    Hello guys,

    Throughout the last 2-3 years, I've started to actively remove unhealthy habits 1 by 1.

    The first is of course the hardest: PMO, been trying to quit it since 2016.
    I've quit smoking in 2017.
    I've quit reading news in late 2017.
    I've quit Facebook, Instagram, 9GAG in mid 2018 (by quit, I mean never ever visit it again)

    I'm now trying to quit video games, since they can also contain many triggers. I've played both single player and multiplayer games, and while some of the single player games can be relaxing, I think that the violence and the way women are over-sexualized in most of these make of strong triggers. This is especially hard, since video games are my domain of work(I make video games for a living: been doing so for 5 years, but I decided to quit, I don't yet know what to do going forward)

    I've also replaced some of these bad habbits with new ones:
    I started reading again in 2017: read about 20 books so far, didn't read almost at all until then.
    I started working out on a regular basis in 2017: either gym or running or cardio workout.
    I tried for 4 months a latino dance class, but I decided to quit for now since it's not really my think (still liked the experience though).
    I also enrolled myself into a mountain hiking club (hiked about 6-7 times in 2 years).

    Thinking of starting the following: martial arts(maybe karate, opinions?) and learn to play a music instrument(thinking guitar, but again, opinions?)

    I'm looking for habbits and hobbies that score as much as possible also on in the following 3 categories: creativity, social and outdoors (ideally all 3, but at least 2)
    I'm wondering what are some healthy hobbies and habbits that you guys started as a result of NoFap.

    Thanks.

    Sounds great, that you do this. I have also a few Hobbys in mind, that i can do. But i really have to force myself to do that, i recommend when you want to play an Instrument, take a Keyboard, it's just lovely and easy to begin. I also want to read more. And I want to quit smoking weed and of course watching porn. Boxing was also in mind a few times, but one thing i also want to learn is a new language, like spanish. I think i will Start with that the next week.

    Sounds like good plans. I think it’s important that we start with one at a time. Also highly suggest that you drop the weed. NoFap is in vain if we just put our misery under another addiction: ex: drugs
