Congratulations man. Awesome achievement!

The point you made about Dopamine kicks is very salient. I figured that if I'm craving I'll play some video games to help me cope with it. This is a safe and effective coping strategy, plus it's fun. I just need be careful it doesn't become a time sink and be disciplined with it. So far so good :)

Great work man!

Hello!

I got to about 430 days of NoFap, this was the first time I tried it and I'm really proud of me that I got this far. I masturbated to no fantasies or porn. I will go on no-porn for life. That shit is dangerous. I will masturbate once a week if I don't have sex.

Benefits:
  • ED cured
  • Better looking skin
  • Women approaching me more
  • Feel better about myself
  • More energy
  • People respect me more
  • And a lot more benefits
Disadvantages:
  • Premature ejaculation became worse for me the longer I went on NoFap (This is my own experience, it could be different for you)
  • Still not 100% cured from Anhedonia (I need to find the root cause for this)
  • A lot of urges during the process
  • Mood swings
  • Flatline and PAWS was pure hell
  • Isolating myself
Advices:
  • Try to not do this alone (I did and it was a mistake)
  • Try to socialize, eat well and drink water
  • Be prepared, it's going to get worse before it gets better
  • 90 days may not be enough
  • Stay away from dopamine kicks, but if the urges gets too much, play some videos games or something
  • Seek advice here on NoFap, I would have not made it this far without the support here
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them :)

Thanks.....good post brother, keep it going!!!
 
Hey mate how are you? Well done on your reboot.

What is PAWS

What are some tips you have to deal with urges. I will give you two examples of how I normally slip.

I see some really hot girl who is hardly wearing anything in real life. I then go to bed and wake up with wood, and kinda edge a bit. I then have just one peak...
I get drunk and a bit high - lose control.

Paws is Post acute withdrawal syndrome. Fatigue, no motivation etc..

In the first 20-30 days, it's hard and you will ask yourself if is it worth it. I did a lot of things when I had the urge, like playing video games, going out for a walk, taking a cold shower etc. Find something that works for you. Good luck on your journey :emoji_pray:

amazing milestone, well done... but please, keep yourself completely away from this shit. It's just SHIT, even if you feel urged, even if you don't have sex, JUST STAY AWAY.

congrats! :)
