self betterment

I have seen many girls anytime in life, but just never been in a actual relationship. It always getting rejecting, left on read or ignored,etc. Since This year, after having not a good experience going to my first football game, I have been relapsing constantly. Streaking have been up or down...

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...

100 Days NoFap Challenge To Meet A New & Strong Self In Year 2023 The journey to quit porn addiction, it may be hard and frustrating as hell, but it's not impossible. But remember you can do it & only you have to do it, there's no any Genie in the world who will come to you and will serve you...

Sup fellow Fapstronauts.I'm your average Fapstronauts, got a heavy porn addiction. Thought maybe I should take some action. I know I can't stay like this, this will probably be the solution to it. Although... I need to work for it. Wish me luck.

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...

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." But now I've come to realize that that everyone including myself plays a hand in problems What matters is how you respond to them but as I grew older I turned to Stoicism I...

I want to stop consuming caffeine. It's gonna be tough for me. I would try to write my struggle here and hopefully I would stay accountable to my journey. Thanks.

Hello! I am tired because my insomnia had a bad night last night, excuse any badly written sentences or faulty grammar. I am someone who has relapsed again and again for 3 years while trying to get free from porn and I finally found a way to get to at least 7 weeks (I don't keep track, you...

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...

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...

Eliminate all sexual thoughts, erotic dreams and depraved fantasies from your brain, and free your mind of all such negativity to make space for positivity and self-improvement. Avoid all such distracting thoughts and completely focus on whatever you're doing. Stop all forms of entertainment...

In the past two months I have been meditating on a regular basis, and it has worked wonders! One learns that the mind is the cause of much of your stress/depression. It has helped me with my social anxiety, porn addiction, and questions about life by teaching me to observe my thoughts rather...

Hi everyone, New member here! Porn and Fapping is something I'm now super determined to give up on, more than ever before. I thought I'd post my story here - not sure anyone will be interested, but it's good for my recovery trail to journal my thoughts and motivations for quitting. I also...

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...

Ok guys so I'm new to this site, this is a pretty heavy for my first ever post, but from what i gathered here a lot of people here are focused a lot on self improvement and I thought it'll be ok to post this here. So Im almost 32 now and I don't think I've ever held a girl/womans hand before or...

Hey so I have been looking at the topic and the history of it; & seeing a lot of stuff based on exercises & not sure how to start getting into it so I am wondering if any one else know about Indian Club Swinging and how a noob can start? Why I am getting interested in this topic, is...

5 minutes ago I started writing what happened today in my new journal. It is amazing, it's like talking to a friend, your future self. He knows you, you predict how he will look like, you joke on who you are with him, you tell your future self some details he might forget in the years. You...

We've Been Had. I know that most of you folks have noticed that there is something fundamentally wrong with the society we live in; that's why many of you are here. The pornography industry is one of those things. There are, however, many others. Since you've started this journey you must've...

Hey, I was wondering if there are some apps or websites you use to develop some skills, become better as an individual, boosts your productivity or health. Like, for me, I love Keep Notes by google for setting reminder, making to-do lists and anything I feel I may forget later. For fitness 7...

I will turn 22 yo tomorrow on 7th of Nov, 2019. After years of failing , relapsing and breaking down I have finally decided to evolve myself to my full potential. Porn and Fap addiction have directly as well as indirectly hampered my progress in every way possible like Social Awkwardness and...

I've been feeling like shit for these past few weeks, so I just decided to come here and ask for some advice. For the past few months I've been browsing some incel forums everyday. I find that I am able to relate to the people there. That being because we are all virgins who share a variety of...

Hey everyone. Considering I have been jerking off consistently with one arm for around 4 years I have developed a muscle imbalance in the upper half of my body. I am someone who works out and enjoys their fitness and have recently been challenging my limits with things such as push ups and chin...

I spent way too much time watching porn and masturbating. I knew it for a long time, but it's very difficult to break the habits I fell into. To try to help distract and to try to help grow better as a person I started trying to do a lot of other physical and social activities. I think it's...

I am new to nofap. As far as I have heard it is recommended that I pickup a hobby to swap the habit of fapping. I am not having any idea on what hobby to pursue. I would really to happy to hear any suggestions or recommendation.

Well, I said a few weeks back when I relapsed after a year I was going to take a break, but amazingly, that never happened! Even though my PMO streak ended a few weeks back, I'm back on it. What's more amazing is I haven't watched any porn since my challenge began in November 2017. However I'm...

I have a full blown Youtube addiction. Spend easily more than 7 hours a day watching the most stupid and pointless videos. I think quitting as many unnecessary and unhealthy dopamine sources as possible during this reboot will be very helpful (Plus I'd like not to fail this semester at uni)...

Had the worst of the 21 days yesterday. I almost gave in completely. I couldn't control myself. I couldn't think straight . I am getting to that point where I feel that this is all pointless and just one time watching porn won't be a problem. mind says " you haven't done anything for 21 days...

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...

