire for 7 minutes without a single stutter
Bro, no pun intended, you went back to your roots here. I remember when you had
I think he’s in he’s 21. Not late 20’s
@@gamer-ni5kl he was talking about himself
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
It means that your addiction was feeding on the root. Now, once you have found the root, you can literally destroy the addiction completely just like Lucid found the roots of the weed and it got destroyed
@@umeshkashyap6070 Sorry for asking but what do you mean like what do i do practically say its all because i am lonely what do i do?
The amount of people I look up on this planet, I could count on a single hand. My friend lucid.. you are one of them. Never stop making videos brother!
I don’t know why but urges don’t affect me anymore, being mindful of my thoughts and not being critical helped me immensely
going biking everyday and ice cold baths helped with the urges
@@juniorking6810 some people even Fast!
Im Trying It’s amazing how the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that people should fast and take cold baths whenever they feel the same desires.

I saw this quote on the NoFap Reddit. “Desire makes slaves out of kings, but Patience makes Kings out of slaves.” - Al Ghazali
What a beautiful metaphorical ideology of Nofap and Porn you’ve come up with Lucid. And absolute genius that all young men need in this day in age. Honestly this is extremely motivational. ❤️
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what do you actually mean?
@@ItsJustTech well for example. I’ve been trying to find myself for a while you know meditation, brain storming being alone, watching my thought and have come to the conclusion that I may have started watching porn to fit in. Now for me fitting in makes sense because I’ve always tried to do that in life. So to combat this I do stuff that isn’t know to fit in but at the same time is something healthy and productive that could be seen as fitting in like exercise for example. It’s all to do with you’re mind
@@scoweee ohh ok! thank you!
I made a video just in case one of the boys failed in nnn, i think it would help whoever is reading this. it means the world to me if you check it out! 😀
reached day 20 and lost. i lost because i didn't experience any benefits that everyone claims to experience and for a short moment i stopped giving a fuck and yeah, i lost. maybe i just need more time? i just want to stop not knowing how to talk to people. i just hate being that one guy that is just socially awkward. i want to stop being so introverted. i want to have a girlfriend some day. i want to start going through life confidently without having to feel the stress, anxiety and pain of just being around people and not knowing what the fuck to say, which is i think the root reason i started fapping; to relieve that stress that's going to build up the next day again, again and again. that's the last time i lose a streak. i want to be a person that people can talk to without it always ending up being just an awkward conversation. i could cry every night. it just hurts being my current self.
thank you, Lucid. thank you for the motivation and new mindset.
You sound a lot like me. I remember working at Panda Express at 17 and for the life of me couldn’t speak normally to people, I was shot down and referred to as having a “school shooter vibe” by the alpha people or socially adequate working at the time. To face this seemingly insurmountable inferiority I started reading my ass off and keeping a poem journal. I loved hip hop and was bad at writing and wanted to get better, soI just started building a résumè of writing and soon a rapport was easier to establish with my coworkers. The topic of porn is an entirely different issue and has ruined my self-esteem in multiple relationships. I’m turning 21 and haven’t jacked off since oct. 30th. Through meditation and not allowing myself around my usual triggers, this is the longest I’ve been clean probably since 8th grade or something. You just have to accept your starting from the bottom and take baby steps across the hot coals. Love yourself, your probably still young, it’s never to late to turn your awkwardness around. Writing and reading helps alot alot alot.
I finally realized that what happened to me was that pretty early middle school all of my friends where getting girlfriends and I felt jealous that everyone else was getting a close happy relationship and I wasn’t because I’m Muslim. Then i started watching porn to fill that void to feel I was loved by a girl. Inshallah today starts day one of destroying my porn addiction. May Allah forgive me and all of my brothers and sisters that are addicted to porn. Thanks lucid for helping me realize what happened.
mashallah brother
I took the advice. I found a hobby. I started playing football. It really helped. For a few hours everyday after school I would be doing something beneficial for me and keeping me away from it, but at the end of the day, I come back to my room, away from the sports, away from my friends, away from school, back to my problems
I made a video just in case one of the boys failed in nnn, i think it would help whoever is reading this. it means the world to me if you check it out! 😀
Holy sh*t. This hit me straight in to my face. Lucid thank you , i think you just helped me to open my third eye
Praying for you brother, May Allah SWT guide you !
