    NoFap is definitely a process that takes strong determination and insane willpower. I achieved 90 days last year but ended up relapsing at that 90 day mark. What was it to? Some model on Instagram. I'm currently on NoFap.

    I believe that social media has a direct impact on why many Fapstronauts end up relapsing. Social media is at our finger tips every day and all it does is fill the gaps in our lives when we want to kill time, bored, or in an awkward situation. If you're on a streak and all of a sudden you see an attractive girl on your timeline, you suddenly get an unnecessary urge. It wasn't a natural one. It was from pixels. This leads to edging which is already a dangerous thing for people on NoFap.

    If you didn't have Instagram, or any social media, what would you be doing in your spare time? I bet it's something great. Maybe a hobby you've been putting off, a second or third language, studying for that big test, etc. You may never know. At the end of the day when the sun sets, that's all you have. However, that's all you need. It's up to you to make the most of your time. You ALWAYS have time. It's just whether or not you care enough.

    Many individuals say that social media is a great way to reconnect with people. Here's my take on that: If I haven't seen or heard from you since the beginning of college, you were never an important part of my life and therefore I don't care to hear from you again. End of story.

    Thankfully I never got into Facebook or Instagram. When I found out there was a lot of porn on Snapchat I deleted that right away. It's an important preventative measure IMO. If someone matters to me I'll make a point to communicate with them. No social media definitely gives me more time to read.
