Day 5 update!

So guys it's Day 5 of my NoFap journey and yeahhh I'm on the struggle bus. Experiencing some brain fog, today alone I've felt really tired (had a long day of classes and homework yesterday maybe why), there are a lot of times where familiar feelings would come like of course being horny,bored,tired, or anxious. I've found a simple technique to help me get through the urges at that time. Out loud or in your head count down from 5 to 1 at a slow pace. For me by the time I get to 3 I can feel it subsiding. I do a lot of meditating partly because I'm a devout Christian and that's what got me interested with NoFap. So I pray and I mediate and I read The Bible and listen to a Podcast. Lastly I've just been staying busy whether it's class, homework, school related stuff or church related stuff.

Benefits: Sweets benefits lol first and foremost for me is the willpower to do better! I've never had a problem with my weight I played sports in school (just graduated from high school May '16) so I'm nice and slim and cut but since starting college I've kinda gotten into that junk food, eating out, not eating sometimes habit and I've gained a bit of body fat (still slim and cut looking) since I started NoFap I automatically have the drive to eat better. My conscience and my body finally agree on no fried foods and not a lot of eating out, so I love this benefit a lot. Another one is my energy level (minus a couple hours ago I took a nap and man it was hard to get up) it has been through the roof. I'm usually always full of energy and a energizer bunny but now it's on another level and its spread out over more areas in my life and throughout my day. Confidence is slowly starting to rise, I find myself saying who cares in my head about a lot of stuff. I stop trying to impress people hoping they wouldn't see the lust addiction inside of me. Now I have nothing to hide and with the help of God and the other benefits my body is working to set up the stage for my confidence so I'll be confident inside and outside! That's important to be confident in and out!

My urges are still there to MO! Now I honestly think I kicked Porn about 2 months ago. I had a relapse last Thursday and PMO'ed and did not get satisfied at all from it, I actually laughed because I couldn't believe it, I didn't feel bad about it because it was a waste of time. It's was 2 days after that whenever I started NoFap so porn urges don't bother anymore.

To everybody that's ahead and behind me keep it up bro's. We're in this together, I'm literally a message away and I'm sure y'all may have accountability partners that y'all talk to as well. I actually don't so if you need hit me up. Don't let me being a Christian stop you. I'm not going to force anything on you, I may encourage you with a bible verse or something but I'm not going to cross that line. If you ask I'll be happy to answer your question (NOT DEBATE), I want you to feel the JOY I feel. So peace out y'all and stay STRONG!
