Getting going again. Kind of scared how far my mindset went. Probably worse than ever by a good deal and the drop starter from being in a better place than before. There is no maintaining a status quo. I think I defeat PMO or it defeats me in the last end.
I think so, but to make sure you can manually block the website by adding the URL to your blocklist in the router
I got a new job!!! I did 2 exams and had 4 interviews in English (which is not my native language ), before Nofap I wouldn't pass the first ONE , somehow I was able to control my feelings and become slightly less awkward . To be honest I feel so proud and I consider it an achievement because I was unemployed for 2 years. I realized that life is getting harder and harder every day thus I need a tough mentality to advance through it, and with PMO I will go nowhere. All in all , you attract good things doing nofap. this made more persistent to get fully recovered ,and while doing so I will not hesitate helping others to get recovered as well .
A bit of a wank avoidance tip that I use. Whenever I click on a link that I feel might lead to lewd content, I first don’t click it if I have more than a 40% belief that it contains anything, but, if I’m unsure, I stare into the top left corner of the screen, and, if my peripheral vision captures a red flag, I click the back button to avoid confrontation. Any other tips out there?
Duuude! Notice a body part, cast your eyes away and don’t take another look. It’s exactly what I do. Boosts your baseline of anxiety a little, but defends any urge ever.
july 1st 2019. Been at this since I was 20 but been on the site working on it for a while. It was fun to look at this and the early journal. Lots of people have found success. I used to look at all the missing and see it as negative.
Thanks Rokus! I'm grateful that you guys are taking part in this thread I created. It helps me a lot too.
checking in. Happy to get to 60 days. This is my second longest streak of all time and I’ve had years of 1-3 week streaks. My mood has been a little up and down, like I’ll be genuinely happy most of the time and motivated then not feel like getting off the couch the minority, but my sexual interest is low, which is nice. I like all these little tips. My strategy when I see an attractive woman is to imagine her negative qualities. Is she selfish, crazy, demanding? It was The School of Greatness by Lewis Howes but I actually don’t know which episode. I was ripping through them while doing a project. I’ll check out that episode, thanks for the recommendation. Just started The Molecule of More. Interesting so far. I find 3 weeks the hardest. When I can actually get past 3 weeks, it settles down.
Day 169. I was thinking today about how drastically different life is for me, as opposed to 169 days ago. I'm happier, more confident, more outgoing. I care way more about my appearance than I think I ever have. I have clearer thinking and seem to really just enjoy the most simple things. Silence for long periods of time is now refreshing. I take cold showers daily. I meditate daily, often several times. I have absolutely no problem striking up conversations with gorgeous women. Heck, today, I literally felt like a woman I had just met was undressing me with her eyes. Her look was quite intense. And she did it on two separate interactions. I use to feel so intimidated by pretty women. NOT ANYMORE! After refusing to let my former facility owner tell me what I could charge, I'm now training at a new facility where they are literally building it around me. They're marketing and promoting me all over their social media and website. It's so awesome! I no longer have a negative and pessimistic outlook on life and the things happening to me right now, in my opinion, are a direct result in the change in my approach to just life in general. I could probably go on and on, but I guess I'm just actually starting to live instead of simply existing!!!
this is a beautiful success story , thank you sir , you motivated me to keep going although I don't have that long streak but I also can relate with what you're saying, I'm currently not looking for women attraction atm ( however it would be great to have it ) ,but I'm focusing on getting successful at my career , can you tell me how nofap helped you doing your job and how easy things/ tasks got for you with such long streak at your work ?
