    Sure thing. Here are the ones I've used so far. They are only about half of what I have, so let me know if you'd like more.

    1. The ultimate obscenity is not caring.
    2. Don't you want it all?
    3. I am not this hair, I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within.
    4. Play it where it lays.
    5. Patience, and persevere.
    6. I know you're tired, but come, this is the way.
    7. Fortune always favors the brave.
    8. I'm allergic to losing.
    9. One day or Day One. You decide.
    10. I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.
    11. Procrastination is the thief of time.
    12. Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.
    13. I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
    14. Not Today.
    15. Take What's YOURS.
    16. Succeed in the expedition, or perish in the attempt.
    17. The intelligent desire self-control. Children want candy.
    18. The best way out is always through.
    19. I didn't say it would be easy. I said it would be worth it.
    20. Resolution and becoming fortitude.
    21. This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.
    22. Until heart and blade break.
    23. You don't find happiness, you create happiness.

    I've started a new challenge about avoiding the news. All the negative bullshit about the virus has been getting me down, yet I feel compelled to keep checking the news. I started a counter in my signature, but NoFap won't let me link the thread because there is a maximum of 2 links per signature. Here it is if you're interested. https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/the-no-news-challenge.277385/

    Yesterday was extremely discouraging. I didn’t reset but it was the hardest day yet and it seriously made me doubt the point of nofap.

    I’m taking it easy today, clearing my head and will try to avoid screens!

    Hi everyone, just checking in pre-emptively.

    I don't think that I feel like I'm about to fall off, but I am compelled to come here to stay honest with myself. That probably means that I'm closer to the cliff than I realise!

    This addiction is a sneaky, slimy bugger...

    This reminds me of recovering alcoholics who have been sober for 30 years but still go to AA meetings every week. They know that there is no such thing as 'recovered'. Once you drop your guard, you are done.

    Testify.

    I have lost count of the number of times that I've "fallen off the wagon." This addiction is an unwelcome parasite which has invaded my life for at least 20 years and probably longer.

    Until now, every time that I've tried to give it up has either been motivated by guilt or the threat of loss. This time is different. I'm choosing to do this "for me." Because I want to. Because I'm better than this. Because enough is enough.

    When I've lapsed in the past, it's been through complacency. That little voice, speaking those "harmless" untruths - like "it won't hurt if..." and "it's only..." and "why shouldn't I be allowed to..." - starts up and, if I don't silence it, becomes louder and louder until my defences are gone and I give in.

    Now that I've joined you guys, I feel like I don't have to stand alone. Like I'm part of a team. I have you guys to stay honest with. That's a big deal. It helps. A lot.

    I feel generally positive. But have a bit of that "sense of impending doom." (cue dramatic music)

    It might be nothing, but I'm going to take it as a message that I need to be extra vigilant for a little while.
