"A message from the girlfriend of a Fapstronaut: YOU ARE ALL WARRIORS

Hiya I don't really know the protocol about posting here, but for a really long time I've been wanting to address the r/NoFap community. I want to thank you.

A few months ago, I met this awesome guy, and he's the most incredible human being. He's fun, he's determined, he's intense, he's open, he's nerdy, he's exciting, he's driven, and he's pretty much the coolest and awesomest person I know, straight-up. He's exactly my type of weird xD Oh, and an added plus? Our entire outlooks on life in general are perfectly aligned. Morally, mentally, spiritually, psychologically. I have never felt so effortlessly right with another person. We've been together only a few months, but it's felt like so much longer. I love him, I respect him, I look up to him in so many ways.

And I'm so intensely proud of the fact that he's a Fapstronaut

I think he was afraid to tell me initially about his NoFap journey, but when he did I was absolutely blown away. I had no idea the depth of the struggle, the difficulty of it, or the significance of it. It didn't even cross my mind until he told me.

I don't know if you guys realize how huge it is that you're doing this, that you're investing so much in yourselves with the singular goal of "I want to make myself a better person". I've read through some of the 90-day milestone posts, and the posts where guys have just broken their streaks but are starting over, getting right back into the challenge. Do you understand how freaking inspiring that is?! Do you understand the absolute depth of your devotion to yourselves?!

It's freaking amazing, is what it is.

I'm constantly awed by the community here, and fiercely proud of the fact that my boyfriend fights among your ranks. You are all warriors, you are all centurions, you are all strong and noble knights off to fight the most terrifying battle known to man: the battle against himself. There is no failure here, just perseverance, and the drive to keep going.

Just this morning, I woke up to a text from S, telling me that he'd had a super strong urge last night, something that hasn't happened for a really long time (he passed 90 days this week). He'd had an urge, and he overcame it. He OVERCAME it. I was amazed. I still am. You are all so unbelievably strong. You have such a strength of will and dedication that leaves me breathless on a consistent basis. You are the fighters, but more importantly, you are the victors.

This was the part of the text I sent him this morning, and it applies to all of you:

"You own this. You're conquering it. I see the effects of it in your eyes and in your attitude and in your conversation, and you wear your triumph humbly because you know the battle isn't over. You've won, you are winning, you will continue to win. You stay alert, always aware that it's just the calm before the storm, aware that soon more tests of strength and valor will come."

S is able to hold eye contact longer than I can. Sometimes we'll be talking, and then his words just trail away and this slow smile spreads across his face, and out of nowhere he says, "I just want to stare into your eyes forever." It sends warm shivers down my spine and makes my tummy do flips and I can't stop smiling. It makes me feel like the most important girl who has ever existed. Every girl should be as lucky as I am, to be with a man who is as strong and sensitive and self-aware as you men are. I attribute a huge part of my boyfriend's self to the support and guidance he's received from this subreddit over the last two years.

Thank you all so much, for existing, for being the heroes that you are and persisting, for fighting a battle the depth of which I can only imagine. Keep going. Every day, don your armor, and slash your way forward through the thickets of thought. Guard yourselves against the quicksand patches of instant gratification. Because I know you can. I've seen it, and I'm awed by it, and the depth of your dedication, the commitment of it, and the ever-evolving result – the man you become because of it – is so damn attractive.

You are all incredible and inspiring and amazing human beings. You are heroes. And I believe in you.

Godspeed, warriors.
