    Finally made it! Although I'm only a third of the way through my journey I can confidently say this is the longest amount of time I've gone without porn for about 7 years and I don't intend on going back.


    Noticeable Improvements:

    Social Anxiety Hugely Reduced- As I said before, I used to get really bad social anxiety- I'd hate meeting new people and would would sweat absolutely LOADS whenever I was forced into an uncomfortable situation. Now I look forward to meeting new people, I crack jokes and initiate more conversation. That awful sweating I used to get is pretty much gone.

    More confidence-
    This links in with the social anxiety, I just generally feel more confident- I walk straighter and make strong eye contact with people. I used to double and triple think every thought that came to my mind when talking with people, but these days I'm a lot more open and tend to just straight say what I'm thinking.

    Brain fog vanished- I think all nofappers can relate to the brain fog you get when into pmo. I'm glad to say this is completely gone, I can focus like there's an infra red scope in my brain and I no longer get those awful lapses of just forgetting or doing the dumbest shit.

    Happiness- This is a huge one, I am so so happy and positive these days it's unbeliavable. Some days I'm just walking about in the sun and I can't stop grinning- I just feel so good! I used to do this shy little smile when I'd meet people before, but now I treat them to my best grin and they love it!

    There are a lot more benefits than this, but I've just put down the first few main ones that came to mind. Of course it wasn't all plain sailing, the first few days were rough, I had a lot of mood swings in the first couple of weeks and I still get regular headaches, but this is a small price to pay for everything I've found.

    I want to keep building myself up from here to become the best I can be and I'm taking on the 30 day Rejection Game challenge which another forum user, giggleshmack posted a while ago to try get rid of my fear of rejection.

    Good luck to all you other nofap brothers out there, if you've got any questions please feel free to ask :)

    Great post! I would really like some more information on this Rejection Game challenge :)

    I looked it up at first but couldn't find anything, decided to try again and here it is: http://www.nofap.com/forum/showthread.php?29520-Rejection-Therapy&highlight=Rejection+Game

    If you could share some questions you'll use for the challenge that would be awesome!
     
  5. I echo your post. Thirty days in and I can say that I am experiencing each of the things you mention. Thank you for a good, inspiring summary.
