    Hi All,

    Today I start my personal challenge, one similar to which I believe many of you are already fully familiar with. I am hesitate and unsure, but from reading the forums and some of the nofap YouTube videos, the benefits excite me and make the challenges ahead all worthwhile.

    To give you some background, I'm over 40, married and have been a PMO addict for what I am guessing is 20 years or more. Until I found this website I didn't even know nofap was a think, and until I read about many of the PMO symptoms I thought it was just normal life.

    It is refreshing to know that while difficult, I have a massive opportunity to import my life and that is what I plan on doing.

    Looking forward to the journey, the help and support along the way .

    Day 1 completed successfully.

    Kept myself busy at work and at home. Instead jumping on the computer at night went for a walk instead. Changing bad routines with positive routines I think is the key for me in getting through this reboot .
    Had some trouble sleeping initially but eventually fell asleep on the couch. I think the walk tired me out.

    Bring on day 2

    Day 5. Feeling ok so far, have been able to overcome any urges so far by keeping myself busy. Going to be home alone over the next three days as my partner is going away. This makes me a bit anxious about spoiling the progress I have made so far.

    Will try and plan out things to do during this time to help avoid a relapse .

    Day 23. Broke my streak. Pretty disappointed in myself for getting this far and then ruining it after making so much progress on my first attempt. Have reset my counter and will learn from my mistakes to do better this time.
