    Well, where to start. Its been almoast 2 years ive been on and off the challenge. Never made it past 12 days of no pmo. I now believe that the problem is that i never truly believed that nofap can heal my libido and ed. I came to blame other things, such as my smoking habit, for my problem. However, im just 24 years old, and dont smoke that much. The real difficulty was the flatline, it was just there most of the times, and it confused me.
    However, ive now come back with a stronger belief in nofap, and will do what it takes to succeed. Im currently on day2, let the journey begin...

    I think you have the wrong motivation, because if this is your mindset, you will test yourself, and you'll end up relapsing again and again...

    NoFap is one of the tools in my spiritual toolkit but I use it a lot. I have a permanent for getter that only wants to tells me how much I miss PMO, never the reality. When I am the NoFap site, and I read all the heartbreaking stories, it reminds me how bad it really is. My other tools include, having a faith, prayer, having a face to face sponsor and AP, going to face to face meetings, having group support including my wife, fellowshipping, doing step work, etc.

    My longest streak is 27 days, and my mindset is that "If I do nofap, then I can save this energy to do something meaningful..."

    Day 4:
    Well, it feels kind of nice to return here after a difficult day, announcing youve made it through. Really, its a big thing to be able to share all these experiences, with people who are going through the same. The most important is to not lose focus from the goal, never to forget how going back to the addiction feels like, but also the withdrawal from it, cz this shits real, and unfortunately over the coming years more unsuspecting people will fall to its trap. Its up to us to spread the message, and the sooneat we get through, the better.

    Day 5:

    Although I still feel angry about my previous relapses and how ive lost time, day 5 was certainly better compared to the earlier days of this streak in terms of mood. I was pretty fine the whole day, not many urges either. However I am starting to get a bit og negative feelings now late at night, which I find kind of weird cz until now I was ok. Lets see how tonight goes cz im plannig of sleeping as late as possible tonight cz of uni work.

    Day 6:

    Day 6...what a day. The plan of sleeping late last night didnt work out so well, although I did sleep in, and basicallt from 12:00-17:00 it was a nightmare, very intense feelings of depression. Fortunately after that I was fine, cz i had a uni exam in the evening, so i needed to be ok psychologically ok, and i was. As of urges, non existent.

    Truth is... Im thinking of how good pmo feels right now, but im gonna keep strong, and start fresh tomorrow! Im just still under the exam stress and think about how pmo would be a gettaway, but of course pmo is not a way to relax, but a way to hell...
