Starting from 2020 when I first started nofap until about the start of 2023 were the years I was learning about nofap and the benefits, while also being in the mindset of counting days and hoping for results, in 2022 there were some changes but some adjustments were still required I signed up for gym in mid 2022, but back then I was a beta who knew nothing about exercise or working out, and I was still in the same mindset of counting days. My real change begun in 2023 when I started going to gym more and working on myself more my prime objectives were to transmute my sexual energy, maintain good habits and also had a strong mindset which got me past 3 months for the first time I almost reached 6 months which ended at 178 days but that is my best effort in my whole journey I learned alot about myself and confronted alot of hurdles caused by pmo and started to work on other aspects and I felt much more mature and wanted to plan my future even after falling off things were getting better and by the end of 2023 going to the gym become second nature to me, during this time I also got covid, so I was absent from the gym for a while, but when the year came to a close, I made a new year resolution to train hard at the gym and work even more on myself. 2023 was like the year of Self discovery and a new chapter in my life which set me up for 2024 which was the year of further self discovery, self improvement and increased confidence. 2024 has been my best year in my life of existence, I continued training hard and still do, the gym has become a huge foundation which has transformed me, I can list them here, it improved my muscle physique, I used to have a dad body, now I have a chest which is good to look at in the mirror, it reminds me that I've been putting in this work to improve my physical appearance, my physical appearance today has increased my confidence and self esteem and has also increased my chances of having more social interactions, I also also noticed a few females checking me out which never used to happen, ive become somewhat attractive to the female eye, there are also other benefits, such as improved mental health and the constant willingness to change, sometimes its the only thing keeping me going when nothing else does. There are other things I done this year such as moving out of my comfort zone and having more social interactions, I made it past 3 months again and reached 110 days, I completed my study and even confronted an issue from the past which I'm now at peace with I am no longer in the past, I now live in the present and my main focus being self improvement, nothing else matters. My life is improving, but the only thing that has holds me back is pmo, I almost quit the gym because of pmo, ive relapsed alot in the past 2 months and almost gave up but I but I brought my soul back to life and my desire to change is the strongest ive ever been, I'm not giving up, ive still got time, it's never too late to change until you die, I will keep getting back up everytime I fall and finally quit pmo, ive done it before I will do it again and I will stay consistent and proactive until I die.
 
Certainly second the positive impact gym and exercise have on your life! I travel around for work a lot and have struggled in the past to maintain a consistent gym habit. But last year I decided to invest some money, sign up to nice gyms to encourage myself to sticking to the habit.

And although I have been traveling a lot this year - have consistently kept to my gym habits at home and at hotels when I travel. And it has helped me get to No PMO streaks of 3 - 4 months. recently relapsed after 100 day streak and am now going at it again and am just crossed 1 month now, gonna keep going strong!

Keep going brother!

This is inspirational Jared! What a statement of intent man! The desire to be the best version of yourself is vital to overcome masturbating to porn. There are some practical things which you may or may not have considered in your conquest against PMO. For example...

People sometimes come undone because of peeking or from using porn substitutes or p/subs. The danger of peeking is obvious but p/subs, less so. They could be non-nude pictures of women in bikinis or other revealing clothing. It does not take much effort to imagine the look of that person naked. Yet, it is not porn. Looking at it does not break your streak. But it is detrimental and dangerous when you want to avoid temptation to beat your meat.

What is the very first step in the sequence that results in PMO. Is it some image you see? Is it sexual daydreaming or fantasising? Is it having an erection? Is it the simply the day you feel really horny, which comes round from time to time? Is it negative circumstances or emotions that convince you that blowing a load (probably a few times) will make you feel better? It is useful to know what triggers have tripped you up in the past. In all cases, it is crucial to act immediately and decisively.

You have had excellent success. So use the lessons learnt proactively as you face those difficult times when your sex drive is high and the temptation to masturbate with or without porn is strong. You are the expert in your own recovery. So, reflect on the successful occasions when you defeated a big urge. Maybe you had even decided to masturbate, but you were able to stop yourself. It would be good to write about these things here. That is a reminder to you and it would be a real life example of self-control.
