    Welcome Brothers,

    There is great and many talk of all the positive benefits experienced by all of us. These benefits are mostly focused directly on NoFap like PIED improvement, more Dopamine etc, but there is one wonderful benefit I see a bit too rarely, and it is one I have only experienced after having relapsed and fallen so many times, and that is Clarity of mind through the happiness of life.

    In my long journey of NoFap of the past months, I didn't really see that many benefits, mostly because I already enjoyed my life. I was fit, healthy, had many great experiences, loved my hobbies, my study and my friends. The only thing I could have improved on was NoFap....... so I thought!

    The first streaks, and ultimately, my best streak gave me some benefits like being cured of PIED, feeling more energetic and alive and so on, but I was not that much different to where I was before.

    But.......... a strange benefit I have been having for the last month or two is the feeling of fulfillment. I feel free of the burden of PMO. I feel free of addiction and external control. I feel like I control my emotions, my behavior and life. I have become a truly different person since last streak and I feel like life is perfect as it is. I am not anxious anymore. I am not insecure about myself anymore. I feel like I am just perfect the way I am. Because I have conquered my greatest demon: PMO. I have done what millions of other men won't EVEN CONSIDER! I have broken free from a disease that was slowly eating from my soul. Bu now I am free of this hateful feeling and can sit back and think of what my goals of tomorrow are.

    Life is amazing. NoFap is amazing, and you are amazing. Let NoFap be the spark that ignites the fire of life. NoFap is setting us free. Whenever you feel down, depressed or like PMO'ing, remember that all of us NoFappers are the ones who are winning in life. We choose to defeat our inner demons, and although it seems difficult at times, the reward of making it through will give you the feeling I've had last month. This feeling was worth all the pain of last year of struggling.

    Yoo, what a good post. You know how I found nofap? I was going to PMO and I don't know why but I typed in google search "fap". Not because I wanted anything like this, I was interested what stuff it would give me. Nofap was first link and I clicked. That was my lucky day...
    It's wonderful community, I feel good to be here and read posts, like yours, others, to inspire me and to inspire others, share our feelings.

    Its little things like this that make me sometimes ask if theres some kind of god/universal force out there placing things infront of us when we need to make a change.

    It's almost like fate was giving you a hint to stop your destructive behavior ;). Nah i'm kidding, i don't believe in that stuff haha.
    But i am glad you found out about NoFap and this community. Like my professor says; 'the greatest of bonds are created through hardship'. We are literally experiencing that same form of the bonding of brothers as men in the military do haha.
     
  6. Great stuff ;) One sentence can explain what is the major thing to achieve in this community.

  7. My previous streak was 27 and I'm on day 018 right now but something that's definitely changed is my mindset and a better appreciation for life because if you check out my journal there's a lot of information on the dangers and porn and it's negative effects. I've found more clarity, no brain fog, enthusiasm, and overall positive feeling from completely abstaining.

    PMO addict Fapstronaut

    I am electro sensitive and live 20 feet or so from a smart meter. So I don't feel much mental clarity. I don't feel very well at all. I want to use PMO a lot but I stop myself. I'm triggered by a lot of crap but I am still triggered by a lot of crap when I'm active in PMO. Sometimes feeling it strongly enough makes me have to make some kind of boundary where possible but a lot of the crap is impossible to control. Like inconsiderate smokers. Just smoking wherever the hell they want. That just makes me sick when I am subjected, against my will, to their crap, from 50 feet away. It makes me afraid to even leave the house. But if I stay home I get to bathe in EMI!!! LIFE SUCKS!!!

    Oh, its just your attitude. Oh its just because you believe that. Blah blah blah. If you're thinking that right now then F U!!!

    I'm on second day here, and read about benefits makes me hopefully, if others persons can win, I can win as well. ( Sorry about English it isn't my first language I'm learning yet.)

    I am happy to hear that! Embrace that feeling and let that be the motivator to never indulge in PMO egain.

    I'm sorry brother, but your comment left me confused. Can I maybe help you with something? If you have trouble with finding a right mindset to conquer NoFap, I have some good tools that helped me calm my mind and not think about PMO at all during the day
