Welcome to nofap.
I'm glad to see you join the community
Congratulations on taking the first step to a better life.
You've made the right choice, but there will come times when it won't seem so. Those times will test you and put you through a lot of grief. In those times, have a look at Relapse and Reset Reports section and remind yourself of the grief this habit can bring.
There will also come times when you doubt your cause and second guess yourself. In those times, try exploring the Success Stories Section to see where the nofap challenge can lead people.
Finally, there will come times when you feel like you just don't have it in you. In those times, look at yourself in a mirror and tell yourself you can do it.
Because you can.
It definitely isn't an easy journey, but it sure as hell is a beautiful one.
