    so I’ve made it to 47 days no alcohol and 44 days NoFap. Things are going really great but I can’t get over this instant gratification desire. I have more money in my pocket than I’ve had in a long while more women communicating with me but I seem to bypass all the good building I’ve done and want the now gratification . I keep thinking that I should just say screw it. go out. get drunk probably meet a fluzzy(a lot in this town) have sex then jerk off more when she leaves. The reason I started this whole thing is I wanted to feel a sense of control without having to go out get wasted and hope to get lucky. I know patience is crucial and pays off. Feeling a little distraught any encouragement would help.

    Well this is coming from a guy who has quit both, the drinking along time ago, porn 5 months ago. All I can say is life has enough challenges as it is alcohol and porn Will only make it much much more difficult. 44 and 47 days is a lot to give up. What helps me the most is exercise & activity even when I don’t feel like doing it, the gym or maybe a 45 minute walk, either puts me into a positive mindset. Work on your mindset it’s important to any success that we may have on this journey, Garbage in garbage out don’t give up And if you already have just get right back up on the horse keep going. Good luck

    Well... there are only a very few things that made me feel awesome in a sense of real accomplishment, characterwise, in this world. Quitting my videogame addiction, learning how to have a good time with wamen and also quitting porn.
    It feels awesome to push through this shit and is very rewarding in the long run. People are able to spend their time more productively as well.
    I usually don't have much contact with wamen in my every day life, but after being on nofap for around 35 days, i actually kissed the second girl in my life.
    Only because i did new shit that i otherwise probably wouldn't have done. That is the key difference. Due to dealing with the real issues, i started shifting what i do on daily bases, which led to me doing things i haven't ever done before, which also led to meeting and kissing that girl.

    Everything comes with a price, but i am very willing to push through the dark times to see a much more enjoyable life later.
    And i can already see how much better my life got just by quitting my videogame-addiction, practicing nofap, exercising regularly and only taking cold showers.

    I would recommend you to try it for 3 months. Just to see if you can do it. Resisting the urges of wanting to fuck is one of the hardest things you can accomplish as a man.

    Take the challenge. It is worth it.

    If you suffer from the desire of drinking alcohol, I suggest you impress your subconscious mind (as it is responsible for all your habits) three or four times a day (and whenever you feel the urge to drink) by using the following prayer:
    "My mind is full of peace, poise, balance and equilibrium. The infinite lies stretched in smiling repose within me. I am not afraid of anything in the past, present or the future. The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind leads, guides, and directs me in all ways. I now meet every situation with faith, poise, calmness and confidence. I am now completely free from the habit. My mind is full of inner peace, freedom, and joy. I forgive myself; then I am forgiven. Peace, sobriety and confidence reign supreme in my mind"

    You probably need to repeat this daily (a few times a day) for at least a few weeks and you will slowly feel the urge to drink fade away.
    Best of luck mate!!
