    After 6 months urges CAME LIKE CRAZY. As im injured, I can't do physical exercise. I went to the point to text to escorts just to have something. Stopping it right now, i know how it finishes. Will try to distract myself with anything I can

    You can do it! Personally if I was in your place I would exercise myself mentally instead of physically. It's definitely tougher than physical exercise, but it is something!

    No idea what that looks like for you, but I'm sure there are some mental activities you can do that you enjoy!

    1 week no social media. Don't feel the FOMO to go back, more relaxed in general.

    Thats good but bro how you would pass the time. I mean the time when u will be more bored.

    I don't know how I am doing it, sometimes I feel really bored, but I guess boredom is healthier than social media. Trying to get used to boredom, I look for things to do, no matter how simple they are (e.g put in order my wardrobe)

    10 days from 6 months. Unbelievable. Action plan for Q2, Q3, Q4: No social media/dating apps (my biggest struggle since I reopened them in Jan 25 - On and off them) - As I suffer from anxiety, and I even though Im conscious about that, they still stimulates my mind. I need to learn to embrace boredom.

    Unfortunately I can't use them in a healthy way yet, I always give them a compulsive use, looking for validation. So i have to close them. Lets see how far I can go without them.

    1 week no social media (ig/tinder/bumble) - A lot of pressure off of me, however, the downside is the boredom (even though I do a lot of things I still have free time)

    Wow, a month since last post. +5 months on NoFap now. Went on a 20 days holidays where I relaxed a LOT, travelling makes you have another perspective of life. Finally quit social media and dating apps (which I used a lot during most of my holidays, but noticed that is to get validation through likes)

    Once you get peak energy (around 2-3 months) it keeps there, urges almost don't come anymore, and anxiety is improving everyday, almost non existent. Enjoying life. Amazing the difference compared to when I started this streak,
    B
    +130 days, made it a lifestyle. However, a lot happened these last 3 weeks. Back to social media, bumble and tinder, got some likes, used it in a "compulsive" way as dopamine hitted hard. Quitting all 3 together for a month at least as I am going on holidays.

    Matched with too many girls on dating apps that lead nowhere, just getting into to get the validation and the dopamine hit for the likes (as well as stories on instagram). Also it creates a little bit of FOMO and anxiety (too bad for me as I suffer from general anxiety) as you don't know if the love of your life is one swipe away - I got hooked with one girl that exchanged IG but after a text, she didnt reply.

    As Im going on holidays next saturday for 3 weeks I've got a plan for this week: #1 No more videogames - #2 IG: Just to answer DMs or if someone follow me - #3 Uninstalled Bumble and Tinder but left my IG in the description, so if the love of my life is there I open the door so she can follow me.

    Anxiety/fear/lack of calmness improved like CRAZY overall these +4 months but I don't get overconfident and try to improve everyday, knowing that still will be some ups and downs - Exercising everyday - Crazy energy! (I went through a little flatline this last week however)
    B
    - Struggling with sleeping habits (too much eating before/cold temperature) and I cant rest well these last few days (low energy-mood) correcting it today.
    - Exercising every day
    - Holidays from work in 10 days, already quitting social media and dating apps from now and dopamine fasting to clear my mind (except messaging with that one girl, but taking it easy)

    Going well #1 and #2 - #3 still in progress

    Exercising too hard last 7 days. Will recover this weekend and keep training but don't that hard. Recovered energy, good levels. A little bit more caffeine that need to be corrected. IG closed, no interest in getting back into as I replaced it with tinder/bumble. I receive a lot of validation there so I need to regulate this as soon as possible. I control my brain. Anxiety moderate-low. Surpassed 4 months. some urges

    Started to appear. I feel like an uncontrollable energy inside that kind of tell me "lets go out there find some trouble, you are OK" but thats the trap. I think some meditation will help, I just need to chill and relax. I cant decompress that energy through sports as Im injured, but will control my dopamine and stay as relaxed as possible.

    Any advices after 120 days? Uknown territory - A little downside in energy for a few days, still doing exercise and keeping good habits (eating/sleeping)

    Stay hungry and never ever let up. You can go months on easy street, then one day from hell comes along and can find yourself unprepared. Always prepare- always be ready to fight the boss urge. Also, feeling withdrawal like symptoms is normal- it's some sort of PAWS.

    Some anxiousness these last days (weather went unexpectedly too hot and woke up in the morning not feeling good + eating more sugar/caffeine than usual spiked my blood presure for a few minutes) - Energy however is OK - This will pass as always, need to not freak out. This is useful to not get overconfident about food (keep minimum sugar only for weekends) and sleeping habits (mantain an optimal temperature)

    Feeling better! Now working to hold this well being taking care of eating and sleeping habits again.

    Recovered from this state. Looking forward to keep this well being. Being moderate in life is the key, hard for myself as I always like extremes.

    Shut down social media as of 5th february (Instagram-Tinder) - Used it through january to reach ex-girls, get some attention, look for that dopamine hit when girls liked me on tinder. Decided to give up all this as it is very stimulating for the mind. Look forward to meet people only in real life. Hope this lasts. Will do a close follow up as I "relapsed" many times and end back in reqactivating my accounts.

    Almost one week strong without social media. Sometimes I feel the urge to go back, but still going strong. The desire to talk to ex-girls fading away.

    Relapsed at social media after 1 week. Got back to IG, but I noticed no one cares, so I closed it inmediately again. Tired of look at ex-girls lives - Will give a shot to tinder and bumble for a week, just to have normal conversations with girls. I know the right thing to do would be to go out more often, but I need to save some money. Lets see how it goes and how I feel

    IG out of the way. No need to go back as I found a lot of validation through bumble or tinder. Will set hours: 12:00 pm - 6 pm - 10 pm (weekends: every 4 hours) to only like back who liked me for a week. Then quit as I go on holidays - I feel the compulsion to get in as I received many likes and pay to know who liked, but I as i mentioned i will control it.

    May be hitting a 3rd/4th flatline at ~110 days or may be weather too hot/the quitting from social media after some weeks of usage/a little bit of anxiety and a little loss of drive/libido. Won't freak out. Uknown territory at this point. Everything pass. Stay as calm as possible and keep the healhy habits.

    Social media plan for february: Instagram -> Just to receive DMs (don't watch feed/stories/reels) only allowed to respond if anyone sends anything (if no message is received through february I deactivate the account) // Tinder -> Just to be open to meet new people but no swipping (unless the app send notification someone liked me and I like them back) - Opinions?

    Dopamine balance plan: Caffeine just on weekends // Refined sugar max 3 times a week (small snacks) // Music: only slowed pace music - No music while driving // Gaming 1 hour max per day - 3 hours on weekends (to have fun not to compete)
    B
    Social media: cut off november, december, january I opened IG to get attention and talked to ex girls - February will get back to no social media, a LOT of dopamine in there. Lets see how it goes. Won't talk anymore about mood/anxiety/energy levels as I take them for granted now (but I already know as soon as relapse it will go everything to crap)
    B

    IMPORTANT: Do not take for granted mood/energy/anxiety only because no PMO! Another factors like good food, sleeping, good stress management and overall health care habits are very important to keep it.
    B
    ~110 days - Too much energy, even though I do physical exercise it is overwhelming. That lead me to relapse the last 2 times I was near this long in the streak. You feel invincible, like you can do anything and will keep the energy. This is the moment to cool down, put feet on the earth, keep calm, breath, relax and keep going. Uknown territory from now on as I have never reached this far. Any suggestion?
