    * I'm grateful for J. R. R. Tolkien.

    * I'm grateful for Tove Jansson. She is the illustrator and author of the Moomin books. Snufkin, my avatar and a role model to me, is a character in those books. In the early 90's there was a Japanese-European animated TV-series based on her cartoons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moomin_(1990_TV_series)

    That series was a huge part of my childhood. I've been told that one of the first full sentences I ever said was from that series. As a baby/toddler, I raised my mug at the dinner table and said "låt oss skåla!", ("I propose a toast!").

    * I'm grateful for David Bowie. Especially his album Low has meant a lot to me. It's so beautiful, and what I got from it was an ability too sometimes be able to look at my sadness and melancholy in a poetic way. So that it then doesn't disturb me and get in my way as much.

    Other songs he's made that have been important to me are: Kooks, Five years, Rock 'N' Roll suicide, Who can I be now, Right, Word on a wing, Sense of doubt, Moss garden, Fantastic voyage, Fashion, Cat people and China girl.

    To name a few. I listened a lot to him a few years ago. Absolutely amazing music, but you know, sometimes you need ch-ch-changes. God, I haven't listened to his last album yet. But I've heard a few of the songs on it and they are of course amazing. It was such a shock when he died. Thank you for everything man.

    1. I'm grateful for the peace and quiet today. I dislike being in a noisy, bustling environment when nursing a hangover.
    2. I'm grateful that I don't have any substantial eye injuries. My friend does and is in very serious pain. I hope he gets better.
    3. I'm grateful that I'm still under 30 years of age. I've still got plenty of years to have fun and live an awesome life!

    1. I'm grateful I'm still on good terms with my mother. There are various reasons for this, but I'll keep it short. A lot of people have lost touch with their families. Some of the people in my family have fallen by the wayside for various reasons. I'm glad I still have this relationship.

    2. I'm grateful that I have failed to keep up this challenge. That's not a critique of this challenge at all (which I think is a fucking great idea), it just highlights the lack of consistency that has blighted my life, and my inconsistency here is another example of that. What I'm really grateful for is the awareness I've gained.

    3. I'm grateful for the things my body can tell me. I set out to do a 180km bike ride yesterday, but right now I have a stomach infection. I'm grateful that my body gave me a very strong indication that yesterday it would be a bad idea, before something really bad happened.
     
    1. I'm grateful for the slight influx in sales I've seen this week.
    2. I'm grateful for having people I can open up/vent to when I'm not at my best.
    3. I'm grateful for everyone I have met in this life, whether it was a brief fleeting moment, or something longer, everyone has played their part.

    * I'm grateful for the two cats I grew up with, dad had a cat and mom had a cat. Neither of them are alive anymore. I lived mostly with my dad so I was closest to the cat we had at dad's house.

    I was 12 years old, we had moved so I had to start in a new school. I wasn't feeling good very mentally at the time, I was anxious and didn't feel like I could fit in my new class. Then we got the cat, she was a stray cat and at first she didn't dare to go inside our house. I used to sit outside with her in the snow and pet her.

    * I'm grateful that I grew up mostly on the country side. Being able to be out in the forest so much was amazing. It was amazing sometimes having moose or roe deer in the garden. Hearing the sound of woodpeckers, I love that sound. Having a great view of the stars on clear nights.

    * I had a computer of my own growing up but I didn't have access to the internet on it. So if I wanted to use the internet I had to use my dad's computer or a computer at school or at a library. And I used the internet with friends when visiting them.

    I'm really grateful that I grew up with a limited access to the internet. I managed to get quite messed up despite that, but Jesus Christ what a wreck I would have become if I had grown up with unlimited internet access.

    I read books growing up. Even in my teenage riot years I read books, I read the Godfather, other books by Mario Puzo and other books about gangsters. Now after having had internet access for a few years, I sort of have to force myself to read books because I know it's good for me. I didn't care at all about doing things that were good for me as a teenager, I just read books because I felt like it.

    1. I am grateful for my willpower

    I have literally spent 16 hours in the library working today. It gets frustrating and very hard. But with willpower I can do it and I am grateful that I have the willpower to do it.

    2. I am grateful for the fact I get to meet so many people


    I am absolutely amazed at the wide range of people I have the good fortune to meet . I was walking through the library today and I literally ran into 7 different people from different friend groups I knew. I twas amazing. I learn so much from them.

    3. I am grateful for the challanges in my life

    I am grateful for the fact that life does put you though periods of extreme stress. As I am in now. It brings out some amazing things in you, it makes you do things you never thought you were capable of. I was able to memorize 150 drugs and their side effect, indications etc. in one day.

    1. I'm grateful for the roof over my head right now. The rain is like an Indian monsoon at the moment. It's insane.
    2. I'm grateful for the breakfast I'm eating. Not everyone enjoys three square meals a day.
    3. I'm grateful for all the hundreds of hours of meditation I've racked up over the years. Meditation = healthy brain.

    1. I'm grateful for whatever ailment I had over the weekend. I've literally purged a lot of shit without any other side-effects. Maybe it wasn't an ailment, maybe my body just had something it needed to get rid of, but right now I feel great.

    2. I'm grateful that I live in a first world, developed nation with good public infrastructure. The purge I described above could have been very messy in a lot of other countries.

    3. I'm grateful for night air. I love it.

    So I'm actually feeling kinda low at the moment, so hopefully this will help;

    1. I am grateful that, despite not feeling too good, I am still in good health and the world has not come to an end haha.

    2. I am grateful that I was able to put in lunch today from home for work. This also means I won't have to spend money.

    3. I am grateful to say that I am actually feeling better now while typing this 3rd insert....

    1/ I'm thankful because i have a job, a roof on my head and food on my table,
    2/ I'm thankful because i do not know what it is like to live in a country at war,
    3/ I'm thankful for my courageous wife, my friends who said nice things about me.
    BONUS: I'm thankful for you guys. Your stories helped me.
     
    1. I am grateful for how immensely happy I feel lately, and how wonderful life has been to me in recent times.
    2. I am grateful for how much easier this challenge has become as time goes on - while my libido is still high, and the desire for ejaculation with my girlfriend is still there - the desire to bring myself to ejaculation via M without anyone else being involved is completely gone.
    3. I am grateful for the workout equipment my friend contributed towards recently - as it's helped me take my workouts to the next level.

    1. I am grateful for my energy

    Seriously, I love, love, love the fact I have so much more energy now a days. I can't express how nice it is to be able to no even have the slightest inclination to have a nap in the afternoon anymore. There is so much you can do!

    2. I am grateful for NoFap


    Well, thank you for this community in general to allow us to work towards self-improvement together.

    3. I am grateful for bikes

    I don't know what I would do without my bike. I literally ride is everywhere to move about. It cuts down travel time so much. For example to walk to the library my friends have to walk a good 25 minutes, for me its a 5-7 minute bike ride.

    * I'm grateful for my windows. They give me a nice view, with them I can let air in and I can open them to make my apartment cooler.

    * I'm grateful for the window blinds. Without them the room would be too light to get good sleep in.

    * I'm grateful for my lamps. They make it possible for me to read and see clearly at night even if it's relatively dark outside.

    2. I'm grateful for the clean air that I breathe. Not everybody has this luxury.