Familiar phrase right? Maybe you've heard of people going through a lot of shit in their day by day life, when everything just seems to get worse everytime until finally they get where they wanted to be. I've heard from people who hit "rock bottom" as in poor, no home, no food, no friends, no...

At about 2:10 this morning, I broke a personal record. I was reasonably mad, but I focused on the fact that I had improved. My new record, 4 days, was double my previous record. In those 4 days, I had discovered that keeping myself distracted (reading a book, playing videogames, watching movies/...

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...

Hi guys. I know it was here just few hours ago, but this is a very sensitive for me, so i want to give it a proper space. I guess the top of mind answer is just quit and if i feel so vulnerable and insecure about it, it may be sign of addiction. But lets dig deeper. What does the weed mean for...

Finally, its not that big deal but my Another nofap day was successful holy craph i feel weird like somehow motivated... ❤

Hey everyone this is my first time here, lets get straight to the point. I'm sick and tired of porn can't even face myself in the mirror my studies are messed up i sleep too much, hate myself can't concentrate on anything I've tried everything but ends up....really bad.. Please give me some...

I'm doing a pushup challenge for self-improvement that will hopefully later on lead me to do cardio and heart healthy exercises, using the momentum I gain from this challenge. I will start by doing 15 assisted pushups every day for a week, and then the next week 20, and then 25, and then all the...

I just relapsed after 23 wonderful, odd, flatlining, PMO-free days. I don't plan on relapsing again, and I want to talk about how the gym has helped me get through this particularly difficult day. Clearly I have some work to do. But during those 23 days, I hit the gym. HARD. I ran on...

''Its not how hard you can hit, Its how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.'' - Rocky Balboa Guys i'm new and all i have is one day under my belt but one thing i'd like to share is a bit of inspiration in this group. I believe we can get over this and go on to the promise land but it...

Bit o' background first. This has been my longest streak so far. My previous record was a month. But that was a few relapses ago. My last streak was like a week long. After that I decided to get proper serious about NoFap and treat PMO addiction like a real addiction. So I've come across a...

So i've been doing substantial amounts of self-reflection lately; what kind of person I am, the kind of person i've been, and the kind of person I want to be. Some slightly epiphanic thoughts for me, but not at all entirely new concepts for many, were centered around the idea that I pollute my...

I have been thinking lately to make my life more interesting. When i talk to people i get awkward when replying to how i spent that day and I don't really have stuff to talk about Since i quit my addictions 9 months ago my life mainly consists of work and gym. I have been losing and gaining...

Fapstronauts, what time can u guys or girls run before NoFap and After NoFap? Me is 1.5 Mile in 15 minutes ( or more ) before NoFap and After NoFap is 11 minutes for 1.5 Mile. Also my 1 mile before NoFap is around 10 minutes and after NoFap is now 7 minutes and 10 seconds. I want to know more of...

Before NoFap: 1.5 Mile in 15 Minutes: After NoFap: 1.5 Mile less than 11 minutes:

My life has been too much out of control. Its time I control it.

Hi NoFap Community! My book, Stop Masturbating and Start Living: How to go from fappy to happy and overcome any vice or addiction (ISBN 978-0998734309) is officially out today. I gave my NoFap community a shoutout in the acknowledgements sections since a lot of this book was informed by you...

I started making friends again lately (so i am not talking to just this person), i am a 25-year old girl Basically I went out with this guy as friends and all 3 times he pulled me by my jumper Everytime he kept doing that, i thought he would have stopped after the first time he did it. Even on...

I've seen many threads where people are unable to escape from the grasps of PMO. I've a few suggestions of my own - 1. Delete all porn stuff (or fetish related stuff) immediately the moment you want to start no PMO. 2. Exhaust your body daily (by jogging, exercising etc.) 3. Meditate daily...

I'm a sedentary guy, so's the rest of my family. I realized this last week when I visited, and found that most of our time is spent sitting about with various forms of media. Becoming like that as I grow older is a clear possibility, more so for my chosen professional field. (Art) I don't know...

Has anyone had the problem of taking yourself to seriously or when interacting with a woman and she is joking around with you and you can't tell and you take her seriously and people in general ? If so any advice or tips and I'm going on 6 month streak of no pmo or M

So I am in a situation where I have to take a decision but the problem is that I have never taken much decisions on my own in my life. They have been influenced and imposed on me by my environment. I am 22 years old and frankly I don't feel good about this. I am so afraid of taking a decision...

Hi! Male, 23. Been doing PMO since 11 when I had first access to internet. At first, I started it out of curiosity but then I got addicted to it in an year. During the first few years, I didn't realize what I was doing to my body because the side-effects were not noticable. It was only after...

Hi guys, the past few days I havent even been focussing on NoFap because of things happening IRL. I'm going to try my best to explain the situation and would appreciate help from anyone with any experience or insight into this kind of thing. Anyway, here we go. I'm starting to think that my...

Please share any self improvement related quotes. Relating to any aspect of improvement but I will mainly be posting quotes related to inner growth as opposed to outer as in physical type things. But hey some classic bodybuilders had alot of good ones I am mainly saying this to avoid quotes...
