Hey Fapstronauts!
It's happening! Hardmode is definitely worth doing, and it's definitely possible. Don't give up! Keep going!
Quick summary:
+ All the strategies we need are in the NoFap success stories.
+ Some of the benefits I've had: attention from women, improved relationships, more energy, doing more stuff.
+ Those benefits come from me forcing myself to get out of my comfort zone.
+ I don't do NoFap and then get benefits for free, without work. I work on the benefits, and face my fears, then NoFap happens more easily. For example: today I asked an attractive girl for her phone number (something I would never have done before). She gave it to me, and now I have almost no urge to PM today. In other words, NoFap won't give me magical benefits. I need to put the work in. Then NoFap isn't as big of a struggle anymore.
+ I also need to change the meaning of my urges. It's not an urge to fap anymore, it's an urge to find a girlfriend. Or it's an urge to workout. I can remap what the urge means in my brain, and it's so far been a good thing to do.
Stay strong, and keep going!! We've got this. I don't know if I will make it to 60 days, but I hope to see you there.
