    I don't think anxiety is something you can make disappear on command, but still it's worth trying! I'd say 3 days would be more reasonable hahaha

    It seems impossible to "stop" anxiety. But i also thought it was impossible to "stop" lusting. And after 90 days of no PMO i can say concretely my lustful thoughts have reduced greatly. (I'd be happy with reduced anxiety) Therefore, I wonder, if reducing anxiety can be approached in a similar way?
    The main difference I see between the two is that my NOFAP daycount is based on no PMO, not no lust. If i was going for no lust, i'd be on, probably day 2.
    So, the question is - to continue with the analogy - is there something we can physically give up doing that will reduce the anxiety? Or possibly, maybe the question should be rather than what can we STOP doing, what can we START doing?
    Perhaps it should be a 10 day contemplation/meditation challenge??
    You might be asking, how is this related to NOFAP? For me it's hand-in-hand. I use porn to relieve anxiety and stress, so learning to address those in a healthy way is essential.
