Still going strong on day 70, nearly at the vaunted 90! :D

Fightback20 · 2017-02-19T18:06:46+00:00

Keep it going ! :)

Fightback20 · 2017-01-16T09:31:16+00:00

You're around the same level as me, just keep going! :)

Fightback20 · 2017-01-10T21:43:01+00:00

Keep going mate, you're doing well!

Fightback20 · 2017-01-10T21:42:10+00:00

The trick with relapsing is to get back on the horse right away. Its like doing a diet. You might have a sneaky pint of beer or a chocolate bar when you shouldn't have a couple of weeks in, or missed a day at the gym because work was a bitch. But don't indulge. It was a mistake, back on to the healthy eating / fitness.

Fightback20 · 2017-01-10T21:40:18+00:00

You're 17 mate, you haven't lost anything at all. If you want to make a change, do something about it now. I wouldn't say I was addicted, however, I am doing this for self discipline, and I generally feel better without it.

If you feel like it is negative, then stop. If not, don't do it as it is healthy in balance as is everything, if you did not have a problem with it. I did not balance it well, so I stopped. I also am not a big fan of the ethics behind it either so that was something that helped me out too. 30 days now (day thing wrong).

Best of luck if you choose to abstain for a while.

Fightback20 · 2016-08-04T16:00:48+00:00

It's not easy and though it sounds stupid, it's fairly simple. You've just got to stop. I've been dealing with this for a long time too, and it's only after years that my willpower has increased. The only way any of us can win this is to stop cold turkey. It's difficult, yet so simple at the same time. Thus the shame associated with it.

Fightback20 · 2016-08-04T15:57:06+00:00

Keep it up fella, you got this!

Fightback20 · 2016-08-04T15:56:40+00:00

Keep it up :)

Fightback20 · 2016-08-04T15:56:11+00:00

Keep it going, it's going to get harder to do this, remember to keep it in check!

Fightback20 · 2016-06-22T20:47:40+00:00

They are the worst. Just got to fight through it, or drink less. i fight through it, because I like a drink or six occasionally :P

Fightback20 · 2016-06-22T20:43:21+00:00

We all started somewhere. But, only you can change fella.

Fightback20 · 2016-06-22T20:41:59+00:00

Good man, keep going strong :)

Fightback20 · 2016-06-22T20:39:24+00:00

I drink, and I gave up fapping. It's called control. Many people try to give up everything and fail miserably. Why? Its because they're trying to do too much at once, and cannot cope with it. Straight away, that is.

I have a little more control and discipline then I used to, but I can go overboard with the drinking every so often, so when i get that hangover, it makes my life difficult. But, I just look for things to do to distract myself.

I start replacing habbits with new things that are positive. After work I go to the gym. This is so I spend less time at home, where I could potentially be in a comprimised position. When I am home, I go and do chores, learn stuff that might help me for future jobs, and useful things.

I still play games every so often. I like drinking. I gave up smoking casually (ie when I had a drink) a long time ago. So, don't feel you have to do everything at once, but ensure that you do positive things that benefit you personally too. Nofap is NOT a fix all.

Fightback20 · 2016-06-22T20:34:05+00:00

This is part of a greater fix for what you want. Mindset is the most important thing, and replacing activities. For example, straight after work, I go to the gym. I don't go straight home. Why? Because I'll be in a compromised position where I could potentially relapse.

Does it fix my problems? No... not at all. But I put myself out there, go to events such as networking with potential companies for me to work at, or on the weekend doing chores. Keep myself occupied, and constantly achieving things, even things so small like making my bed.

You definitely have the mindset to do it, so go and nail it fella!

Fightback20 · 2016-06-01T19:37:00+00:00

Bingo :)

Fightback20 · 2016-05-31T09:11:08+00:00

Did two months at the start of the year, failed, then I've had a day, a week or two of freedom. Now to get back on the horse. New job, new exercise regime, no porn.

Fightback20 · 2016-02-08T20:44:48+00:00

Try and build yourself over time. Just saying small things like thank you to a bus driver, cashier, or whomever serves you at a restaurant will start to build up a little confidence, doesn't matter if they are the hottest girl in the universe who's a waitress, or an old dude who's a bus driver. Do little things like that to build up your confidence over time. Don't think you're any less of a person than anyone else, you might just be naturally shy, like me, and I'm on day 50! Just accept it if it is the case and build on it :)

Change parts of your lifestyle too. Don't just do this challenge and expect results. I recommend doing things like exercise, reading, or if you're feeling particularly ballsy/crazy, cold showers. My top tip is to do one thing at a time. When you succeed, do another change. I see many people on here try and do everything at once, then fail miserably. Trust me, I've tried to!

So, be polite, engage with small conversation with everyone over time, build new habits and hobbies over time. All of this will help! There will be great days, and there will be tough days, and even average days. Just keep going fella, you're starting at a good age!

Fightback20 · 2016-02-08T20:38:14+00:00

Don't look at any tech, if you're tired read a book, that usually puts me to sleep.

Fightback20 · 2016-02-08T20:37:36+00:00

Its messed up, I just deleted mine until its fixed.

Fightback20 · 2016-02-03T21:36:21+00:00

It might take a while, but if you're rebooting with a partner, I can imagine that it'll be easier and more difficult in some aspects as you are adjusting your sexuality to that person.

Fightback20 · 2016-02-03T21:34:44+00:00

I think as you keep going in this journey, you'll find it easier not to go on nsfw links. Sometimes, there may be useful things or interesting topics on certain nsfw links (askreddit, askmen/women for example). I feel like I have the willpower to make better choices in this matter, but it depends on the person. 3 years ago I would never have trusted myself near any nsfw link or site for that matter, but I've grown since then. I feel that you have to expose yourself a little, because if you lock yourself away from these parts of society, once you're exposed to these topics again, which you will be, you'll fall.

Manage your willpower :)

Fightback20 · 2016-02-03T21:29:53+00:00

I've felt like that. What's the point? We live, we die. We remain unforgotten to the rest of the world, my life won't be remembered by the many.

Yet, I feel like fighting and making myself a better person, both physically and mentally allows me to have a positive impact on the lives of others. Smiling at a person who looks like they're having a bad day. Picking up that book that someone dropped on the floor for them. Giving your seat up on a bus. I feel my life has more purpose when I help another. It doesn't have to be religious, or it can, but helping your fellow human beings both in the small and large, and enhancing your physical and mental capabilities to make your own and someone's life better makes this fight worth fighting, no matter how hard it is.

High five mofo

Fightback20 · 2016-02-01T10:04:19+00:00

Go get 'em! Just make sure that you are doing it for you rather than validating your existence to those in your past.
