I'm a 20 year old recovering fapper, fapping ever since about 3rd grade. Porn - 5th grade. Holy shit that sounds fucked up lol. Discovered nofap about 2 months ago, this is my second attempt. I'm not exactly sure, but i know for a fact that I'm about a month and a couple of days no PMO. CHANGES -Nofap has helped me get the willpower to stop smoking cigarettes, weed, and stop drinking alcohol. (smoked cigarettes/weed heavily, and once i started drinking I couldnt stop) Its crazy, i can even push myself harder now when i work out. Ever since NoFap i went from someone who couldnt even run half a block without dying, to someone who runs a mile about every other day. Today was the first time i actually ran the whole mile without stopping. Thats a really fucking big milestone for me. -I've got way too much fucking energy, I mean before i was already energetic but now its like what the fuck is going on. I'm way more fucking goofy now, I fucking sing, dance in public places and i dont even care who sees. -What i stated above might be STRAIGHT CONFIDENCE, either that or it might just be me NOT GIVING A FUCK about what people think about me anymore. BIG CHANGE FOR AN ANXIOUS DRUG ADDICT WHO USED TO POP PILLS/MOLLY, COCAINE AND SHIT LIKE THAT. -I've got fucking morals, my mind is clear. Things that i USED to find interesting aren't that interesting to me anymore. I think my mind is maturing, and i REALLY can see right from wrong. Instead of me thinking "i might get in trouble, but i kind of want to do it still" -I think nofap is helping me realize WHO I REALLY AM. Before i started NoFap i was just shy, never really wanted to socialize unless i was drunk or high. I felt like i couldn't. BUT NOW, i love socializing i cant help but wait to know who the next person i meet will be. Seriously I just wanna meet new fucking people all the fucking time. -I never realized this before either but theres about like 3 HOT WOMAN who live on my street and im always outside working on the car and like singing and dancing and shit. Lately, they've been throwing smiles my way and saying HI to me. When i first moved in im pretty sure they didnt even notice me. -I find alot of things interesting, like the little things. You know doing projects, challenging myself and shit. I like being put out of my comfort zone, trying new things ya know? Guess thats just the extra energy, but i feel like i can see the importance of everything I do now -FUCKING MOTIVATION, motivation, motivation. I've got this unreal drive for doing shit to improve myself now for the better. Like i just wanna be the best fucking man i can ever be. Not because i want people to notice me, BUT JUST BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN. TO ALL THE NEW NOFAPPERS, DONT FUCKING FAIL. ACCEPT HOW HARD THIS FUCKING CHALLENGE IS AND FIND WAYS TO HELP YOU. IF YOU GOT URGES TAKE A COLD SHOWER, OR MAKE YOUR BRAIN THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU RELAPSED. "IF YOU FAP NOW, WHAT ABOUT THAT WEEK OF NoFap? WHAT IF THAT HOT GIRL KNEW YOU HAD A FAPPING PROBLEM?" I USUALLY TOLD MYSELF "IF YOU FAP NOW, YOU'LL NEVER EVER EVER HAVE A CHANCE WITH [insert crush's name here] JUST BE A FUCKING MAN AND LEAVE YOUR DICK ALONE SERIOUSLYYYY!!
Wow! Thank you for writing this. I just woke up and had a huge urge to fap, but reading this helped alot. Congrats on reaching a month!
Awesome! I loved reading this, motivated me more How long have you stayed away from fapping? Or is it just abstaining from porn? Either way, good results man!
I stayed away from porn and fapping for a month and a couple of days. I forgot when i started my second attempt. I forgot to mention that i see woman as people now, like i dont have any thoughts like "yeah i'd fuck her if she'd let me" Now the voice in my head says "Oh she's pretty, I wonder if she's a bitch or a woman" NO MORE PORN THOUGHTS, but i still do think of having sex all the time. I only think about real life woman now. Life is just so much better now, Its not even hard to fight the urges at all anymore either. It might be because its helped me stop all my other bad habits that i couldnt stop before. FAPPERS UNITE!
I forgot about ANXIETY, that shits not even an issue at all. Like anxiety for anything, im able to handle shit more. I feel emotions wayyyyyyyy more too.
Dude, you rock. I try to look for positive motivation every day and this did it. I'm totally empowered now.
You my friend are my new inspiration. Keep going man. All these benefits you mentioned just help us newbies to keep going you know, We think to ourselves "NoFap=all this..i really want this!!!"
Here speaks a Man who knows what the fuck he is talking about. But never so much so as with this one sentence. Let me shake your fap-free hand!
"I'm way more fucking goofy now, I fucking sing, dance in public places and i dont even care who sees." - Haha i am the same way but i get even more happy if somebody sees me xD Keep up with the "i don't give a fuck mode" good job
Seriously good on you for catching onto your addiction so early man. This is the kinda story I wanna shout out in the near future
