Day 27. Too much walking today, a couple of meetings and a good gym session. Pretty tired but otherwise, all's good! @Kratos_GOW Yup, I guess that's the aur. I don't think it's a magic thing that just so happens to appear when men don't fap. I believe it's the happiness, confidence and motivation that get to show better on our faces and posture. Plus, some minor testosterone raise (which tops at day 7 or 8 of abstinence, can't remember atm) helps a bit I suppose.
Man that's no problem. We are all here to help each other afterall. If you wanna share your story then you can talk about it here, nobody here will judge you and we would not want you to have any suppressed thoughts in your mind that may restrict you to live to your fullest. I am personally happy that you are opening up here. Feels like the challenge is helping you and you are fighting your way in. You are being cheered from everyone here! Oh alright. I think i am in personally Flatline phase right now. Like i dont see that much increased level of energy but i can work with less sleep, its just my internal clock is messed up so i have to work around that. I plan on getting in shape as i was before pandemic so have to make schedule and all. As for aura, i think i did see some ladies staring or smiling while looking my way but that can be a coincidence also so i pay that no mind. I have to say, if it was old me like in 2019 then i would have given up by not seeing any benefits or attractions etc but by understanding how the over sexualized market wants to OWN you i have grown wiser and knowledgable about many things through out the years. Not everyday is the best day ever but as rocky says - Its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward! SO DONT STOP MOVING FORWARD EVERYONE!
Thanks stoner. Congratulations to you too. --- Day 16 here. Technically I'm on Day 60 overall, so this applies to that duration more than the 16 days of the Spartan Challenge, but for those in the early days, it might be useful and encouraging to hear this... I've found it interesting that the longer I go, the less power PMO thoughts and urges have over me. Whereas in the early days they would suddenly surface and almost take charge of my mind so that I had to fantasize for several minutes or more at a stretch, now when they come up, they are naturally just dissolving away again almost immediately. I think I wrote somewhere else on the forum that eventually the urge/addiction starts to lose interest in bothering you after a period of time when it realizes it is not going to be satiated no matter whether it throws a tantrum and demands attention, or not. It really is like the smoking addiction: After a while of abstaining, the nicotine receptors start to whither up and die because they know they are not going to get fed. Keep it up, folks, you can do this!
Day 16 & 17. I'know that in 10-15 days a really hard phase will come. How can I prepare, that I stay strong then? Probably i have to invite a lot of Friends every day, so that I'm not alone. I'dont know. But one is sure. I didn't want relapse.
Am sure you have a hobby or you want to achieve something right so try to direct ypur focus on that particular goal or hobby which will help you to become more competant or more efficient you can talk to your friends or go out too or come here and talk about your urges.. We all have to go through this phase and its nature's test to validate that can we control our nonbeneficial urges and become a better self of us . So keep on you can do it @Dana91 ✌☺☺☮️
Thats great Sister! You should post a Success story. You have clear goals now! It will make the fight easier. Going great i see! You have also achived a new rank it seems!
Day 16 normal day but bit lazy for workouts but i invested my time in studies and series feeling good . The wave of urges are waiting for me i know but i wont give up.
Day 28. A bit longer gym session today so I'm very tired already. Otherwise, the weather here is good, I talked with a couple of friends on the road and overall no urges atm. @Kratos_GOW The real, only and most important benefit from nofap is soul improvement. This of course leads to clairvoyance, motivation, happiness etc which affect various other aspects and sectors. Thus, we tend to improve in every department while abstaining. Magic attraction, levitating abilities and diamond sperm... these are things for people who don't care truthfully about themselves. On another note, I am more than happy to report to everyone that my hocd is so rare and uninteresting that I cannot even believe it! I used to have it every day for decades and it was the only thing that was keeping me "interested" in m and I started nofap just to get rid of at least a small portion of it. It was eating me from the inside because I know that I am not gay but for some bizarre reason I was attracted to men and gay porn. Not anymore! Yes, sometimes it appears and yes, I may get urges but these appearences are so sparse that they don't mean anything. I think I am healing... Stay strong everyone. Every obstacle in the road is for you to test your limits. If you fall down, just get up and start running again.
Everyone @Dragar has achieved a new rank! Be sure to congratulate him. Nice work, some days are low of energy, it happens, keep you guard up! Man this is inspiring. I am happy for you!
