    Quitting alcohol (for good)

    After having abstained from alcohol for over two weeks, I can only admit how great it feels staying away from this poison. Although, I have never been a large consumer, a few drinks/beers per week have apparently been enough to make me feel like shite, both physically and mentally. From the...

    Cleaning the house is almost impossible

    Just a few days ago I started to make some changes in my bedroom , and when I finished it, I continued my work with the living room. But my parents won’t let me sell, donate or store any of the many things they don’t longer need and make the living room a messy place to work. And the icing on...

    Trying to get over my victim mentality.

    When I was younger I used to blame my problems on every other person and say "It's their fault that I'm in this situation."

    I'd like some advice for feeling stuck in life

    I logged on today because I want to confess something and in doing so unburden myself. All I've been doing for the past few days was sit in bed, watch TV, go to training and sleep. Besides Jiujitsu and a little bit of Yoga, I'm spending a ridiculous amount of time watching TV in a day. I hate...

    Must read if you're sick of feeling that you're not good enough

    I am looking to make a big accountability group for self-development. Most people are on nofap for some silly reason, but those who really want to improve themselves know that nofap will not make your life better alone. You need self -discipline, self-mastery and an abundant amount of desire for...

    What's your story?

    I have been fapping since I was 14. I used to tell my self that I'll only jerk off and won't reach to orgasm, but boy was I wrong! I'm now 21 years old and continued to fap like 2-3 times a week or so. This affected my personal and work life severely. I had started losing confidence, focus, lost...

    Be The Change You Want to See in Yourself

    TL DR: This movement has gotten away from the self-improvement side of the coin. Don't wait for NoFap "superpowers". If you want to see an improvement in an area of your life (women attraction, confidence, etc), you need to work on that area specifically. Head: I've been on NoFap.com for about...

    Nofap does not work.

    Everything in life which you take action towards has a consequence and unless there's a consequence,there's a reason to take that action. And In case of self-development the consequence is a better life,a hotter girl,more income but more importantly good habits. The main reason why we are on...

    What Goes In, Must Come Out
