Background: So I've joined NoFap about 10 days ago. Signed up for the 30 day challenge and 90 day challenge. I'm planning to quit PMO as a permanent basis, maintaining my vow of celibacy until marriage. Process of Recovery: During my experiment of no PMO, I also decided to quit playing games. In replacement of these two habits/addictions I've started playing more guitar, sleeping before 23:00, waking at 05:00 on weekdays, updating a daily journal and taking regular cold showers. Result after 10 days no PMO and no gaming + habit changes: Increased mental alertness. Faster muscle recovery rate from working out. No groggy mornings. Better productivity at the workplace. A spark for a more intentional life. How come I never relapsed? I honestly couldn't find a reason to M or to watch P. Sure I've had some flirtatious chats with my girlfriend and two nights I had to fall asleep with my hands under my back, but in the end I didn't act out and I feel awesome.
