The OP may not be with us since that's a post from 2019 but this is a good question. I don't have much of a story but the concept of re-invention is one that has been tied in to recovery and I think has good forward moving implications. Recovery as a word has this implication that you're going back, like before the addiction. The problem there is for anything where it has been with you a long time you can't exactly go back to being a little kid due to this whole developmental context, you want to be a sober adult person, not a sober child - besides you can't go back to being a kid anyway.
Another aspect of the word is it implies a deliberate conscious act. If we take the word invention seriously you don't just sort of cobble together a bunch of nice positive self development things, it also implies something with originality. It may not even be a matter of re- if you've never invented yourself in the first place. Even if it WAS a combo of things, like a music streaming device that also has the function of recording broadcast content (which goes as far back as the boombox with analog radio and cassette) it's the CONCEPT that's original and inventive. Even if someone mostly played music you have the new function of recording a broadcast or if you have one with a double cassette you can copy, and that's just a super basic example.
Reinventing your self is obviously a lot more subtle and has very deep implications beyond just simple function like both playback and record, but the fact that we can get excited about fairly basic things like that in technology should probably get us excited about what it may mean to reinvent the human being, ourselves. I'm not sure how it connects with NoFap but I'm reading this book titled Stealing Fire by Jamie Wheal, I think it could be good just on the basis that it is approaching this theme of truly doing something different with your mind and your self rather than some version of "more" whether it's more fitness, sex, success or whatever. "More" is the simplistic logic of addiction after all.
