    Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening -depending on your perspective in the world.

    Today is March 4th. The start of the fourth day of No Masturbation March. I figured I would start a thread as a personal check in, but maybe others might want to update their progress here as well?

    Anyway, yesterday was HUGE for me. No work, no school, no commitments. Snowed in all day. Extreme withdrawal symptoms. But did not relapse! Boredom has been my #1 enemy whilst doing nofap. So yesterday was such an accomplishment, I feel so great about it.

    I am seriously ready to get past the rewiring period, and start enjoying a fix-free life. It has been over 8 years since my problem. Never have gone longer than two weeks without PMO or MO.

    Ready for this March of 2014 to be the official start to breaking my addiction. I can tell my mind is dying for that dopamine, as the toughest moments of temptation I don't even have an erection. It's just a brain-boner wanting to get that good feeling without working for it.

    Today my dopamine source will be from a good workout, and from sticking to a lean-healthy diet.

    Have a great Tuesday, Fapstronauts!

    Hi Sam,
    I'm really glad for you buddy in staying strong yesterday. I know how hard it can be when you're home alone with nothing to do. Those are the most testing moments.

    I myself want to join you on this goal. I have not gone more then 7 days without PMO in as long as I can remember. But, I took the big leap and set my counter at 30 days. I'm following that up with a good plan of how I will reach that objective.

    Stay in touch!

    Great job on staying clean. Boredom is one of the biggest problems. You proved something to yourself yesterday. Keep up the good work. Remember the suffering is only temporary

    Thank you for all the responses!

    The interesting thing about dopamine, from a non-sexual perspective, is that we unknowingly get it from more (incorrect) sources than I initially realized. I searched it on Google and was interested in an article about dopamine addiction that didn't even mention sex or porn. In our instant-gratification society, we get a little shot when we see that we have a new text message, important email, Facebook posts, etc. I've actually turned off most of my notifications on my phone to help keep my mind from triggering a happy/excited reaction to those things. Not suggesting anyone do that, just thought it was very intriguing! I know it's all too true for me.

    I am actually looking for an accountability partner if anyone is interested. Not sure if it's against forum rules but maybe exchange email first then numbers? A text is much easier to send during a tempting time. Just hmu if you want to!

    This is our month! Let's be able to look back on it as the month of beginning a new way of living.

    Thanks again!

    After a relapse, I'm now on day 10 again, and things change. Random women on the street look at me and smile at me. They sense my nofap aura and I feel it.
