Today is my 180th day on nofap. Bro I don’t even wear my glasses anymore, except at night when I’m driving. grew my little beard out. morning woods have returned. Had one 6 days in a row. They come and go. Prior to nofap, I forgot they existed. I don’t let ppl slide anymore. I have become outspoken. Even told someone, “wait, I’m talking” I feel great everyday. I wanna improve on other things in my life and break other habits. Porn was just the beginning. any questions. Feel free.
amazing work, congratulations do you feel more 'lucky' being on a higher streak and any other benefits too?
To answer your first question, I don’t feel lucky. This took discipline and dedication, not luck. And two benefits I noticed was lost of social anxiety and better sleep.
Thanks for the answer, I meant lucky as in do things seem to go your way more now naturally, no disrespect to the hard work you put in
The best way I can answer that question is, I would say that things go my way more because I’m less of a ppl pleaser. I pretty much say what I have to say on conversations
This!! My husband has always been a people pleaser and getting clean finally changed this. It was like he could never say no to people and he didn’t get how easily I could, lol. He finally sticks up for himself too. I used to be the one jumping in saying no!
Yeah it's one of the most difficult things to deal with. And even in general - having a trait that you don't like, but can't seem to change is really frustrating. I used to sacrifice my own grades to help people with homework and never said no when people asked me to do stuff for them. And I always felt angry at myself afterwards. I think the larger issue is self-esteem and confidence. When you manage to defeat something that's had a hold of you for so long, it's like a mental high. You feel unstoppable and the things that seemed harder or difficult to change before suddenly become easy. What a miraculous thing NoFap is.
Yes, he’s much, much more confident. Which is kinda crazy because I’ve never thought he lacked confidence. He got up and spoke for 45 minutes at a charity event about something horrific he went through. Over 800 people! He was awesome, how many people can do that? I certainly wouldn’t want to. This was right at the beginning of him getting clean. He’s even more confident now. When you get clean from this addiction, you see enormous changes.
My libido is way better then what it was. It spikes now from normal to wanting to dry hump the pillow. But in the beginning I had no libido at all. I had no libido during flatline and none when I wasn’t flatline. But now it’s normal.
You better wear glasses if you need it. MO decreasing sight is just a stupid myth (here in italy is what the priest used to tell us to prevent from MO).
Yes. Confidence and assertiveness have increased 100%. Makes you look back and wonder , who was I before. And I have noticed ppl speaking to me first , I guess that’s a form of attracting ppl.
I really don’t need them. They just make my vision flawless. I just don’t like the guy with glasses look anymore. Ppl always say, “u know, the guy wit the glasses”
Congrats for reaching 6 months...I have two questions........ 1- were there Any slipups during ur streaks... like lust or fantasy?? 2- After how many months u feel improving social amxiety.... was it sudden or gradual.. thanks in advance
Hi there Can you please tell us how long you had your habit for? How old are you now? What age did you start? How many times a day did you masturbate to porn? Thank you I am on day 35. I am 37 yrs old. Watched porn since 13, on average about 2x per day, sometimes more. I want to gauge how long this will take. I am currently flatlining. Jollem