F*ck your allah
I didn't look for this video, it came to me. THANK YOU so much. GOD BLESS YOU
The root of your addiction is the identity you have about your addiction. You subconsciously believe you’re a wanker so you act in a way that solidifies your identity.
What should i think i am then?
@@mTrader1 tell yourself in your head that you don’t fap and really believe it, And don’t indulge in your sexual thoughts. And keep your hands out of your pants.
hmm nice philosphy@@clay3436
Thanks Lucid for this video Bro. I got really emotional just by watching it and seeing how most of us, me included have a wrong mindset about solving problems. Thanks for clarifying that we always need to look further into ourselfes. Many of us don't do this as much as we should do it. But when we do it, we will see the benefits of it because we get ourselves known much better. We understand why we do what we do. We understand why we are in our life where we are. And last but not least: We understand why we are here on earth and what our task is. I really apreciate the hard work you put in your videos. They are helping me a lot on my way on getting to another level of conciousness. These videos are just pure GOLD, because of the massive value you bring us guys here on RUclips who have to deal with certain addictions. Please never stop with this : )
I want to quit Pmo because I feel sick and tired of this life that I live everyday. It’s gotten so bad that my wood isn’t sensitive anymore. I’m ashamed of my addiction and I want to get rid of it, however my willpower is so weak that I don’t even have control of my body no more. IM DONE.
Starting Sunday October 24 at 12:13pm, I officially start Nofap. Wish me luck.
How ya doing bro?
hows it going
Update 🥺
3 weeks later: what's the status now
how is it going?
i have watched many videos on nofap, and this is the most sophisticated and most helpful video, the pulling our the root from your head was a perfect example.
I caught onto this thought this morning: “The same 2-3 min/hours used to scroll through Social Media, is the exact same 2-3 min/hours you should be using to ask yourself ‘why’ do you indulge in activity.”
Very well said, brother. I hope those who needed to see this video will finally catch on💚
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
@@ItsJustTech - Depending on the issue, once you've identified it, ask yourself why you indulge in it. Research it. You need to look deep within yourself as to WHY you chose to let it grow for so long and why do you continue to link to it.
You'll know what you need to do once you've found the roots.
@@DemetriusJay Thank you so much! So do i need to think to myself why i let it grow by meditating and helping myself by eliminating the roots?
@@DemetriusJay so after i found the roots, wich is literally my friend that ive been talking with for years, what do i do? kill em?
I didnt understand, could you explain?
this is as real and straight forward as it gets. I truly needed this Thank you
The energy that Lucid brings to the audience is just incredible really can make anyone change their perspective in themselves 💯
I miss x so much🥀
v
you and sneako the realest creators on this platform
Realest nofap video ever. Thanks Alex, you're changing so many lives.
this video made me pull out my journal, think for 2 hours about my childhood and my past and then i discovered so much about myself. thankyou lucid this video was gold
You inspired me to begin my no fap journey long ago and here I am, day 439 still going strong. Came to check out this video for entertainment and educational purposes and boy was I surprised. This doesn’t even have to be about no fap at all. This could literally be applied to any addiction, great video hopefully this once again helps me solve any of my problems or addictions. Stay blessed ❤️💯
i love that this message is so wholesome it can literally be applied to any other stubborn patterns and behavior we trynna fix once and for all in life ❤️ best advice yet, Lucid senpai!
This video described me exactly. I’ve added all these good habits yet continue to struggle. Now I know I have to find the root. Awesome video thank you
A really nice way of explaining it using a plant. No matter how much you snip the leaves, it continues to grow. Only you can pull out the root to end your addiction.
Wow, that’s all I can say. Beautiful analogy
I watched this and all I could muster is a tear from my eye.
