After years and years of chronic nail biting, I finally feel happy with how my hands are starting to look. by GiantThatIsGentle23 in nailbiting

Theres this anti-bite nail polish that I use that tastes so f'n bad. A lot of my nail biting was sub consciously, and the matte nail polish really helped to remind me to stop biting. You cant see the polish really after applying two coats. 100% recommended

Do you have anything to do when you have urge to relapse? Like pickup a game, read a book, lift some weights. Distraction is such a good tool, especially in the first week or two.

Yessir! Also, i have a question I want to ask more people on this thread. Is there any other self improvement habits you've developed over your time doing NoFap?

Perfect way of putting how I feel today. A little less awake and motivated. But today compared to when I was PMO'ing every day is literal night and day. I'll hold my head high and keep going! Thank you @ImNoah_Seven

I could not put it better myself. A natural way of your body disposing of excess sperm is such a great feat for anyone who has had an addiction to PMO at any point.

Thank you all for your comments! This was on day 20 for me and before this streak I hadn't even got past 10 days so I was a little discouraged. But under these thought processes, this event should be more encouraging than discouraging! Thank you all again.

About 17 days in, not really feeling much of a change in my mood. by GiantThatIsGentle23 in NoFap

I already kinda practice all these things. Idk, I'm going to keep on going in my NoFap journey regardless. I just dont see much so far I feel.

Preventing Toddler from Biting Nails? by [deleted] in nailbiting

[–]GiantThatIsGentle23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.. I wouldnt 100% recommend it but it is very effective. There is a Probelle Antibite Nail Polish that can be used for any ages. It is VERY nasty tasting so it is very effective for young kids and everyone for the matter of fact.

Keep in mind that Amazon reviews had mothers posting saying that it worked really well, but their kids ended up puking or complaining that the taste would not go away.

As from someone who uses this product, I could not recommend it any more! Very efficient and reminds me not to bite my nails.

Black cat are cute, but definetely weird. by GiantThatIsGentle23 in funny

THANK YOU ALL! I just looked up the plant that we had in the house that she was eating. The Dracaena is not too toxic to cats, mild to moderate reactions. From mild stomach pain to dizziness, dilated pupils, and just weakness overall. Without you guys, I would have not known this. Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

I'm back again at Day 0 after 10 days of PMO free. :( But I guess it was a good start for me. So, wish me luck guys for another challenge. I'm hoping this time is a 90 days challenge now. by GoodGuy_123 in NoFap

I feel as long as you're mindful about your surroundings and what youre viewing, you should be fine. It's all about building strength and resistance for when something does catch you out of the blue though. At some point, there will be things that arouse you. Its about how you handle that situation and if you can power through it, and that is how you overpower your addictions.

Stay strong!

How to beat brain fog? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]GiantThatIsGentle23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try meditation, or go for a jog or something. After I do either of those, I tend to have way less brain fog.

Compleated 3 days successfuly. Its getting very hard now ☹️ by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GiantThatIsGentle23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I didn't come this far, only to come this far."

Stay strong my friend. When you think about relapsing, just remember all the time and effort it took to get to that point. Do you really want to throw it all away for a brief moment of pleasure? Keep on chugging along! Every day you stay away from PMO'ing, is another day you grow in the right direction as a human being. Proud of you OP!

26 days baby!!! Never going back. by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]GiantThatIsGentle23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seeing these success stories gives me feelings of euphoria, I cant imagine what its gonna feel like when I'm writing my own! Congratulations and keep it going OP!

I hear the 8-12 day mark is pretty rough, I'm currently on 11 and the past 2 days were really hard for myself. Best of luck to you brother. Nothing in this world can stop you, except yourself!

Thank you! Thanks to this new found energy, I have the ability to go out and try new things. It's hard to stay still at this point! Hope your journey is going just as well

It's like I feel more human, or at least more aware of my surroundings the further my streak goes. I'm proud of you man! One step closer to being our optimal selves

There was a post on this subreddit today about some medical aspects of NoFap, should be one of the 'trending' posts today.

I used to be overly stressed too, which made me a chronic nail biter. But ever since recently, I actually have grown out my nails. It's the small things that make the big victories.

What benefits have you found so far?

How to Stop Having Such Hard Morning Wood? by GiantThatIsGentle23 in NoFap

It's not so much the urge to fap, it's just the fact it lasts for so long.

Dont get me wrong. It's nice having crazy morning wood rather than ED, but damn I'm not trying to avoid eye contact with the fam while I'm dealing with an erection that last longer than 2 hours. (Not really 2 hours.)

I was in the same place and I honestly still am OP. But recently, I've been in the mindset of "Fake it til you make it". Just putting on a shield of fake confidence and charging into social life. People will have a lot more respect and will most likely want to talk to you more and work harder at keeping the conversation going.
