    Hi everyone,

    My name is Gio. I'm 24 years old and I just started the NoFap for 90 days challenge today. I have never done a challenge like this before. This is my first time doing a challenge on anything, to be honest.

    How did I stumble upon this challenge? Yesterday, I was on a discord channel and saw some random user post the NoFap for 90 days challenge. At first, I was a skeptic and thought "Wow... like how would this help me, and why would anyone do this??" Then I watched more videos about the NoFapfor90 days/progress. A lot of those guys had some convincing stories about there progress. Most of them feel they gained more energy than the previous month. I was pretty much convinced when some of them said it helps them attract women... yeah (they don't know either).

    For the past year, I've tried so hard to last 7 days without PMO because I thought it would give me more energy for my workouts.. But I relapsed around the 6th day. My workout has gotten a lot worse probably because I edged myself on that day...I also think I plateaued on my workouts ever since...

    When did I start watching porn? I started watching porn when I was 14 years old. And from there I began to PMO 2-3 times daily. I never actually had a real girlfriend, and plus I have a hard time talking to women. I feel worse than I was 10 years ago. I don't feel like i'm going anywhere in life. I've been stuck at home play games and watching porn. I had no luck finding a decent job. I just feel like complete sh!#. Sorry for the language. I feel like a complete bum right now.

    Why am I doing this challenge? What's my motivation? I wanted to try this challenge hoping it can change my life. I just feel like I can do better with my life. I don't know i just feel really depressed. Right now I also feel a little skeptical about this challenge because I don't know if its actually going to change me. I'm also cautious if this might affect my health. I don't really have the motivation at the moment. I was hoping you guys can help me out and let me know what I need to do. I just want that push from someone who knows what I'm going through. I will be more active and explain more about my life in other posts. I don't want to cover everything in this thread... lol.

    If there's an app that's free that can monitor and track my progress please let me know. FYI, I've never been this open to any forum thread or post anywhere..lol

    Hey Gio, my thoughts are with you buddy! I am struggling with my life goals aswell and compensated this with heavy abuse of porn. Since I started the reboot 3 days ago I am certainly no expert but we can share our progress. I started by taking a small time job like 80 hours/month to feel useful to society again and - of course - earn some money. Also exercising is a pretty good time filler and self esteem booster. But my progress in social competence is still very negligible.
    Had troubles with the first urges but the cold shower thing is something I can recommend. It is tougher than it sounds but has its benefits! Like you only manage to do it for 5 minutes, get clean though, increases your immune system and makes you feel more focused afterwards. Well and the urge killer of course :)
    Be strong mate!
    Sincerly