I'm going think now thanks Lucid 🙂
Lucid man, this is all make sense now. Man, I've been dodging all my problems, always relying on people's advice doing this and that, but in the end all it did was get worst and worst. Thank God I came about this video because now I know what I should be doing. Looking at this in the perspective of how you show it with your nofap, this is a relieve and bought my mind at peace! Lucid, I thank you a lot , God bless you my man! Stay dreaming, stay lucid!🤩✌🏾💯
I truly find it necessary to find a motivation in your life, however obscure. It must be something that will NEVER extinguish. Everyone has one they just haven't wondered deep enough into their personality yet.
NEVER GIVE UP
This man right here is a true legend for sure 💯
Buddy thank you very much for this video! I agree 100%
Let's keep growing
Stop with porn
Stop whatever addictions
We need to stop being self-destructive
And honor ours lives living it the best we can, taking care of ourselves with love and compassion
Let's go guys we can do this 💪🏽
While I'm not severely addicted to the point I'm Lusting over girls and don't have self confidence in myself. This video has motivated to quit because while I do have alot of hobbies it's just a habit that a distraction and porn too. I recently quit watching sports because it was wasting my time and destroying opportunities in my life. I wanna become the best person I can be
love a different approach at this. thank you for speaking out about stuff like this, it’s all the same “find hobbies”, “do this do that”. also - great analogy my man.
lucid is the one person we could all need in life
this style of video is amazing. and the message hit home but lets be real even if your message hits deep Im gonna forget about it because im gonna consume so much other content today. idk why i wrote this whatever imma just comment it anyways.
I literally get a lot of good vibes from you man, you really motivate me to get my ass up and do something productive, kudos to you mate for 1000 days. 💯✨🙏🏻
The way that you explain and give examples in said subjects makes it a lot more entertaining for us the viewers and makes us be overall more engaged
We are in this together brothers
Thank you so much dude, like im not joking when i say you change my life with these videos
I really wish there was a way I could thank you in person for your content. ur the older brother I always wish I had 💕
Lucid. Youre truly something different man. love how the plant is off in the distance but out of focus kinda like its the subconscious in a literal sense. this is basically telling us to do shadow work. to meditate. to just stop running away from what were all destined to be doing. dude i have no words. this shit took me away
the bit i dont understand is once you know the root cause what do you do with it. Like Lucid said "rip it to shreads" but what does he actually mean like practically?
@@ItsJustTech You must practice undoing what caused those feelings. For example, if your root comes from the pain of what others did to you, then you must practice forgiveness, to yourself, and to others. All you need to overcome this is within you.
@@darknuance_ix thank you so much i understand now :)
That was one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you.
This physically helped me mentally I’ve been very productive towards my problems I’m getting rid of I thanks for the help lucid
Bro, Lucid, this video really changed my life. After 3 years of failing and having flimsy attempts like "nofap motivational videos", I finally made up my mind to come across the fucking weed that's been hiding deep in there, the pain I was hiding from into even more pain. Man, this is eye-opening, literally. I finally freaking made the realization of what was the root cause of it all.
Guys, I really recommend that you take on this journey of meditation, or whatever it is that will get you to the answer: introspective thinking, questioning yourself, you name it.
I was too lazy to spend some time with myself so I ended up with clarity the hard way. 30 hours of porn, shame and disgust later. Believe that you will find the weed, and pull the shit out of it.
This is as real as it gets. Stop trying to find ways around it. It won't work if you make attemps you yourself know ain't gonna work. You will at last find a deep sense of assurance, and then you'll know you can draw a straight line below this experience, and learn something out of it.
God bless you all!
Hello bro. I'm 16 years old and I've been addicted to PMO for years now and I need help to find the root cause. Could it be growing up without a father? Not much empathy shown when I was younger so I was filling the pain with PMO thinking that's love? WHAT IS IT I WANT TO BE FREE PLEASE
What's your purpose? Find that life purpose.
@@Seba-ch3yq I'm not sure but I always dreamed of being successful. Wealthy, healthy both physically and psyhically, having a worked body etc.. basically I always had the hunger to become the best version of myself and live the life freely and the way I want to.

Bro ..
i can't explain to u, How much u just helped me...
Bro... hope allah blesses u.
