30 days hardmode; benefits so far

i'm very happy that i reached 30 days of hardmode. my journey will never be over and still have a way to go but 30 days means something. so i wanted to share this.


positive changes

• more energy
• stronger focus
• better cognitive skills; memory( quitting weed will def helped that too )
• i am more happy in general
• strong erection and morning wood (was very weak before)
• better penis sensitivity
• music sounds better
• more motivation;
  • quit smoking marihuana and cigarettes for a month now and i used to smoke 50 grams weed a month (400 dollars a month here)
  • i work out now; just push ups and pull ups and dips
  • more muscular ; no hercules yet though
  • i go running , just started last week
  • tomorrow i will play competition in chess again, something i havent done in years. quite nervous must say
• better social contact again
• stronger eye contact and more assertive
• just a more dominant guy in general

downsides so far

• sometimes angry for small reasons, will ask a question about this in reboot section, increased aggression
• sometimes difficult to go back to sleep when i wake up because i am so horny
• mood swings for no apparent reason

conclusion

Nofap has helped me tremendously in all aspects of life even with this short 30 days but i still have a long way to go. I will definitely aim for 90 days for no porn and masturbation, but i will not abstain from orgasming with a woman anymore . It has not been easy but i can be very hard and disciplined too if its necessary. it was not super difficult for me because i tried to do as much constructive things as possible and change my lazy habits. Now i just need to keep that up!!! thank u for support fellow nofappers!!!

 

The aerobic exercise and chess are particularly encouraging. Learn another language and you are on the path to greatness.
Well done mate.

 

for the we what supplements helped me too :

melatonine ; because you probably benefit from it for a week to improve your sleeping.
magnesium; really helped me too
liquid fish oil from n ow brand( helped me a lot to calm my mood.

wont elaborate here for the weed because its not for this forum , good luck!

 

thanks buddy , first i trying to get my drivers licence because im 38 and cant drive a car .

 

Great. You can also do a bunch of squats or go for a jog TODAY. Don't delay improving your life.

 

i went for a jog today.. only 3 miles but thats a start. Did push ups, pull ups and dips yesterday. I was talking about waiting for learning a new language. Already speak dutch, English french and can read latin.first i have to study for my car exam. But i get what you mean , thanks for the advice buddy!

 

3 miles is more than I can do. You're doing great!

 

I try to be more aware of the thought patterns when i have a mood swing and have more an observing perspective so i can be less involved in the taught patterns that accompanies the emotion and it fades slowly away.

I try to focus on my job when i have a mood swing and try not to be judgmental about having them because that will add negative emotion.

sometimes it all just doesn't work and i feel bad but thats ok to if it doesn't last too long.
hope it helps

 

Yeah I'm getting mood swings too. Power through mate!
