Day 30

I've made it to day 30, no PMO or porn substitutes. I haven't reached this level of success in a long time, and there was a part of me that didn't believe I could make it this time, but I gave it my all, fought smarter rather than harder, and now I'm here. Not too long ago, I was relapsing multiple times a day, 3-5 days a week. I wondered if there was even a point to continuing with NoFap when I kept relapsing with barely any real effort to stop. This proves to me that there is a point, that I can succeed. It really is just a matter of trying again and again. Giving it your all and learning from your mistakes, and then actually changing your behavior to avoid temptations.

I should include, recently, I've had some thoughts that lead in a bad direction and looked at women a little too closely, but stopped short of lust/any kind of arousal. These are too close to actually slipping though, so I'm working to completely eliminate them.

I'll update again, probably at 60 days, and then again at 90.
