Today was a good 24hrs. I struggled near the end. I have got to remove myself from instagram. That stuff is a slippery slope of lust and addiction.
Instagram is the devil's pit. So are Pinterest and tumblr. I've erased my account the day I started nofap. And besides the nofap challenge, my life just got better without social media.
Hey y’all, I’m sorry I haven’t been writing anything. I struggled and failed so many times that I was ashamed to keep coming back to the group and always giving bad news instead of progress. I’m back again and I am recommitting myself to noFap for 90 days by taking it a day at a time. Guys I need help! I’m getting married later on this year and I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE this type of behavior in my marriage. I’ll get back on here everyday for the next 90 days, good or bad. I hope I didn’t disqualify myself from the group, but if I have, I more than understand.
Godsent7: There is no shame here except one you inflict on yourself. I have been in your shoes so many times I wanted to quit on God, myself, and my family. This isn’t a forum for recovered people. This is a forum for all of us who struggle with PMO. For years I let the shame of PMO take control over my life. I wouldn’t date or pursue any woman for fear that they would leave me due to my faults. I separated myself from family, Friends, relationships, and God out of fear and shame. Years of my life pissed away because I was so consumed within myself. Look at my current number of days is my race won? No, but I am getting stronger. Welcome back, lift your chin there is no need to loose hope.
Had a good 24hrs. Today I asked a woman out on a date and she said no. And I have to admit, it feels good to be putting myself out there again.
Not so good 24hrs. I am thinking it was simply a lack of sleep. Two days of no sleep consistently pushes me over the edge. I still need recommendations on how to change sleeping patterns.
Advice: try to take less calories in a day, and if you can, fasting for a day is the best option (you can drink water for sure). Your body will try to compensate that lack of energy by sleeping, you'll feel sleepy earlier.
What works for me is to go to bed at the same time every night, get at least 7 hours of sleep, and then wake up every morning at the same time. Also, don’t drink anything a couple of hours before bed so you don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Also, if you wake up in the middle of the night, don’t look at your phone, just try to go back to sleep.

Keep fighting my friends and remember that the battle is won or lost in the present moment.
Today was a good 24hrs. I find that my growth is the most satisfying thing in my life right now. Sure I make mistakes and I have to rest but I am on an upward path to success. See as this is the last thing I do before I go to bed I will now be posting my time so that I can start tracking when I go to bed. 11:41
