Day 6. Damn i feel good. Room is spanking clean, still slightly afraid of the horrors hiding under the bathtub. I am confident that in next few days i might get brave enough to tackle even that.

Day one, and I also spend much of the day cleaning. Most of my apartment is now damn near immaculate. It feels like an entirely new environment finally the horrors in the bathroom have been purged – and I intend to leverage that in my nofap efforts. I encourage you to continue your cleaning efforts. It's a good antidote.

Day 156.
Most of the effects of no fap are gone. I'll just keep going for as long as I can.
Stay away from NSFW boards, m8s.

Feeling good. It was a bit harder to leave /s/ board but I made it.
NSFW boards will eventually lead to you fapping. You should avoid going there.

I no longer have any urge to masturbate. I think doing exercise has replaced masturbation as of now, even doing the lightest form of cardio functions works as a substitute for jerking off and getting a quick dopamine shot. Aiming for 50 days

There is no reason to restrict yourself to 50 days.
If you are going to fap, fap without porn, just you and your hand .

for the first two days, just leave your house. put a physical barrier between you and the internet.
go visit your parents, or go work a night-shift and sleep immediately upon returning. something like that. don't enter a room if it has a computer in it.
occupy yourself with tv if you got one.
a big tip that worked out for me: get some sleeping pills to force an early bedtime.
a decent sleep cycle is the BACKBONE of nofap. establish those first two days, "artificially", and then grow into it with the confidence you've earned from that. getting one day under your belt propels you forward the next day.

Day 45 motivated as never before. This is actually my best streak - not as far as no fap is concerned.
It's my best streak in no fap + avoiding temptations online, getting enough sleep, etc.
>>12035

Can confirm. If you 'aim for X days' - your personal best - you might surrender to temptations once the goal is achieved.
Speaking from personal experience.
Aim for infinity. 50 days mark is only a checkpoint along the way

Day 3
I'm feeling my energy come more and more back to me. I'll admit I'm having lucid moments when I sleep to want to fap or wake up, look at some random porn site and squeeze one out but my mental fortitude is strong and holding out. Also I decided to play some more environmental to free roaming games as it's helping me occupy myself. Next will be getting back to my creative writing and sketches alot more and yes exercising as well when the weather isn't shit.

Getting yourself down about it will not help. Think about how far you've come. A week is a pretty good if you've been addicted all your life. You were never going to flick the abstain switch on once and be done with it. you're dealing with an addiction.

I want the source for this pic. Anyone have reputable articles on the hormonal balances after fapping/orgasm?
I refrain from fapping because if I don't, my routine sort of looks like that pic, where that pit of dopamine and oxytocin is filled with panic disorder fueled episodes and depression, then me getting better. The thing is that this happens even when I orgasm from a nocturnal emission, so my shit is fucked any way I look at it.
Someone actually please help me every second of my day is consumed by a feeling of terror and disassociation, like I'm wasted all the time, but I can't physically pass out.
But hey, at least I just finished day 18.

Day 77.
I feel like I've lived all my life in a very zombie-like state and that my life is starting now.
I'm very grateful to have discovered the mysteries of the reward system in the brain at such a young age, and at the same time I feel very ashamed and stupid for having wasted 22 years of my life.
Good luck to you all, follow what your Higher Self really wants. You will never know how this truly feels until you try it.
You also need to cut all sources of dopamine, it's very important, the reboot process requires total deprivation of dopamine sources, to give the brain the time and efficiency it needs to fully rewire.
I'm considering buying a supplement for aiding with the healing of my brain, "jarrow formula's Neuro optimizer", I've read really good reviews, but what I find really interesting is that it has Citicoline;
"(CDP-Choline) is an essential intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of the gray matter of brain tissue (30%).* Citicoline promotes brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of acetylcholine and restoring phospholipid content in the brain."
As you guys know we have fucked up a lot the gray matter in our brains.
If someone has a better supplement I would love to hear about it :)

Day 65.
Overall focusing is now something easy to achieve and mental fogs are gone. But I started thinking about something a couple of days ago… why do people have such a hard time breaking the week/two weeks mark? Is it lack of willpower? Is it because they started relatively at a late age and their brain is fucked up? I'm just 18

Adding to this, i think i can go for the long hall this time by cutting off all access to portable devices and only using library computers for updates.
My idea is that I'm a very self conscious person and i won't attempt to do anything if i even so much as think someone might be watching.
If i restrict myself to updating only in sfw public areas i can prevent myself from seeing content which might arouse me past my limit.
I don't know how much this will help, I've basically locked my laptop's battery and charger away somewhere and i've set a goal for myself that i can only start using it after 2 months of nofap.

I have a conundrum:
I'm at 8 days nofap, 2 days noporn (excluding my art models). It might not seem like much, but that's my longest streak in over 4 months. Isn't that sad?
What finally did it was a morning routine of: 1. Meditating for 10 minutes. 2. Prayer (like >>11995 said) even though I don't really believe, and: 3. Working out for about 20 minutes or so.
The problem is, my wrist is fucking up again. I injured it last year, and it never went back to normal. My job involves lifting tons of heavy shit, so I need to have it at 100% for work. How can I keep up my routine if I can't even do a simple pushup?

Very good my man, keep it up.
Gf's are a product of your own personality and social setting though, no girl is going to start running towards your house just because you reached the 100 day mark. Nofap is an important aspect of self improvement that should make you more able to get social or have a stronger character, but will not summon gf's on it's own.
Good luck anon, remember to commit yourself fully for long lasting and fundamental self improvement.
