    I'd like to share a short story with you fellas out there.

    This past weekend, my sister got married. During the wedding, one of our family friends came up to me and said, "Dude, I am really good at reading people. Judging by your social skills, how you interact with people, and your charisma, you need to be in SALES. People will buy ANYTHING from you". This came as a shock to me.

    Not because I didn't agree with him. But because for most of my adult life I was a wall flower. I lived in a low self esteem, anxious, depressed fog provoked by PMO for years, and I never would have thought about myself like this. But yet here I am at this wedding, killing it, meeting new people, dancing my ass off, hitting on married women, free as a barn swallow, having the time of my life. I know this was a wedding, but it was also a funeral for the non confident, anxious, overthinking, PMO addicted, suffering version of me. By far one of the best feelings ever.

    The point here is this fellas: life is short. It is too short to be wasted on addiction and not living your life to its fullest. If PMO is getting in the way of who you want to be, its time to re evaluate what you want out of life. Its these moments that I CHERISH so hard, because I know I would have never been able to do this unless I sat down and thought about the man I wanted to be. Not only that, but doing whatever I had to do to get there.

    It is never too late to turn your life around guys. I want ALL of us to be killing it at life, and will help however I can to my brothers in the struggle.

    Your post makes me uncomfortable with myself around certain areas in my life. Time to make changes.

    Reconditioned,

    This is my second pass at recovery. I initially got ~250 days with a relapse. I used the forum heavily during my first round of abstinence, and joined a group on the site to hold myself accountable. That to me through my very first 90 days!

    Man this post gives me a lot of hope. I just had a slimmer of some of the benefits you talked about in my 3rd week. I can only imagine getting as far as you how this nofap will manifest in all other areas of our lives. Keep going bro!
