    @zathura Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you have found something that might help you to end this addiction. Our counters are similar, you are only a couple of hours ahead. Let's make it to 90 days!

    @strength54 Thank you :)

    Really good article friend,
    helped me tremendously by identifying some of the things i was missing, especially the point you made about trying to stay busy is a recipe for failure. Now that I look back I realize this is why I have failed in the past, i need to identify the roots of my problems which is me running away from the stress of not meeting my long term goals. I need to realize that my short term goals are important and that good healthy habits will help me eventually lead the kind of life I want to live.

    I urge you my friend to carry on the good work and keep yourself PMO free even once you've met your goal of 35 days. ( I know you probably plan to do that but hope and would like to believe my comment would help you do so :) )

    Man, this thread is gold! @iHappy I love the work that you have done, and I am sure we all appreciate it.
    I am sure that you know, I have seen you commenting on a small post. That made me happy because sometimes I go to the forums and see hundreds of threads with views and no replies. But then you see the numbers of user online, and I am like, how come 300 users are online and nobody replies.
    Thanks again, and congratulations mate!

    @JugaadiLife Thank you very much for the kind words. I am glad that you have found this guide to be useful. The things I wrote helped me and there is no way I am stopping at day 35! I am going for porn free life :)

    @Strivefwd Thank you :)

    @Pacifico Man Thanks :) I am glad that it can help to some of the guys here. Supporting others is key. I agree with you, it sucks to see so many new threads in the newbies and relapse reports section. Those people need help and support, and like I said a single like or comment can make all the difference.

    It was good to read 'you can live without sex'
    I used to give too much importance to sex n felt left out. but it's a stupid obsession. it's great if you have a loved one, but to be sexually active just for the sake of it is stupid.

    @darkenedverse Thank you very much. I hope it helps you on your journey :)

    @Easton Pulver Thanks. You can find the same stuff in nearly every success story on this forum. People want to find some kind of "magic cure" but there isn't any. You have to do the work in order to break free from this addiction.

    Way to go, iHappy! Closing in on your goal and an inspiration to follow. I'm a ways behind you, but I'm following your path. Keep swinging that machete to keep the path clear for me.

    I don't want to be a party pooper or belittle @iHappy 's success, dude, but he relapsed later this week on day 45 and deleted his NoFap acc because it got in the way of his problem with an Internet addiction. You can read about it here.
