    Hi all.

    I'm resuming the NoFap routine after breaking up with my girlfriend of two years.

    This is my first breakup, so needless to say I'm really upset. I'd like to start an activity/sport to distract myself from this and help me with stay away from porn. I used to go out for jogging, but I haven't been able to lately due to a health-related issue. I'm planning on starting jogging again, but it's kinda boring so I'd also like to do something else.

    The thing is my job involves rolling shifts, so I can't join any classes/activities that require regular attendance. I'm therefore looking for an activity I can do on my own.

    What do you guys like to do to channel your urges? Any suggestions are welcome.

    Reading, writing, drawing, listening to podcasts, listening to music.
    You could try learning a language, or start hiking. Also try meditating.

    I channel my urges cleaning the house lol, but I like swimming as well. Try to find a pool where you can go when you want, not swimming classes but recreational swimming, or a recreative place where you don't have to attend schedules.

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I used to read a lot, but I don't have to time or inclination to do so lately. I'll try to force myself to read more.

    The best recoveries i've seen are cases in which people go somewhere really really far from where they usually go. Stay somewhere for the weekend where no one knows who you are. Meet 5 new people in the little shops, and do not take your phone with you.
