Like some other guys here, I am definitely seeing a sudden emergence of new hair popping up on my chest and legs. This is not my imagination as I am over 40 and was the only male in my family with a bare chest. I had also lost most of my leg hair and the legs are already starting to fill in again, nice bonus. If that's placebo, I want me some more placebo

Congrats. You did it... I wish i could make it to 30 days, now i just try to get through each day. Just want to tell you that in my country they think leg hair and chest hair are not good looking, and i have them ( not so much, just visible). Your post save me from the thought that i am not good looking. Thank you

Yes! 33 days.
Here's what I've noticed. These are consistent with other fapstronauts:
1. Brighter eyes. Just in the last few days.
2. Skin tone much improved, again, just last few days.
3. Fog cleared at about 20 days.
4. A couple of short flatlines. One with some night anxiety and panic attacks resulting from stuff that my former fappy self had procrastinated on before nofap. My former fappy self had avoided doing things he didn't want to do by using PM to feel better. Started taking 2 melatonin half hour before bed. Much better sleep and feel more like tackling jobs now, even unpleasant ones.
5. No insane energy but definitely more energy and definitely starting to handle stress better, mainly because I'm taking care of business instead of freeing Willy.
6. Women are definitely starting to notice me. I'm so unused to it that I actually have to consciously tell myself not to be paranoid. They're not chasing me (good because I'm happily married) but they're not avoiding me. Starting about a week ago they've started smiling. I am so not used to that. Naturally, I wondered if they were being sarcastic and really making fun of me. But then I started thinking, hey, what if they're just not creeped out now? It's hard to get used to and a struggle to not get automatically defensive. Many of you will know just what I mean. This is real. I was extraordinarily skeptical of the reports from others but now I know what it's like. To top it off, men aren't looking at me like I'm less than a man but like they take me seriously. Imagination? Placebo effect? What difference does it make? It's a whole new thing for me.
7. Starting to feel my old ambition from 30 years ago re-sparking. Getting excited about future projects.
8. In the last week I've started to not give a fuck about what others think. I have no idea why I ever did before.
9. Cravings yes but when they happen I think, "Dude, you don't want to go back. You don't want to relapse for the millionth time. Be a man and stop being a 14 year old.
10. Like some other guys here, I am definitely seeing a sudden emergence of new hair popping up on my chest and legs. This is not my imagination as I am over 40 and was the only male in my family with a bare chest. I had also lost most of my leg hair and the legs are already starting to fill in again, nice bonus. If that's placebo, I want me some more placebo.
11. Not so happily, I can now see it on guys' faces when they have a PM problem. Hard to put into words but it's a kind of dull, soiled sort of look with creepy eyes. I shudder to think I probably looked like that to others. I never want that again. I also am more noticing when guys have bright eyes and glowing appearance. Yeah, that's way better. Thank God I found out about the nofap community. It's already changing my life.

To those struggling. Get through the next hour. Get through today. Don't take any chances with triggers. You will regret it. If you fail, don't stop trying. Ever.

Okay, if anybody stumbles on this thread I wanted to give an update. I want you to know that all the benefits became just a normal part of my life. On the day I write this, I am 1.5 years into my nofap streak. I haven't counted days in a long time because the new me isn't really keeping track of the old me anymore. I just want guys to know that it can be done if you set your mind to it and don't give up when you fail. I relapsed more times than most of you but there came a day when I said "No more!" That was the first day of my new life. You can do this!

Good of you to pop back on here.
Really encouraging to read what you say (and said). I too feel that I sort of didn't fully complete puberty, so we shall see.
Many thanks.

Fantastic, well done!
I'm on day 23 now, already noticed the following:
1. Cleaner face, especially on my forehead and nose
2. More confidence (might be cos I don't feel condemned half the time)
3. Less brain fog - I have had a few great ideas lately.
4. Few women that smiled at me where they would usually almost avoid me while I stared at them. Now I'm the one ignoring them.
5. My beard usually takes weeks to grow half an inch. Feels quicker, but I might be wrong.

The irony is that this is how you are supposed to live and how your body should function. We think it's super but it's just normal for nofappers...
 
Wait you're still on 33 days or 500+ now? haha

Congrats on everything. I cant wait to witness and experience all this. PMO addiction has taken away too much from us. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!

You won't regret this. The next few weeks will become much more challenging than you think so keep those positive thoughts and I know you can do it.
