Recently I have launched an online business and things have been going great! The only thing is, masturbation is really getting into the way of putting my full focus and efforts to expand my business even more so I can finally quit my 9-5. Everytime i PMO, i get brainfog, i feel extremely lazy to get things done, and the list goes on. Im making it my absolute goal to go PMO free this entire month and beyond. Already got through Day 1 (July 1st) so far... I have never been so motivated to acheive this because seeing how my business is taking off has literally gave me light on where i could potentially stand in the future. I’m just hoping by abstaining it will immensly improve productivity as this is something I am seriously going to need if my goal is to quit my job and make passive income for life. Although making money online is my main goal, it definitely gives me no happiness if my social/sex life does not improve as well - as this is something i’ve lacked my whole life. I’m not socially awkward or anything, it’s just i’ve never had a real/lasting relationship with anyone or girl for that matter. I’m currently 20 years old, a virgin, work a 9-5 that i’m sick & tired of going to, and i am on the verge of creating a life i’ve always dreamed of... If everything goes as i envision this month, I will have quit my job to put my full focus on my business. And from that point utilize my freedom to network with more people, and hopefully have that drive to talk to girls again. But this will ONLY happen with nofap. SO IMA GET THIS SHIT DONE ✅ I’m going to report my progress everyday on this thread to hold my self accountable, and to hopefully inspire those who may want to observe my journey. Wish me luck!
very well self esteem analysis. great to see ur doing in business. recently i lost my job. i blaim all it on addicted mindset. i preapered some plan.but it didnot work very well. addicted mind keeps troubling them.
Good job, buddy. I only wish I had realised what you know at your age. A lot of my last 23 years have been wasted since then (now 43) Dont let it get you too.
Damn I'm sorry to hear that man... definitely don't let that discourage you. Everything happens for a reason and all you gotta do is accept events as they happen and do what you need to do to get back on your feet. Staying consistent with NoFap will eventually give you all the mind clarity you need to strike that light bulb in your mind to know what to do next! Hey man, but at least you're in the forums trying to be a better you. It don't matter the age. We got an entire life to change things around! Thank, i really appreciate the motivation bro!
Once the clock ticks midnight, I will have completed Day 2. Not gonna lie, had some slight urges as I just got back from work - but I immediately logged into the forums to safety. Seeing the responses above has definitely just helped me a lot, i feel so much more comfortable now, and motivated to keep going. Going to read a book, work on the business a little then head off to bed. Day 3 here we go!
3 Days completed so far and currently in the middle of Day 4. I will say, i've noticed a dramatic difference in energy levels upon waking up. Usually i would always wake up like complete shit (cause I stay up until 3-4am working on my business). But for some reason this morning I woke up at around 9am with 5 hours of sleep feeling incredible!
Still going strong on Day 7, and things have gotten extremely busy for me so I haven’t been able to post everyday like I said I would. Not gonna lie, i did edge about 2 times around day 4/5 while viewing some porn. I personally don’t count that as a relapse as I still feel the benefits of nofap. I think all the feelings of laziness, lack of focus/mental clarity, and feeling fatigued is a result of actually O’ing. Im now on day 7 and feel really energized, talking to people with no sense of anxiety, however the drive for women still is not there. And thats the part that comes from viewing porn so I definitely need to stop that. I hope i can successfully reach 30 days from this point on without edging/viewing porn. The first 3-4 days is usually the hardest but now that i’ve reached a week, i feel more motivated to keep the streak going and building more self discipline.
Please keep posting! I enjoy reading your little blog. I'm sure there are some who read it too. I wish you luck and more strenght. At the end - you'll be "reborn"(don't wanna sound like a preacher or smth but you get the idea)
i just hope that by making money online you don't mean those pyramid/ phonzi schemes... Those always have a bad ending, and depression can send you into a binge Good luck ~
In my opinion it's different for everybody. I remember feeling the first consequences after around the first two weeks. It was amazing. But I could not withstand the urges and had to restart :/
