    Hey there guys. I'm 22;years old and after 7 years of pmo I'm giving it up for life. Ive had 2 streaks before this 24 days and 26 days. I reset today and I am giving it my all to make that the last reset of my life.

    Since starting nofap I have been working out daily. I went from being somewhat chubby to having a defined body and abs (not quite a six pack yet but almost!) In just a month and a half. I feel better than I ever have before and have never been in better shape. Ive also gained a lot of confidence (and I was already really confident) and I can go all day working at the drive thru and not even get a little irritated, where as I used to get angry at disrespectful customers and yell at rude people. Now I smile and tell them to have a good day because I genuinely hope that their interaction with me will brighten up their day.

    I started reading books. My psychology professor actually came by my work and dropped off a bag full of books (mainly pretty dense information filled books) and I'm already through some of them. I actually enjoy reading them and love the fact that I'm also learning. I feel like when I used to pmo I would hate reading anything. Along with reading going up, Facebook use has went down. I actually deleted the Facebook app from my phone as well.

    The biggest overall improvement is with women though. I have never had a problem scoring the hottest girl in the room. But now I feel like its the hottest girl in the room trying to score with me. A beautiful girl at the gym that sees me everyday could not keep her eyes off me the other day, so much so that my friends I was working out with commented on it saying they were jealous I was blatantly pulling chicks.

    Hands down NoFap is the best choice you can make. I'm going to take this challenge on for a life time, and nothing, not even myself is going to stop me.

    Since joining nofap, my urges have almost disappeared. If I get an intense urge I just come here and read anout others struggles. This helps me put the urges behind me and move on with my day pmo free. Thanks for the help fellow fapstronauts.

    Keep it up man.

    Atta boy.

    Sounds pretty crazy to me that something as simple as ridding yourself of one activity (porn) is making such positive improvements in other crazy areas of your life (girls, time spent on books, less Facebook)... It's all incredible though, be encouraged. That's awesome.

    I've experienced more confidence even just interacting with girls in passing since holding off from porn for 6 days. It feels more... acceptable, or something, for me to even look at them and smile confidently. I'm a respectful man, and I want them to know that.

    Perhaps it's that surge of testosterone they talk about after getting off porn.

    Just wanted to drop a note of congrats and encouragement-- Keep doing you man!

    Just wanted to update for any of you following my post. Its day 7 on my current streak. I'm going strong and don't really get urges at all. Something that helped a lot was someone else's post about "peeking". He referred to peeking as any actual viewing of P or thinking about P like situations with random girls you see throughout the day, or a friend/ex of yours. So now any time a thought like that comes into my head (which can happen a lot since I work drive thru) I just catch myself and turn it off and focus on my breathing. If I have trouble there's a group of trees I focus on while I'm talking to the customers (it really looks like I'm looking the customers in the eyes) and after intensely focusing on it trying to notice something new about it each time, I've almost completely blocked out any P related or risque thoughts I have at work. I've also found that focusing on flexing my abs all day long at work really helps. Especially the last hour when my abs start to get really tired and I have to focus harder.

    But back to the point, no peeking not even in your head for the ultimate reset results. I always persue women with the bed in mind, but I want to start pursuing them for friendship instead. This will hopefully help a lot.

    Hope you guys are all doing well stay strong!

    So I just though I'd drop in for another update. Today is day 8. I really feel like this times going to be easy since I went both 24 and 26 days right before this, with only 2 little mess ups (at least I didn't binge!). This time just feels much easier. The thought of pmo just kind of disgusts me. Something's that my friends and co workers say disgust me too. To the point that I'd like to tell them they live in some sort of sick reality. I'm glad that I've made this change. I hope others will as well.

    Also ive been doing the 200 pushup challenge for the last 4 days. Its cake with all this testosterone.