My nofap journey of 3 years has been very life changing. My only purpose to start nofap was to become as smart and physically powerful as possible. Everyday I used to read about 150 pages of any book which took me 3 hours of reading and understanding. Then, exercise for 4 hours continually and pushing myself to the hardest level. Then have some time to play chess for half an hour and study Mathematics and physics. I feel like the next version of human being(superhuman). Literally, there is no problem that I have faced after all of this. My only goal was to see how much better I can be in every single area of life. With that being said, I pray 5 times and have some time to concentrate and understand my religion Islam in depth. All of these achievements and habits make me 1% in human population. Finally, now I feel better.
The phrasing here and the symbolism of the thistle plant is amazing. Thank you
day 200 of nofap THANKS LUCID!
This sums it all Lucid! Perfect Video!! Will recommend to everyone who are suffering with this affliction like myself.
I always watched Lucid as a youtuber who did dark web and vr videos but now i see him as a philosopher
Bring back people's vr stories please really enjoyable keep going my g

thanks man I have just worked out and found the root cause through deep thinking and putting my thoughts into a piece of paper. And now I am on one week of nofap and didn't feel urges or had a thought of fapping . Even in very hard situations where i would go and fap but now I am calm and steady to face the thing. hope I never stop this journey and become a best version of myself
My friend reccomended me to start watching Pornography and to start fapping, I was 11. Now im 15 and 859 days on NoFap, And 1,064 days No P. Thank you lucid, you have helped me recover from this drug in my mind telling me to keep feeding the fire of my addiction, Geniunely thank you.
i really cannot thank you enough for making these videos they mean so much to me and inspired me to really start battling my addiction. so far i have only been able to get a one month streak with no p but i think with 90% certainty that i know why i felt the need to fill this void in my heart and i have already taken a big step towards pulling out those roots its just a little unfortunate that i cant really speed up this process and im just going to have to trim the weeds for a little while before im ready to pull the roots out.
Damn, what a f*** video. Thank you so much lucid. You help so many people out, I can't thank you enough.
getting close to 1 mil lucid... proud of you
I learn so much things from this every time and I love learning more from him thank you made me think about it all way differently
I have never felt like this before not on my highest streaks or my most motivated days I’ve found the reason and I’ve got a new mindset that will without fail, bring me further than I ever have before. Thank you
You know what I’m gonna meditate for 40 minutes right now and set the intention that I want to know what my trauma is and what is causing this habit so I can act on it.
Bro.. you are totaly right.. I relapsed after 5 months sober.. A year ago and fall in the rabit hole even more deeper than before. Thx man from the heart for this million dollars advice
I knew from the last relapse, that this time i am gonna make it, i pulled the root, i got rid of the "wanting to be happy, wanting to feel like every area of life is pink, to forget about the bad that exists near me, to feel and be NORMAL, to enjoy LIFE , to love myself and feeling proud of me" root problem, rn i am at 1+ month clean and i am not going back guys, i will come back with an edit on day 90 in december!
I know no one will read this after a year of this video being posted I was and am still typically alone I haven’t quite figured out why just yet I do this. All I have come up with is physical warmth and the feeling of being alone. And I mean not desire no pity I have struggled with countless obstacles physically but the hardest part about nofap so far is something in my life just killed me I was angry over something I caed too much about and never put actual sweat tears and blood into something I enjoy that makes me happier stronger I haven’t learned my true desire inside of myself but when I comeback to this place I need to have something that compels me and desires me to do better to be better to change what I am and become something incredible
Lucid, I don t know if you ever thought about this, but for the beginners to make progress, no matter how many NoFap videos of yours they watched but only hearing you talking again about NoFap, in many new videos or in livestreams, just if you talk about this problem, they will get motivated.
Man I literally just relapsed, Lord Jesus Christ be with you, man I'm switching to a flip phone so I can confront whatever is within me and end this once and for all
"when you run away from your problems, you will never solve them"

This video is impacting me already more than the others wow
You're a deep guy man
May Allah reward you
I broke a 379 day streak and now struggling to get past a week, after watching this video, I realized the problem.
This is true. Great video and the best YT video on escaping and being set free from PMO
Is Lucid gardening?
Real talk tho, this might be the best video you've uploaded on this subject
This is true,
Very trur, thanks for pointing that out.
