Advice from a 1000 day+ Fapstronaut.

Just reading about on many different sites...I came across this story on YBOP.com..I thought I'd share it because its huge inspiration...

“Who you were yesterday determines who you are today. But what you do today determines who you are tomorrow. Keep up the NoFap and you will be a god every day.”

It’s been a long journey, NoFap, and I never thought I’d make it this far. I couldn’t have done it without the support of this community and all of you incredible people. Thank you.

The truth is, I haven’t gone a thousand days without PMO, and you shouldn’t think of it that way, I’ve really only gone one.

This is a battle you fight one day at time. You give it your best, you scream as loud as you need to, take cold showers, do push ups, pursue new hobbies, grit your teeth and distract yourself away from those old habits with whatever you can. And, somehow, you’re never really sure how, you manage to get yourself to get through the day without PMO. And now you’ve made it a whole day. Now you can wake up the next day and know you’ve taken one the biggest steps you can take towards where you want to be, and that, if you stay strong, you CAN do this.

If you can get through the first day, you have it in you to get through the first ninety, and the rest to come. Thinking of NoFap as a battle you have to fight FOREVER, every day, just makes it harder on you, and it’s not true.

And, trust me, it does get easier. Even now I try to stay vigilant against PMO, because it really is one step away to failure IF you let it be. But after the first 30 days, the first 90 days, your brain starts to change. The way you think, feel, and function starts to change. You brain won’t think you NEED PMO as much as it did before, and you’ll go longer and longer stretches of time without even remembering about it.

If you’ve got a goal for a specific number of days, track every single day you’ve completed, and every single day you’ve got to go. “X days down, Y days to go” is what I told myself every day until the thoughts of PMO became so infrequent entire days would go by before I remembered. (And, yes, that change will come with time.)

You all have no idea what you’re capable of. It sounds silly, you’re just taking a break from PMO, how could that be any sort of a big deal? But it’s only the beginning. NoFap will not miraculously change your life, but it will give you the means to do it yourself. You’ll start to have a lot more free time and unbounded energy. You’ll start to feel more clear headed, and get back a longer attention span. Above all, you’ll start to have control of your own emotions and where your own life is going. Because you’ve seen unbearable desire firsthand, you’ve felt your body giving you the absolute most powerful urges it could to do something and.. you said no.

There's something very Buddhist about it, but that's one of the most incredible things you will gain from NoFap. You will learn to let emotions wash over you and not pull you in. Lust for addictions, fear of new things or rejection, slowly you realize that nothing in reality is ever as bad or as uncontrollable as you anticipate it to be. You take on cold showers, you start working out, you stop caring about things that don't matter, and you go for the people and the things you want.

The best part of NoFap is that realization that there is NOTHING in the whole world stopping you from accomplishing anything except for you. And I encourage all of you to stick it out until you get there. Don't listen to my words, find out what I mean for yourselves. It is worth it, just fight it one day at a time. Best of luck, fapstronauts.

Since I started NoFap, I’ve been able to pursue some of my dreams that I never thought I’d be capable of. I’m working a job I love, I finished my education with great scores, I’ve started working out, and I’ve had the good fortune to date some very incredible women that I wouldn’t have been able to before. Before NoFAp, I would only ever think about the goals I wanted to get done, but always be too depleted and tired to ever do anything about them. Now, I’m always trying to move forward with new goals, and I know that NoFap is what continually makes that possible for me.

That’s the difference NoFap has made for me, and that’s the difference I hope it makes for all of you. You are all stronger than you think, and great things lay ahead for you. Godspeed, fapstronauts.

What you’re missing is that the path itself changes you. You’re weak because you haven’t stepped on the path. When you do, a process will begin. As you climb the mountain, you’ll get stronger. Your plastic brain will be shaped by the path. You might think this path isn’t for you, but it is—you’ll just change along the way. The path itself will toughen you up for the end.
