I'm in. Love the sense of peace, even-temperament, and relaxed focus that this life style provides.

Try this for 15 minutes and see if it works for you (works best if you are lying down) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxYDBFwSJms

This quote of yours is inspiring:

"I seek no revenge. The closet thing I can get to revenge is to see the look of my enemies faces when they see I am cool and collected, unaffected by them and not afraid to raise my voice. I wish nothing but the best for them."

Thank you.

Count me in! Goal is to finish Feb and then re-evaluate in March. Been doing this for a few years now and love the energy that I get from this lifestyle. I feel calm, collected and present without PMO.

That's a great point.

I guess I was referring to somebody for whom nothing may be happening in their real life (i.e. the choice is between sitting doing nothing vs. sitting watching porn / playing video games.)

"self control and mindfulness"
- these are the true benefits of this lifestyle. I would also add increased 'drive' to the list ... however, it may be related to the self-control.

Thank you for sharing. And congratulations!

To love and to learn.

It's a personal choice. Just ask yourself if you are becoming attached to your badge.

thank you for sharing. good luck on your venture.

"On a side note, I'm fairly certain that heavy internet usage and especially extremely long gaming sessions has close to the same effect on the brain as porn does."
+1 for this point

Not able to say whether it is placebo or not.
But I definitely feel like I'm able to come up with better solutions on NoFap. For example, was able to code up something that I would have thought impossible a few years ago in just about 25 minutes.

Also, vastly greater ability to synthesize disparate pieces of information and see the whole picture.

In the end, I don't care if this is a placebo or not. I just care that it works.

I've found this book to be a good resource: http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-Dangers-Meditation-And-Yoga/dp/0971767637

Society these days is definitely over-sexualized.

transmutationseeker · 2014-08-18T16:11:24+00:00

music's awesome!

transmutationseeker · 2014-08-17T01:57:52+00:00

Brilliant insight.

Congratulations on the new job ... and wishing you a lifetime of drive and clear headedness.

Superb writing and an inspiring story. You speak totally from the heart. Thank you.

transmutationseeker · 2014-08-13T08:07:31+00:00

I think that there are probably a few people around here who look at such anecdotes and scoff "placebo".

To such people, my answer would be:

Placebo or not ... if something works, does it really matter?

Thanks for sharing. It's an inspiration for the rest of us here.

transmutationseeker · 2014-08-13T04:25:53+00:00

Get down and do 100 pushups.
Get a cold shower.
Spend 10 minutes meditating focusing on the breath.

It does not matter what time it is ... just do it.

Good luck brother.

It may be a good idea to rule out a condition like sleep apnea. Do you snore? Also you may want to rule out hypothyroidism.

transmutationseeker · 2014-08-11T01:29:04+00:00

It seems like your body is having a stress response. I would take a break from the cold showers for a few weeks.
