I completed the 90 days challenge; next goal, 365 days?

Okay, so I completed 90 days NoFap challenge and I’ve grown a pair of wings, incredibly, couldn’t believe in when I woke up in the morning, I just flew off.

No but really, it’s been great. The biggest takeaway for me was that I’m striving for things that would be really fulfilling in the long term and the process of ‘doing’ is fulfilling, rather than getting the instant reward I didn’t work for. I used to feel productive during a day before nofap and masturbate at night as a reward and it felt like all my progress washed away; the same cycle would repeat, every single day – like a carrot stick, being a long term goal, was dangled in front of me and I’m on the treadmill.

So what have I accomplished? I’d say, a lot of…rewiring, reprogramming my mind and focusing on me; it sounds cliché but before I put off going to the dentist for 2 years and didn’t seek help with career stuff. I’m much more organised, productive and I achieve more. Again, before it was like a day would come by and the next day, I just restarted. But now, I’m building on the previous day and the progress I made. I’m a lot more level-headed, still get depressive thoughts, but they don’t take up my week like they used to, they would last probably 30 mins. I don’t get embarrassed easy as well. Put it this way, I’ve done more during these 90 days than I have in the past 2-3 years. You know those projects you’ve been promising to do? You’ll make progress in them during these 90 days.

How did I do this? I used to watch porn on my phone, so on 1st of Feb, I uninstalled VPN and implanted the date “01/05/18” in my mind and counted down from 90, and began keeping a log on nofap, after a while I stopped my log but I still kept counting backwords from 90, day by day, the number kept decreasing which helped. That’s the main bit for me, calculating how many days left. I still look at “nude woman”, but not in a porn way, more so as an art, there’s this mag on instagram that post artistic photography of beautiful women.

It is a challenge, but it is not impossible. Best way to do it is cold turkey.

What’s next for is, well today at 00:32, I was so horny, omg, I started researching what happens after 90 days because it’s a challenge getting to 90 days that most people who are interested in 90 days don’t know what to do after. Do you masturbate again? Do you masturbate periodically? But the thing is, the point of this is to never masturbate again really. Whole point of this is to get your life going again, improve and believe it or not, you won’t achieve what you want during the 90 days – but thankfully, the hunger that I have in me, the fire that’s burning is enough for me to prioritise my goals over masturbating. So, next goal is 275 days?

The best thing about this, you’re guaranteed to make progress in your life, ever been stuck in a rut and the walls start closing in? Try 90 days, don’t masturbate and you’ll feel great. This is the best I’ve felt in forever.

Just wanna talk a bit about goals and motivation, without going too much into personal details. I’m someone with high ambitions, I want to start a business and make money etc… Also, I want to a girlfriend who’s awesome and has an amazing personality; to get that person, giving up porn and masturbation is worth it, I realise how disgusting the act actually is. Imagine your crush found you holding your dick in front of her, how’d you feel? I’d feel like a demented creep to be honest.

If any of you need a sign to go cold turkey and to start NoFap, this is it; I’ll do one better

[ START 90 DAY NOFAP, STARTING FROM… NOW!!! (delete porn on phone, delete VPN) ]

I’d recommend to anyone because it is freeing, you feel stronger, more just…great.

Best of luck peeps.

(Disclaimer: Going cold turkey is what worked for me, other people may recommend other ways but this worked for me.)
