One year update (it is possible to turn your life around)

I don't really know in what end to begin when writing this post but I will try to make it as cut-and-clear as possible without having to write pages of boring and mundane reading:

Last Sunday, an entire year had finally passed on my NoFap-Journey and I must admit that I am very proud of this myself and this accomplishment. As late as 13 months ago, I could never have believed abstaining from PMO for a long period of time was possible, not to mention all the benefits that would be pouring into my life as a result of this.
My life before and after quitting PMO for good are like night and day and cannot even be compared. So, only to mention a few of the issues and life struggles did I have prior to beginning my NoFap-journey in February of last year:


-Social anxiety and anxiety in general
-Addicted to porn, masturbation and lust in general.
-Thinking poorly about almost everyone and everything.
-Poor self-esteem, confidence and negative self-image.
-Poor anger management.
-Difficulties in dealing with negative emotions.
-Having a scarcity, neediness and poverty mindset.
-Lack of energy and motivation.
-Victim mentality.

And the list goes on and on.

In February, last year, I decided to begin a challenge (in order to save a few minutes in the evenings) where I wouldn't masturbate for an entire month. I had only tried once before (two years earlier) and got frightened by the changed and energetic mood it put me into so I relapsed out of discomfort only.
This time though, I decided to commit strongly and after 10-11 days of abstinence, things started to change drastically. I got a surge in energy, everything slowed down and I felt like all the little things in life were enjoyable and great all of a sudden. These were things I used to feel dull and uninteresting before. And then, the benefits continued and I started to reap one benefit after the other. Here are just some of them I have acquired into my life over the past year:

-Increased confidence.
-Loss of water weight.
-Increase in muscle mass.
-Increase in confidence.
-Surge in energy.
-Increase in penis-size (it looks fatter)
-More glowing skin and eyes.
-More nourished and healthier hair.
-Increased women attraction (and from people in general).
-Increased social skills.
-Enjoyment of the little things in life.
-Looking more masculine and balanced.
-Renewed interests and hobbies.
-Revived spiritual life.
-Increased thickness of backbone.

I have also resigned from my current mundane and boring job in order to start a new life closer to my hometown where there are many great people and friends around. The goal is to start a business (in the self-development department) where one of my main customer groups will be men who are currently struggling in their lives. I am sure it is well needed these days when many men grow up with single mothers or weak father figures (like I did), are only exposed to female authorities for their entire lives and never have a good male role model in their proximity.

Lastly, I would like to say, that it is completely possible to turn your life around 180 degrees in relatively short time (like I have done) but it takes a serious commitment and strong belief in yourself and your capabilities.

I had the same issue with the scarcity and poverty mindset. I own a large home in an expensive city. I was ranting about costs six months ago when a friend who is a very successful restaurateur asked me how long I could go on assets at my current lifestyle if I just quit. I figured 3 years. His reply was you already have more fu money than me. I've always seen him as more successful than myself. Changed my perspective.

Hello! Unfortunately I haven't been able to start it up yet since I still have another two months remaining at my current workplace but I would be more than willing to give some simple advice and tips regarding the subject if you want to.

Not at all. It was not until after 9 months I discovered there are more meaningful employments for me in life than my current job and after 11 months, I started to discover the power of your infinite mind (or subconscious mind) so it is always a constant process of rebooting and although I am feeling more fulfilled than ever before, it might still take some time (maybe another year or two) before I am fully rebooted. It is not as quick and fast as a process as many might think but there are many tools and mental though patterns you can use to speed it up a bit.

Thanks for the uplifting words! I am sure it will be as I envision (daily) the picture of myself being successful in my upcoming profession. I will then make plenty of money of which I can donate generously to causes and projects I really support and believe in. I will also have a beautiful home, a lovely and beautiful wife, great children, and surround myself with great people as I continue to help people change their paradigm (habits) in order to improve their lives so they can live them to the fullest. I have a cut and clear purpose with life these days which is something I didn't have only a year ago.

congrats ma man, i have a question and that is do u have experienced a flatline in your reboot ?
Click to expand...

Not much at all actually. The only kind of flatline I experienced was after 5-6 months when I started to slack off my good habits for a little during vacation. During that time, I was occasionally feeling almost as depressed and sad as I did during my old fapping days so you really got to stay on top of your game in order for the NoFap benefits to get the desired effects.
It all depends on your mental and physical health at the day you begin the journey. The effects will of course feel quite bleak if you are overweight, drink, smoke, eat junk-food, don't meditate and rarely exercise so you got to throw out the bad habits one at a time. NoFap will definitely help you in discarding many of your bad habits and after a long time into the journey, you will even be able to discard those habits you found almost impossible to get off from the beginning.
These days, I don't even drink alcohol actually as I discarded that habit completely in January.

Thanks for the replay i really appreciate your help .
 
I think what you are doing is great mate.
I think in this climate of toxic feminism and overly PC culture there has been a neglect in men's health issues.
I hope it all works out.

There has been a huge neglect in men's health issues for the past decades, despite the fact that a vast majority of committed suicides is comprised of men. It hasn't become any better by mainstream media and popular culture (i.e. Hollywood culture) portraying men and family fathers as absolute imbecills, fools and jerks of various kinds. To raise the confidence, self-esteem and great power that rests amongst Western men (making them become their greatest versions) is going to be one of my life's purposes.
Society as a whole is losing tremendously by pushing their productive forces (i.e.men) down and keeping them on the carpet instead of raising them and make them productive members instead. Today's PC-culture is creating nothing but resentment, anger, and hate amongst its critics.

Was it like smaller and in a flatline stage at all, if ever?
Click to expand...

No, it was never limp, smaller, thinner or anything of that matter. As mentioned previously, I didn't have much of flatlines during my NoFap-journey so far. The only exception being for 2-3 weeks in August when I didn't stay on top of my game and slowly started to slip back into old destructive patterns and habits.
Staying on top of your game (diet, exercise, meditation, disconnecting from technology more, practicing self-control, etc) is key to be successful at NoFap. Sitting on the couch all day long, doing the same unproductive things with the only difference being NoFap won't get you very far.
 
Great streak man ! I think one of the best things from this nofap streak is that you developed new interest - helping men with life problems. I think you want to become a life coach who focuses on men. Its really interesting business idea. Mainly because we all have problems and these days guys just become weak once they understand that women can do everything these days without them. Damn, possibilities are great here. I'm thinking even the school of gentlemen and Gentleman club or something. Something where guys can be trained to be a man with a modern woman in these modern days. Or a club where guys can meet and spend time together, sharing knowledge and being amongst men.
