    I think I will do the same for 100 days.
    Great stuff.

  4. Another idea . . . how about a 50 cent piece? You can carry that around in your pocket. Maybe even one from your birth year . . . or from the year when you hit that 50 day mark.

    And then, when you get to 100 days, get yourself a nice silver dollar and carry that bad boy around in your pocket :cool:

    That is a great idea - I think i'll do that or something very similar. I'm not that much into jewelery so it mich work, or maybe get something engraved on the back of my watch.

    Thanks for your support and thoughts guys!

    I haven't been on the forum in the past few months much, but I do have some progress to report now. First off, I've started to wear the necklace after 50 days and I have to say - it's awesome! When I had some urges during the 70 - 90 day period, I didn't have to go looking for notes on why noFap is great or struggle alone - just holding the necklace for a moment would remind me why are we doing this. I've also got comfortable wearing it, it seems alpha to me now :D
    I've also started to wear some different pendants around day 100 to get some change, although the original is definitely my favourite.

    I'm going to disappoint you a bit though - I've relapsed after about 130 days (stopped counting by then), I've had a lot on my plate and dropped my guard when I was hungover and alone. I won't go into the details, that's what relapse reports are for. I am doing fine again now, however, I've lost the streak so I've had to stop wearing the token for a while.
    I'll have to get back to a month again before I allow myself to wear it again - and it's been a great additional motivation so far.

    It's great to hear that some of you liked the idea and thought about doing something similar - did that work out for you?

    Hey, happy to answer:
    1. I've noticed the most dangerous situation for me is being alone with nothing to work on after spending an exhausting time around a lot of people. For example, some of the most tempting times were hungover mornings after a party in an empty house, when you have nothing to do (and it's how I've lost the streak in the end). The best strategy I've devised against those times is to prepare a plan for what to do and stay active - I'll clean up the house, go running with a friend, just don't fuck around the computer in this tired and weakened state.
    Apart from those, I'd have urges when I get stuck on a difficult task, like a uni assignment. I've used to fap to release the frustration and the habit was quite strong. But noFap will helps you train the willpower to overcome it and the feeling of actually pushing through and solving the problem is 1000x better than looking at an unfinished task after the unearned PMO session.
    2. I suppose thinking you will be strong enough to resist the urges without any help is a mistake. Using porn blockers like pluckeye and qustodio on all devices helped tremendously, so did talking to some friends about PMO and getting more accountable.
    Generally, I didn't expect any "superpowers", but noFap completely changed my life and gave me the power to do stuff I wouldn't even think about before.

    A cool idea! It would be nice to have something official, although I still think it might not be ideal for some people because of the stigma bound to porn addiction. No disrespect towards people recovering from other addictions, but admitting to have a problem with porn rather than with e.g. alcohol feels much more personal to me. So I'm not sure if people starting with noFap would appreciate something this "public".
    Nonetheless, I too would be very happy to support someone making those, and I'd get some :D

    Now that sounds really great, I hope you'll go through with it!
