What a crazy journey this has been so far.. Many up and down days and weeks where i wanted to quit but the fear of starting at day one again terrifed me. But also i would get other fapstronauts who would ask "how do you do it?" and "help me" and it made me say i can't quit there's too many that need to know that there is hope on the other side. Plus i remember being them struggling with the first week of nofap. It's definitely the most difficult thing I've done in my life but you learn SO much about yourself as a man. You learn how powerful decisions are. When you make up your mind and just go all in for nofap you can absolutely go the distance. I had to remind myself 100 times that i can't relapse from urges my brain thinks i want BECAUSE IM IN FUCKIN CONTROL Remember that you have to save yourself from YOU sometimes..That helps! The slow improvements are more noticeable now. And my Anxiety is reducing a bit. Still got more work to do but my motivation has leaped 100% we'll see what happens in 5 months. Let's control our own lives! Fuck urges!
Congrats @frogg05! I too had heavy problems with anxiety. I'm on Day 244 and can safely say that my anxiety is no longer a problem. My brain chemistry was really out of whack and reboot has helped TREMENDOUSLY. Keep doing what you're doing and it gets even better and better!
Oh man!! Really?? I can't wait now!! That's the #1 reason i joined NoFap was because i developed social anxiety from this addiction. Thanks 4 the inspiration!!
It's true, people come on here hoping that there's hope on the other side. 4 months is amazing, I hope you keep going!
Hey man , thanks for sharing that!!! It is so inspirational … I’m at the start again and have had some bad days but I just want to keep fighting. And like you said we need to make that decision that “P is just not a fucking option for us” no more …. Even typing that makes me feel good !!!!! And you are right , we have to save ourselves from ourselves because nobody fucking else if coming to fix this for us… Thanks man and all the best in kicking P’s ass for the next 5 months.
Awesome comment! And yes you definitely got it! I know you will eventually get there and who knows...maybe you will try helping the ones who still struggle with P. Man what a success story that would be!
Thanks for sharing Frog; definitely inspiring us little streaks. Less anxiety seems especially awesome, hows your confidence changed since hitting 4mos?
