2 days of freedom!!! I sometime think the people with 100+ days and similar long streaks are not real on NoFap. I think these are just bots. Why would someone keep coming to this forum if he/she has almost forgotten the addiction. Why would anyone want to remind himself of this filthy thing again and again by visiting this forum. Also I've noticed that I just forget this forum as I go a bit longer like say 30 days or so. Let me know what you think...
I guess it depends on the severity of the addiction, or what people are using the site for. Some people do take longer to recover, or need something to hold themselves accountable for a longer period of time. It's also part of the fun to complete the challenges as well. Advice and tips from people who have long streaks (and have made changes in their lives) are also welcome. You also get used to doing this with others, and sort of become cyber-friends, and the site becomes a regular platform to converse with people. It's good if you can crack on with life around the 30 day mark, but it's not necessarily the same for everyone. I don't think it's a bad thing if people are still around, even if they've hit 500 days for example. They still make valuable contributions on those that take longer to recover, or they wish to impart knowledge to the next generation of Nofappers.
Day 7 in the books! While I didn’t exactly accomplish everything I wanted to this first I week, I’m still proud of myself. This coming week I’ll be meditating everyday and reading for around 2 hours everyday - those are my goals. I’ve started running on my treadmill again, I enjoy it and I’ve fitted it into my routine. I’m looking forward to building my cardio, I’ll add in weightlifting soon enough. I’m looking forward to week 2. The quest to destroy my PMO ring goes on… Definitely focus on not binging - it’s the trap I always fall into. You’ve got the strength to look past this one slip up. Please don’t fall back down the hole like I did.
Day 164! to share my experience and journey. to make new friends to get some advices to motivate them to help friends
Hey mates, I made a mistake. Smoked a cigarette a moment ago. I want to quit that too. What you suggest
Day 118 You have a point there, brother. We're definitely not bots haha... But why should we keep coming back is a good question. Maybe, to add another good reason with @Baki Hanma, is to not forget that we can fall any day, that we didn't just get passed it, we can still be really weak to dopamine urges. I was at 450 days like a year ago. And I fell because I got my guard down...
// Day 1 Alas! A dream in the night made my body automatically ejaculate and then I fell prey to the Chaser Effect... My journey to rid Middle-Earth of the One Ring continues anew!
Day 1. I'm still in a comfortable place with little to no urges, I feel motivated to reboot by joining this challenge.
