Jumpstart January 2022: Commitment Thread (Happy New Year!)

Discussion in 'Events & Challenges' started by Happy Gnome, Jan 1, 2022.

  1. Happy New Year everyone!!! Let's use this new year to do our best and reach towards the kind of life we want for ourselves.

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month. Although it is strongly recommended to make a public commitment, posting in this thread is not required for participation in a reboot.

    New to reboot? Here are some suggestions:
    1. Learn about porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO (a process called "reboot" or "rebooting"). Our free Getting Started guide that is advertised everywhere is a great option.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a PMO-tracking day counter to monitor your progress.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress periodically, preferably on a daily basis. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Help others, too, if you are able to.
    7. Get an accountability partner.
    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode". For a full list of parameters, see our Rebooting 101 page.
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. You can't know how long it will take to "rewire" your brain, it widely varies due to individual circumstances. Some people require a year or longer to regain sexual function.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?
    Coming in after this month has already started?

    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Users sign up for NoFap's rebooting events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    • I will not allow myself to masturbate or view porn.
    • I want this challenge to last for 1 month.
    • My goals are to attend NSLI-Y in 2022, participate youth symphony level at SO by age 17, attend the Naval Academy or Airforce Academy by age 19, Become a Military Dentist by age 27, and be president of the United States, governor of a state, a mayor of a large city, or a congress member by the time I turn 36, have a family of my own by age 50, and maintain a good relationship with my parents throughout my life.
    • I am doing this to increase confidence and decrease social anxiety, to reverse any damage PMO has done to my mind, prevent any future damage, and to increase self-respect.

    Joining late but joining nonetheless! Last year was a limbo period for me and this year I'm making positive changes. Getting routine in my life and starting and strengthening good habits. PMO is being left behind in 2021!! Time to become the best versions of our selves :)
