    Hey guys. I have been entrenched in deep fights against PMO dating from 6th grade to now but I have earned some great victories along the way in the form of streaks that opened my eyes to the absolute euphoria that life is around me. I want you all to know that the experiences from being porn and fap free are incredible and that you should always keep that as motivation. There is a whole other world out there and for success in NoFap, one needs to reflect on the experiences and lifestyle change that filled the vacuum. In this thread I will document all my experiences and maybe you guys could too to inspire our community here to push through it because there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Date: Before everything went to s**t

    Early on in my fight, I used to think about the good old days before I stumbled upon porn and masturbation. I was a carefree child who would kick it with the lads almost everyday in school and out of school. We created our own neighbourhood "biker gang" and ride around the cul de sac. We played loads of sports together too. But then everyone moved away, including me, and that loneliness just added to the misery. I have always kept in mind that if I quit, maybe I'll get these good times back and usher a new golden age of mine.

    I had one streak where I went for a week and to cap off that week, I won gold at a district science fair for my project and got a recommendation from my teacher to go on to the regional science fair. I just completely forgot about jacking for a whole 7 days and when I got to the win at the end, it felt so euphoric. I have been trying for 4 years to even get past my school science fair to the districts but when I did, I clutched it. However there is a lesson to learn here as I jacked off the next day and broke my streak. I thought I was entitled to one after success which is the absolute worst thing to do as it sucker punches your momentum back to yesterday. Never ever do that my friends.

    There was another week-long streak that I had where I was faced with loads of work. In this streak, I think that a grind distracted me from even thinking about masturbation. I had a French project that I went above and beyond the expectations to do and was acknowledged very well when I presented it. I also had a computers project that I had to finish with my partner and when we completed it, we were proud of our efforts when it turned out good. To cap it all off, I had a football game to prepare for and had to go to practice. To cap off the week, we won that game in a very hard fought manner. When I arrived home, the feeling of having completed all my work was a feeling like none other. But the streak came to an end tomorrow in the same fashion I mentioned earlier where I thought I was entitled to one but also the fact that I learned nothing about sustaining a grind as that was the reason I held up my streak for that long by working towards goals. Make sure to find a goal and work towards it guys as a strong enough ambition will help fill the NoFap lifestyle.

    I had a streak that lasted for 3 days and on the final day of that streak, I hosted a youth focus group which was an absolute success. We discussed stuff like city planning and ending gang violence in my town. But again, the entitlement fap for success got me and the streak ended the next day.

    I had a week long streak where I displayed discipline and mental toughness throughout this streak. I executed my model plan for my evening revision which if I do day-to-day, will increase my efficiency a lot. It really helped me study for my physics test a week from then, before we go for spring break. The biggest highlight of this thing was a rugby game against arguably the best school in Canada where we got pummeled in the heavy rain, sharp wind, and unforgiving cold. That really resolved some mental toughness where we gained the experience of horrid conditions. But all the disciplined plan for that week flew totally out of the window the next week and I relapsed. It ended up being a slog getting through the last week to the break.

    This is the first year I discovered No Nut November and I decided to enlist because it would be a good initiative working towards resolving my addiction and the support is usually higher around this month because it has become such a meme. I don't treat it as a meme though and for this upcoming November, I plan to sustain the streak past the month. The benefits were real during this month. I started doing better in school due to the increased focus and I developed better relationships with people. The biggest highlight of this streak was my football performance. My play rapidly improved and my team made it to the finals. However, we lost and I was pretty damn depressed for a while. I broke my streak after the month ended but it took a lot of contemplation to do that because I was deeply entrenched in the NoFap lifestyle. If I had the chance to go back, I would have continued with my streak which would have aided my training to bulk up 35 pounds before the new season starts in order to dominate.
