Road to 1000 days

I’m opening this thread in order to keep track of this new journey I proposed to myself, hitting the 1000 days milestone. You may wonder why such a crazy number? Well, after searching for lasting happiness in countless areas without real success (from meditation to self improvement books)I realized that the happiest days of my life where those where i didn’t masturbated (childhood, early teens). I first tried NoFap in 2018, in a moment of despair of my life, in which I felt something was wrong but I didn’t knew exactly what. I reached 120 days without PMO and realized that masturbation has a huge impact in our lifes and quitting it is the best thing you can do for yourself. Things happened through that year and although I was still committed to NoFap, I didn’t had streaks longer than 20 days. By 2019 I was feeling miserable again and instead of committing myself again with decision to NoFap I began a pursuit of happiness in other aereas, focusing on Spirituality. The year went by and I spent a lot of time listening to Gurus on youtube, some being a little bit controversial a confusing me a bit. By the end of the year I’ve lost everything I had by 2018 (girls to hang out, good grades, and most of all my well being).
I decided to start this decade with a new NoFap streak to remember how it felt. After 31 days I literally had no worries and was feeling great. I relapsed later but now I’m committing myself again to go all the way with NoFap, which I think, is the most simple and yet the most effective way to be happy .
Im on day 5 now, I will not write everyday, just when i feel the urge to. I hope someone will find this thread useful, at least is going to serve me as a tracker for my journey. Very excited.
Let’s go lads. Let’s conquer ourselves.

 

I wouldn’t consider myself a porn addict. Im just fed up with losing my time and my well being to such a nonsense thing like masturbarting to porn. From my experience I consider a life without porn and masturbation much more healthy than a life filled with those two. I’m not abstaining from sex or something else, I just want to break the pattern of this nasty habit I developed in these last years. Porn and masturbation drains your energy, at least from my perspective.

 

I know 1000 days is madness, I’m going 1 day at a time. I just setted such a high number in order to keep myself on track for a long time. On 2018 I did the reboot challenge of 90 days, after hitting those days I felt delighted, but after that I kinda lost the drive to keep going. Then I started relapsing but my hunger was already satisfied because I had reached the goal I proposed myself. That led to a lack of commitment leading to not being able to withdrawl from PMO longer than 2 weeks, losing the benefits I gained during my reboot. By setting such a high objective I’m trying to make a lifestyle change out of this and not only a challenge, but you are right, the clue to all this is going one day at a time.

 

Day 7
I gotta commit myself to study everyday, I was kind of procrastinating things these last days and now I realized I have to catch up with some subjects. It’s easier to stay behind these days of quarantine. Regarding to NoFap I had little urges but doing just fine. Music is getting more beautiful each day, something I noticed in previous streaks. Also my sense of humour is getting pretty nice, I found myself literally cracking up to old memories, or really enjoying innocent jokes. I feel way more energized than 1 week ago. I can study for longer periods and more effectively without distracting myself with meaningless thoughts. Looking forward to meeting with my buddys when this quarantine thing is over.
We deserve the best boys.
One day at a time.

 

Which one is it?

 

Thanks
