THE 100 DAY SPARTAN CHALLENGE (OPEN)

Check in - 13 days remaining

Hello Spartans,

Last year at this time I was on an alcohol, pot and porn fuelled bender.

But this year I’m a different man.

I’m happier. I’m enjoying my family more. I have one or two alcoholic drinks and I feel like it’s enough. I feel like a new person. I spend most of my time thinking about my blessings and what I’m grateful for instead of complaining.

This community has changed me and my life, my future. I can’t thank you all enough!

Merry Christmas!!

I appreciate your sharing nofap as a "journey to enlightenment." This has proven to be true for me, and I am looking forward to reading about your own journey.

Whatever struggles and temptations you may encounter on your journey, I hope that they never compare to the joy, energy, and strength that you will surely feel from choosing to live life anew

 

@Kratos_GOW my best advice is to move to Florida LOL

I'm not sure that I would have the will, desire, or discipline to do it if I lived where it's cold. But I highly recommend that you at least try it, especially after a workout. Feels downright heavenly.

Yesterday I was at the beach along the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is nearly 63 degrees F. Several times I walked right into the Gulf and immersed myself, in and beneath the water, for several minutes at a time.

There were a ton of people at the beach but VERY few people in the water (interestingly it was mostly little kids in the water, and they all seemed to be loving it!). The cold water felt fantastic, and I never felt miserable or shivering after I re-emerged from the water. I kept my shirt off and used my towel to merely wipe off the excess water from my body. The looks I got from the fellow beachgoers were priceless!

Even though it's rarely cold here in Florida, I always set the water on the coolest temperature, and once I'm under the water, I never adjust the temperature. If it feels too uncomfortable I'll simply move my head and body away from the water stream for a few seconds. I get in, wash my body, and get out. I'm done in less than 5 minutes, tops.

I have discovered that cold showers rejuventate the mind and body, and they are widely believed to help with sleep and urges. Bonus: cold showers don't last long, so you'll have more time during the day; and, they are far more efficient, so you'll save a few extra bucks from a reduced water bill.

 

Thank you for sharing! It doesn't matter to me that your streak isn't long. Every morning, when I check in, I remind myself that I'm "starting over,'" one day at a time, regardless of what my day counter reads.

We're all moving forward in this together, one day at a time. Your post inspires me, and I wish you continued strength and peace as you persist in your journey.

 

Congratulations! I admire your willingness to test your resolve. I can definitely attest to this. I am living life with passion, which means I am also feeling a marked increase in determination and resolve, a willingness to step outside of my comfort zone and pursue the goals and dreams to which I never would have aspired just several months ago.

Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
