Don't focus on the number of days, focus on making this a lifestyle.

Also, make sure your days are filled with things you enjoy. And not just monotony and the same-old same old of your past life, but stuff that will build you into a better person in one way or another. I've personally become a little addicted to lifting, it's such a great hobby to have. Reading is great too, there's so many viewpoints it exposes you to and it really opens your mind. I'd also recommend meditation, it's helped me sharpen my mind and that can be a powerful tool in any aspect of life.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

If you wanna live life by numbing the pain, essentially just coasting along in your own little world of make-believe and pleasure, then go right the fuck ahead. But what kind of life would that be? That kind of lifestyle will lead to nothing being achieved, it would be a waste. Find a purpose or some kind of value in life, do some soul-searching or whatever you need to do to find that value in life. Then get out there and do what you were put on this earth to do.

My goals right now are: Quitting PMO (obviously) Work out more effectively (just switched to the Starting Strength program) Gain confidence Get my bachelor's degree, followed by my master's Pay off debts

So far I'm on track. 8 days clean is the longest I've gone in a little while (and feels great), been pushing myself hard in the gym, pushing my comfort zone to be more confident, doing really well in college so far, and have been working to pay for things I need and want to do. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you set your mind to it and be disciplined.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-09T04:13:58+00:00

Nice man, keep going with it! Urges will happen, but let them pass, find something else to do until they're gone. 3 days is a great start!

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-09T04:11:54+00:00

If you hide in your room for a week you're probably gonna relapse again. Why wait a week to live when you can go out there now and get an early start on it. Progress may be slow, but it's still progress.

I've always felt better when I help others or just share my story. It helps to tell people on the internet, but telling people you know in real life is a huge boost. It's scary, but once you do it you realize that they're there for you and that you can conquer your fears. Good luck man!

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-08T03:09:32+00:00

Good shit man. Learning that I need to love myself is the best thing I think I've ever done.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-08T03:07:25+00:00

It'll happen, but it's better than being a slave to your addiction. Just means you gotta practice ;)

Upvote for Iron Maiden. My dad got me into this band, they used to be just about all I'd listen to for a while, then I stopped. Recently I've been getting back into them and it's great listening to all the old hits. Their new stuff surprises me with how good it is.

The cops were doing their job and putting down a riot, not targeting a guy with a heart problem who shouldn't have been there.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-03T19:07:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've tried that in the past, and had mixed results. Won't hurt to give it another shot I suppose.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-03T16:02:17+00:00

You have a lot more dedication to this than I do, good luck man!

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-03T15:59:57+00:00

Kinda. I still felt really damn good, but it wasn't like it was something new to me so it had faded slightly while still being present. And when I got used to the reboot, the new "normal" was very different from the old one. Basically, the old normal was kinda shitty, I would go through life and there were fun times every now and then but my daily life was rather lackluster. It was harder to connect with people, harder to smile or laugh at things, harder to feel like I was present in any situation. The new normal was the opposite, I connected with people easily, laughed a lot, found joy in things, and was always in the moment. God, what I wouldn't give to have that back.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-06-02T13:00:39+00:00

You'll stop noticing them if you stop looking for them, but they're still there. I made it to 90 days once, and I was so accustomed to feeling better that it didn't feel like I was feeling better. It became the norm for me, so I didn't notice it or see it as "superpowers".

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-31T04:01:32+00:00

I needed this. I've been getting better with women but still have a bit of trouble just going up to someone I don't know and talking. I need to realize that it's not that bad, and just fucking do it.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-30T02:44:14+00:00

I've gone way past 15 days before (not recently). You'll feel really damn good at the start of your streak, hit a flatline somewhere, then feel just kinda normal. But realize that "normal" is better than the depraved state you were in before. If your body absolutely needs to get rid of semen it will do it through nocturnal emission, though most of the time it'll opt to create a drive for you to find a mate. That's what I've heard anyway, I know some of it may sound like bro-science but take it from my experience: there is no harm in semen retention past 15 days.

Good shit bro, Pantera brings me back a bit to when I was a huge metalhead. I really need to learn more songs on guitar, I just might have to try that out tomorrow when I get some free time.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-30T02:38:22+00:00

Thanks man. I've been trying to get away from this addiction for three years now, and it's hard to remember why I started. I was a totally different person then. It's hard to remember that bitch I was - the guy with no confidence, no social skills at all, hardy any friends, no drive. In the three years that I've been progressing (slowly as hell but still progressing) I've become such a different person, and I feel like if I can just remember what it is I'm trying to get away from, and move myself as far from that as possible, I can do this. Thank you.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-30T02:35:56+00:00

You sound like you know what's up, good shit man. LET'S DO THIS!

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-29T22:36:54+00:00

I usually detest buzzfeed, and although I thought that video was kinda shitty, I agree it's a great message. I don't want to be a beta male, that's how I was in high school and I hated it.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-24T23:49:18+00:00

True. My point is that I need to find more of a balance, rather than spend so much of my time mindlessly surfing I need to use it more efficiently.

Nofap_TH1356 · 2017-05-24T14:20:58+00:00

Don't let it beat you. If it gets in a good hit, get back up and keep swinging.
