    Hello everyone My name is Alex and I'm currently doing an engineering graduation.I started fapping when I was around 13 years old following my curiosity and have been doing it since then.Recently I have become a bit aware about the NoFap and the huge benefits with regards to it.This has been a part of my routine since I started doing it and I desperately want to do something good with my life,which somehow is not happening with this habit in my life.I seriously wanna quit this shit and and move on with my life,in a good direction.Currently,I am on day 6 of my NOFAP journey and I am quite motivated to quit this.Since, there is a dirth of people to talk to about this issue in my life. I decided to join this community to share my feelings throughout this journey and get out of this behaviour together.Any help will be appreciated.

    Hey @AlexCarry ,

    Welcome to NoFap!

    You've already been welcomed by other members. So, this is just one more friendly hello.

    Oh, and also, take a look at your profile page. You can post quick 140 character updates on how you are doing. In many ways, the profile posts are equally important to the forum posts.

    NoFap isn't here because sex is a bad thing. NoFap is here because of the harm porn addiction causes.

    NOFAP day 9- I relapsed and I totally hate it.
    Was getting a bit of urges and Somehow couldn't avoid solitude and in the process I relapsed.It disgusts me totally how I have wasted the hardwork of 9 days straight.However,there's no looking back and I'm looking forward to learning from this streak and making the next one,the longest of my life.
    Lessons learnt-Try avoiding solitude and indulge yourself in meditation and Exercise which at the moment is not a part of my daily routine.

    First half of the day was a bit lazy.But by the end of the second half I felt a bit positive and drawn towards doing something to improve myself.So I decided to talk to myself in English just to improve my communication skills.At first I was very reluctant about it.All of it, like the process of talking to myself in English felt very awkward at first but the moment I started,it felt very positive and I felt very good about myself and at the moment I am looking forward to the next session tomorrow.After this session I started training which I had already decided yesterday.It was a very exhausting experience since I was training after 20 days or so but I still kept going and completed the training session.After that I read a few portions of the book(Autobiography of a yogi) and then had my dinner and read a few success stories on Nofap and finally off to bed.Hope to make this the longest streak of my life.Stay strong!! Keep going! Cheers!

    Meditation-None
    Study-Zero
    Reading-Zero
    Got woken up early at about 8:30 am due to my father shouting on the phone talking to some client.Tried again to sleep for an hour or so but failed miserably.Had to go a bank to deposit some cash and to another bank to withdraw some money.So I had my morning tea and got out for the bank at about 11:30 am.So outside the First bank there was this long queue of people standing, just for their turn to go inside and do their thing.It was quite hot out there and had to stand there for about quarter of an hour or so.Deposited the money and rushed to the other bank only to find myself behind another long queue of people.This time the line was inside the premises of the bank(Since the bank is located at the first floor so the line was from ground floor to the entrance at the first floor).So I somehow managed to withdraw money from there and came back home fully exhausted at around 2:30 pm.Had my lunch and thought of taking a nap and continuing my daily routine of improving communication skills followed by meditation and Exercise.I was so exhausted that the nap became a full fledged sleep and I woke up at 6:30 pm and my daily routine had already been shattered and somehow I didn't have any motivation to do anything and had my evening tea and snack and was on my phone surfing YouTube all the time.So all in all it was not at all a productive day.I hope tomorrow will be better.
    And yeah Stay strong and stay healthy!! Gonna make this the longest streak ever.cheers! Bye.

    Woke up at about 9:30 am.Had a heavy breakfast.Was feeling lazy all day as it was raining since the morning and the weather was pretty good.Could have as well avoided the regular routine but thank god as dusk approached, I forced myself into the routine and did my daily self talk, meditation and exercise.The training part was especially good since I have been doing it for some days now.Self talking session was not good since I couldn't talk to myself for long as I was getting calls from my mom.After the session I had my evening tea and helped my mom learning basic english.After that I had my dinner played a bit of 8 ball pool and now I off to bed.Uptill now I have not been getting those bad urges but I know it would hit in the upcoming days.So just preparing my mind for it.Cheers! Keep going!! Bye

    The urges are getting stronger by the day.It got really strong when I was alone in my flat in the afternoon.Basically I had gone there for my daily routine of exercise and meditation.I somehow managed to do some push ups to control the urges.Then I got into full fledged exercises and had a cold shower and it went off.I am even getting urges at the moment but I am somehow controlling myself.Hope these urges pacify and don't be this intensive in the journey onwards.Gotta sleep quickly or else I'm gonna relapse.Keep fighting people.Its worth it.lets make our current streaks the longest of our lives.Cheers! Keep going.Bye

    Today was a total waste.Did nothing except playing pool and Eating and lying on bed.
    Usual timings of my session is around 3-4 PM.Went on delaying the session and at around 5 PM had to go the E corner to deposit cash in my brother's a/c.After I came back all my motivation of doing the session was over.Yeah so it was a totally unproductive day.
    Hope to have a good day tomorrow.Keep Going! Keep Fighting! See ya! Bye
