    I'm 22 years old, I'm final year of college and I'm thinking about doing major changes in my life, one of them being, of course, giving up PMO.

    I'm currently on my 41st day of no PMO and I hope I will stay like that for 90 days, and maybe if I am stronger, for an entire year and if I'm a beast, for my entire life :D I want to mention that since I discovered NoFap I didn't masturbate since.

    Since 2017 started, I didn't watch any porn, I began each day with a cold shower and my main purpose of this year is to make a girlfriend. The problem is that I have moments when I'm very happy and moments when I'm very sad and it's kinda hard for me to find balance. Also, I have only one friend, that I know from middle school, and I would love to make new friends to have a strong bond with them, but for me it's very hard...

    I am very happy to be here with you guys. I want to learn from you and I hope you can learn something from me too. ;)

    That is a great streak! That's about as good as my best streak, but I am getting there. My advice is to make some new friends.. but that doesn't mean you have to stop hanging out with your old friend. Start meeting new people! It is very fun

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and not judge you.

    What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    I didn't say I don't want to hang with my old friend. Believe me.. I love that son of a b...h, he was by my side since I was 10.

    You made me curious, what was your best streak? And what made you relapse?

    I can give you some advice since we are here to help each other. Just think that once you started no PMO, you have to do it as much as you can. Think that if you have a streak, for example 30 days, and you relapse you will automatically reset to 0. Consider those 30 days as a percentage, let's say 33,3% if you want to do the 90 days challenge. Think how awful it will be to go from 33% to 0%, this is what scares the most when I have weak moments and I'm about to relapse.

    And after you do the 90 day challenge, you than should go for 180 days and it's great for you once you realize 50% of your road is done.

    Hope you will fulfill your dreams, man!

    Thanks for your support! One of the strategies is the one that I told to Proceed above.

    Other strategy is to keep myself busy. I just started to play guitar 2 months ago by following some online tutorials and downloading a very helpful app and also I'm learning some skills for my job. When the spring comes, I'm planning to go out running and after I finish college I will try harder to get new friends and something that is very important for me and I want so badly, a girlfriend.

    Also, I do cold showers every morning and those seem to be very helpful because they make me want to step out of my comfort zone.

    That is good.. I hope you make some new friends as well, since you said you would love to make some. It couldn't hurt. Unless your good friend is hurt by those types of things. Haha
    Anyway, my best streak was around 45 days or so of no PMO. My main problem was just giving in to temptation and impulse. I had gotten so used to the sensation that it felt about as satisfying as eating food. I'm sure you understand, as you are also a fapstronaut. But when I was once lost I am now found. I hope to get a really good streak this time. I will take your advice, thank you.
