Ayyy right here (I said it before I think). Today I studied Kanji and watched some Japanese shows, and I also visited some Japanese sites and talked to Japanese people. I got a lot of practice today! Good luck!

Verrry nice! My first 10 hiragana...10 more tomorrow. Congrats on the studies and the chat with native speakers!

Same here.

Thanks Sean...I thought of one more strategy as a result...someone in particular I will call. Let's make this a good reboot start day.

mlang284, you are already better than the last time, everyday better than yesterday because you keep fighting! And that's the key skill!

Well done!

Damn bro. I can't let it get that bad for me. The fear of losing everything is why I quit. I have told my cousin and two friends and plan to tell two more of my friends. I don't trust anyone else.

Congratulations there! It took a lot of courage. I think I will have that same courage with time, as you say, with people who really care about me.

It's a good Idea. It was horrible telling them I relapsed. You have more reason to go on if someone knows.

Praying for you :) I hope this goes well

Thank you, Sleeping Beauty. Last night went pretty well, and as a bonus, my lady friend can communicate with me today. I know I can't depend on someone else to do the work for me, but it's great to have that contact, albeit long distance.

Organizing can be a stress-reliever, yes :) Congratulations on your whole week!!! That's a big milestone

Thank you, Sleeping Beauty! Even organizing my email brings the stress down. I hope to get my apartment in better shape. I appreciate the congratulations, too...credit to God and the support here as well as recognizing my weak times a little better, even getting me through one particularly disastrous moment.

You're a good man, you do your fair share of encouragement also... Peace!

Thank you @MrBigA ! Made all the difference in the world to pour it out to a friend this morning, sharing and naming feelings, instead of rationalizing, which I do often. Have a great day of freedom, good work and creativity!

Oh, hell yeah. I'm only just realising these days that just keeping everything trapped in your head only prolongs your issues... Been doing that for years... It's rather cathartic to get it out.

"Two or more of the following?" Heck, for us it just takes one of those… ha ha

Exactly @lfromcr - I had the "L" going in HALT and almost made a bad choice this evening. Two or more...even a higher alert. Sometimes it's all four!!

All four? Yikes.

Yes, getting to day 5! Doing better this morning - thanks for reading and commenting on my status. Best to you, connecting more and more with the community and building a list of great strategies to combat PMO!

A great thing to remember is that nofap isnt just a simple goal,its a tool you can use. If you can give up an unhealthy habit of PMO, you can pretty much do anything lol

Wishing you focus and strength as well, also peace of mind and happy thoughts.

Thank you for your kind comment! I feel encouraged that you are on a good path and I can do the same.

I'm glad you are doing better. Keep up with this site, there are lots of people on here who are supportive!

Man, great you are back!
Those friends are very valuable.

This friend is awesome - so easy to talk to and very encouraging. Great to be at day 1 and counting - thanks for the comment!
