    First of all, I just want to thank this forum for providing me an outlet to post my thoughts and express my ideas on my journey. I even managed to successfully host my own NoFap PMO group called "Alpha Male," on KiK and it has 50 active members battling together for this addiction. (add me on Kik D.5611 if you are interested). Without this site, I don't know if I'd have made it this far, so once again thank you.

    As of today I'm on day 122 since November 30 2016, and man its been one HELL of a ride. To all of you guys in the struggle of breaking past X amount of days, or are doubting the entire process, let me tell you, it is SO WORTH IT.

    The Amount of positivity and confidence I got from proving to myself that I can break and continue to break mankind's HARDEST addiction, is nothing short of ASTOUNDING. I feel so optimistic about my future, and that I've laid the proper groundwork and foundation to pursue my dreams. It is in my opinion, the greatest investment/self improvement lifestyle change you can do for yourself.

    Here are my reported Benefits SO FAR! (Mind you, I'm still not done rebooting fully, so more benefits are to be expected).
    1. Energy Levels have SKYROCKETED. I literally can't sit still sometimes, and can go with 3 hours of sleep like its nothing. People were starting to take notice at my work, asking me what coffee I was on, lmao. I'm high on life brah.

    2. I'm SIGNIFICANTLY more calm around social situations and social anxiety has gone WAY down. I can smile more easily, and look people in the eye much more easily.

    3. My Skin is glowing and my food allergies are gone. I used to get bloating and indigestion if I ate certain foods. Now, I can eat whatever like its nothing.

    4. Mental Fortitude - This is perhaps my favorite one/ most significant to me. My mind has grown incredibly strong compared to when I started. I'm easily able to bock our negative thoughts, bring myself back into the present and not get swayed by things like i used to. I no longer run from life's realities or any negative emotions I may experience. I'm able to stay positive, focus on whatever it is I'm striving for, set the goal and make action to achieve it. This is SO KEY for my future, as this unstoppable mindset will drive me to accomplishing all the things I want in life.

    Last POINTS I want to say for you boys out there in the struggle
    --It wasn't easy. In fact, it was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life x100. BUT then again, when is anything worth achieving in life easy?
    --I felt WORSE before I felt BETTER. Don't expect just to experience positives right from the get go. During withdrawals, I felt really off, and had to fight with myself and my emotions to keep going. It was a big roller coaster ride.
    --The BENEFITS come gradually Over time. I like the analogy of planting a seed. It takes time and constant nurturing until it begins to grow and eventually blossom.
    --IT IS FUCKING WORTH IT! I kicked and screamed the entire way, being so close to quitting several times, but I made the decision to keep going. And here I am now, feeling like a champion, on my way to success.

    Feel free to add me on Kik D.5611 if you wanna talk and ask questions to me personally or join my group!. I'd be happy to help.

    CHEERS

    Congratulations on the long streak, that's a hell of an accomplishment. Stay with it, don't go back.
     
  4. Hey Mateo I remember you from some previous time, I really enjoyed your sincere posts. I'm more than happy that you achieved so much and shared this with us. I'm even grateful as today I had the hardest day with nearly losing my mind of who I really am and experiencing reality as something unreal. I nearly surrendered because I realised how powerless I am and how the enemy is strong. With your post I feel like you handed me a helping hand. Will take under consideration joining your kik group as I will probably need some accountability stuff to help myself.

    Good luck to you brother !

    Hey Brotha, I do have a log, but its written out in my journal by hand. If you add me on KIK or something I could share some of my timeline experiences.

    As for the whole food allergy thing. I was a severe addict for 10 years, doing it almost every day. Over time I started developing minor health issues, which led me to have sensitivities to food. It was like my body wasn't strong enough to process and filter out food anymore. I'd get bloated if I ate even 1 chocolate bar or something, and feel like shit. My adrenals were probably shot too, from all the overstimulation, which plays a key part in energy and metabolism.

    ALL of those issues are SIGNIFICANTLY fixed. I'd say by day 180, I'll be real close to 100% health.

    If anyone has fatigue issues, or adrenal/metabolism issues, there is a big chance your porn addiction has a big part of contributing to it. Once I removed it, My energy levels came back gradually. No need for coffee, just do NoFap brah.

    Cheers

    Mateo

    Appreciate it brotha, and trust me I'm never going back. I have developed an unshakeable foundation, an unstoppable momentum. This might be my last post for a while, as I've weathered enough rewiring and can start focusing my energies on achieving my goals in real life.

    Cheers

    Appreciate it brotha. As I mentioned before, I'm not as active on here anymore, as this addiction is becoming less and less relevant to me. My focus now is conquering my life and fulfilling my potential brah!

    Cheers
