    Hello there dear Fapstronauts, brothers and Sisters ...

    I don't know how i missclicked but my age is 23 and not 32 as it appears on my profile :)

    I'm from Eastern Europe, Romania to be more honest and precise.

    Considering that I'm not a native English speaker i apologize for any kind of Grammar Mistakes.

    How did i learn about NoFap ? I learned about it after reading an article in a news portal, then i decided to visit and know more about the initiative.

    When i first heard about it it sounded like strange and crazy to be honest ... Don't get me wrong but as you know if you go to someone and tell them to refrain from PMO they will most likely refuse it.

    So i am a reader of this Forum for more than a month and i really like most of the articles especially on the Success stories tab which are very inspiring, but i only decided to Register now and share my personal experience hoping that you will understand me and welcome it.

    How did i started with this poision PMO ?

    Well, it all happen about 8 ( or more ) years ago when i would go with my friends to internet caffe to play Counter-Strike with LAN server. Considering that it takes a bit of time to set up the server one of my friends was watching P before we started the game and i really had no idea about it, and he summoned me to go watch it, i was seeing a guy M to a girl on her face, i thought that this is a ugly scene but then months passed and i started watching P and doing M aswell.

    Now i'm a graduate student of Political Sciences on Bachelor Degree and i'm currently enrolled on Masters studies.

    Before i started this journey my life was becoming hell of difficult to be honest, i was disouraged, lazy and even getting fatter gradually because i was eating a lot and did not have any kind of physical activity to lose it. I was hating myself, i was feeling like my life is going to a waste. I was shy ( like always) i had real many problems to go talk to a girl and even if i did i could not keep that converstaion for long, and the worst thing is that when i would get up on the morning i already feel tired and discouraged to start with the day.

    While i was reading posts of different people on Success Stories tab and many Youtube videos i was really inspired but a bit sceptical as i had doubts on my mind, I was like how the hell could all those good things happen to me if i only refraing from PMO ? i mean it's not that i did not believe you guys but i felt like those stories are exaggerated.

    So yea then i decided to go for it and try it out myself cuz my personal nature is that I am a very courios person, I like to try out new things especially those which will benefit me. The first time i refrained from PMO i kept the streak for 1 week and i could already tell there were many improvments on my life like : better sleep quality, I had more energy, and i started body exercising, and the funny thing is that i saw a lot stories that many other people have also started body exercising after quiting PMO, i am certain that this comes as a result of NoFap. but then after 1 week passed i started to have some kind of pain or disconfort on my P** then i Relapsed.

    Now i'm at the second shot at it and i'm already on my 10 day of refraining from PMO. And i'm dedicated to take this mission until the end of 90 days and even more if i could ! And I am already starting to feel some of the benefits from it, from now I am :

    - Much more energetic
    - I have a boost in confidence
    - I have no problems to start a conversation or keep it.
    - I have no problems to go talk and introduce myself to a new person

    And another thing which i believe is important to mention is that i'm not like most of my friends now which when they look at a girl usually look at her body parts and comment them, Now i look at a girl's eyes with unshyness and we usually have a honest conversation.

    And in case if you have problems with Relapsing time after time, if i could give you an advice it is :

    MAKE COLD SHOWERS !

    Now i know that this idea sounds crazy, i know that it is really painful and once you're in there washing your body and head with cold water your mind and body will be freezing and you will feel terrible, but trust me washing yourself with cold showers helps a lot and it especially lowers your sexual desires in case you feel a urge to go PMO, and i can almost Guarantee you that once you're in there washing yourself with cold water the last thing you'll think about is PMO. After getting out of the shower you will feel a lot more relaxed and as a Champ which has come out after a race, i have tried it myself therefore i am suggesting it to you.

    And last but not least is that i want to thank each and every one of you Fapstronauts, Brothers and Sisters for your active contribution and sharing your success stories they have been really helpfull and inspiring to me they really mean a lot to me, a special thanks goes to the initiators of this Great Website, webmasters, admins, moderators and all those good people that mantain this site, i really can't thank you enough.

    Thank you for sharing your story, welcome to the community!
     
  3. Hey @CycleofLife ,

    I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

    Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

    What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

    First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

    Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

    Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

    That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

    PS: Why not say hello to some members? The fellowship is so important to me, I hope you might find it important as well.
