What are goals while doing nofap?

This is a tough one to answer, because PMO has done so much harm to me over the past 30 years. I don't know where to begin or what damage I can realistically expect to repair at this point.

I often have 12 hour PMO/edging binges that drain my energy and waste my time and wound my self-esteem one more time (one more wound like a drop in the ocean but still one more wound). So one thing is that I hope to limit that craziness.

 

Goals? The ultimate goal is to refurbish my general health and bring my self confidence back.
I kind of look pale, and looking fresh and young is part of the goal

 

Self control and mastery. Plus many-many more goals.

 

I'll add self control to mine too. It's important

 

This is so individual and a tough question
In my case: Reboot forever, Recover from PIED, getting my libido back and develop a healthy no PMO life mainly. The rest, such as confidence, higher energy, willpower and self esteem will come on the way(the nofap journey), So they're bonuses in my opinion

 

The general goal mainly is to live a healthy pmo free life. We are on it

 

My goals are pretty modest. They're basically goals to keep my depression at bay and pretty easily achievable on paper, but not so easy in reality especially when you're fighting with chronic depression.

So here they are:
1) Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night plus get to bed before 11 pm and wake up before 7 am
2) Thank God I'm alive when I wake up
3) brush and floss my teeth in the morning and before bed
4) Do Sun Salutation and 5 Tibetan Rites after a prayer
5) - Eat at least 3 meals a day
- Drink 3 liters of water during the day
- Eat at least 3 different fruits a day
- Eat large spoon of fish oil & take Vitamin B, D, Zn, Mg, Ca, K supplements every day
6) Call one friend a day
7) - Go walking/running in the forest or cycling uphill for an hour and a half every day
- Do weight lifting 3 times a week
- Do WIM HOF breathing and take cold shower every day after exercise

Longer term goals would be:
I'm still gathering mental strength to drastically reduce my screen time (PC mainly) as it might prove to be more difficult than I initially thought.
Reenter dating scene after reaching 300 days of monk mode streak.
I also have to make some advancement on my career path, but don't want to overwhelm myself with too much stressors at once as I did in the past. Slow progress is still a progress.

 

Not die I think.

 

This is awesome.
I just had this interesting experience.
Before starting Nofap I had a long period of depression. I have not actually thought about depression in recent times, since starting Nofap. I forgot all about it. Until just now. I’m actually interested to hear what other people have experienced. I understand everyone has different depths of depression, but in general, is it common for people to feel a reduction in the severity of their depression with Nofap?

 

My goals are simply just be free

 

If you've had preexisting depression NoFap won't heal it. You need to address depression together with abstention. Speaking from my own experience when I started addressing my depression and anxiety issues, I was able to break out of addiction cycle. I practiced abstention alone during my previous streak and broke after buildup of stress/anxiety and depression after 6 months of abstention. I look at PMO as my a drug of choice that helped me self-medicate fear and pain resulting from underlying issues. Once you start addressing those issues in constructive way and go through PMO withdrawal period, need to PMO disappears. You need to find inner peace. If you don't, you might be still able to ditch PMO but you will find some other form of addiction to self-medicate the void and pain inside you soon after.

 

These are good points and very important ones. Nofap has given me the freedom to do the things that give me a better quality of being. More exercise. Better sleep. More yoga and meditation. Tighter nutrition. Accomplishing more tasks that move me toward my goals. Improved relationships. The list goes on!!
