    About me - I am a 19 yo boy from INDIA and i have been trying to get clean from the past 3~4 years and i have failed miserably.I have suffered a lot due to masturbation and i am still suffering the consequences ( i will discuss in detail below ). I found Nofap many years ago and due to repeated cycles of failing and coming back and creating multiple accounts , I left Nofap thinking that i will try the whole thing myself but now i am back again with my new account . I have managed to get 14 days streak but never went past that number.

    My Goal - I will be sharing my past experiences and will give my best shot to complete the 90 days challenge and i will also be posting my daily updates to maintain a record and take daily advice from the nofap family along with loads of motivation to achieve my final BREAKTHROUGH.

    My Sufferings from past and present - I found porn when i was a small kid. I found a video hidden in a games folder in a cd which was given to me by my friend's elder brother.I never knew that this would bring me to such a position where i stand today.I have what all kids of my age desire but i dont have what everyone has.

    I have a natural behaviour of impulsiveness from childhood.I dont have a middle path for any bit of my life.If i am playing game , then i will play it for straight 8 hours otherwise i will delete it.If i am fapping , then i will go beyond 6+ times a day or i will go for nofap.This hyper behaviour is the reason i am fat and out of shape ( 6ft 1inch and i weigh 115 kgs ).The problem with hyper behaviour is that it is so extreme that you can never achieve consistency and ultimately your life becomes unstable just like a see-saw.


    1. I have no friends in my college because i am not social at all.

    2. I have no girl in my life.

    3. I have no desire at all to achieve anything.

    4. I have no willpower to do any task and i generally spend most of my day sleeping, eating and browsing internet.

    5. I have lost my capability of focusing.

    6. I feel disconnected from the outside world.

    7. i suffer from tight foreskin of penis.

    8. I have anal fissures due to obesity.

    9. I have everything in my life which many kids of my age cannot even imagine of - a brilliant new car , branded outfit , loving and caring parents , branded shoes and what not. but when i see everyone laughing and enjoying while i am sitting alone in a corner of class , i feel very bad.

    10. I have a gym membership but i go only 2-3 days a week because i have low energy levels.I hate this fact so much because deep inside i love gym a lot.

    11. I can go on and on with all my sufferings and problems but i won't because the above 10 points provide major information and test after not as important as the above mentioned points.

    My Past Experiences and Observations-

    1. being busy and not ovrthinking is the best method for nofap.

    2. proper mindset is must before starting with nofap.everyone should have the reason clear in their mind (" why "). This comes in handy during hardtimes.

    3. overconfidence and edging kills.

    4. always go to bed only for sleeping.

    5. small rewards are important.

    6. motivation needs to be replaced by discipline at the correct time because willpower will replenish over time.

    7. eating heavy food is bad because the spices lead to increased blood pressure which leads to impulsive behaviour.

    8. EXERCISE , MEDITATION AND COLD BATH are the most important keys to secure your win.

    9. Avoid any kind of negativity because it messes up the dopamine level.

    Final word - I will go for 90 days challenge and i will also try to hit gym everyday and wil be sharing gym pics daily to be in touch with all of you guys and to maintain my record.If i succeed in 90 days challenge , i will post my original before and after photo. I will need each of your guys support to achieve my goal so all suggestions,advice,motivation and help are welcome.Let's do this !!!!!

    Today i went to gym and hit a high intensity workout.I felt great after gym and i did eat healthy meal.Unlike yesterday , i felt no urges today.Overall it was a good day.

    someone please suggest me the best method to upload photos of my workout.
     
  5. Regarding the low energy, exercising actually increases your energy om the long run. Do some kind of exercise everyday, and in a month time you'll be full of energy. Any runner knows this, once you've been running for a long time, if there is a couple days where you don't run or do any other demanding exercise, you can't even sleep, you are too full of energy. You can get to that point even if now you can only run 5 minutes straight. My mother started running at 42, and she was so thrilled for running 5 minutes straight, after a year or so she was running for 1/1,5 hours straight, and it only escalates to more and more energy and resistance.
    In other words, you don't need to have high energy to hit the gym, you need to hit the gym to have high energy.

    its indeed the truth and a very good explanation.I missed gym today because the weather was too foggy to drive to gym and now i am feeling very uncomfortable due to excess energy.I thought it would be better to go through forums before my mind wanders to wrong place .thankyou brother for your advice.

    Today I did'nt go to gym due to very foggy weather in early morning as it was not safe to drive.I am feeling excess energy in my body and i will surely work on advice given by brother which you can see above this post.I will try to work out each and every day.Yesterday i gave it all in the gym so that no energy is left in my body and i felt great after working out like a maniac.I could not post photos because they were too large.It was 500 cal burned in 30 mins preworkout and 300 cal burned in 20 mins post workout.

    Today i went to the gym despite foggy weather.I was the only member today.I did only cardio and first time ever i burned 1000 calories.I did 880 in 1 hour and then treadmill stopped for cooldown.afterwards i did 120 cal in 8 mins.
    altogether it was 1000 carbs in 1 hr 8 mins.

    it is sunday today so i slept after returning to home.I am feeling some urges today but i have managed to supress them.I think that i have to quit instagram to save my streak.

    One thing that i have noticed is that very few people comment in this reboot section and more are interested in success stories forum.anyways , maybe after 30 days my new thread will be in success stories section .Till then , I will try my best to maintain my focus.

    I'm also with you mate, my goal is not the 90 days but the whole life and I'm currently in day 16.
    You got this, I was also pretty fat a while ago but I managed to get down 20 kg in 6 months, the way I did it, I worked my ass off but I didn't hit the gym in the whole summer. I was working in the outside and carrying heavy stuff and it was super hot plus I also didn't eat a lot, I ate unhealthy but not a lot, and a thing that really helped me is the water. Drink a lot of water even if u don't want make sure u drink water during the day that u always have a bottle with you and u drink water.
    Keep doing man u will get there.
    You can also follow my journey here:

    Today i failed after 7 days of streak.I woke up early morning at 2.30 am to go to toilet and accidentaly dropped my phone in tub.I was in a half awoke half asleep state so i could not understand exactly what to do.I did a quick google and i soaked my phone in rice.When i woke up i checked my phone and it was not working.I became very depressed.It was raining very heavily so i did not go to gym and college.My phone is quite costly so i knew it would cost me a good amount to get it repaired.I spent good amount in repairing it.After loosing money twice in a week due to my silly mistakes and ignorance , i failed to hold my emotions and dopamine levels went too low.My body only knew one thing to make me happy , and after edging , i relapsed.

    these were the last words which i ever wanted to write on this thread and i really feel void and depressed.

    But i wont quit like last times and i will start with a fresh streak from tommorow.I will be posting updates week wise because everday is approximately the same for me.

    yes i fucked up but i will get up strong.Its my promise that i will win.

    Looking at how you describe your life you probably conceptualize porn the same way many of us do: as a refuge.
    When you PMO it's a time when it's just you and your lust and you get some good feeling out of an otherwise stressful doubtful life. So you cling to it. Your brain feels like it can't let go because it's scared that you won't be able to deal with life without porn.

    Porn seems to be just one of many problems in your life. Those other problems further you porn addiction, it's all linked. The good news is you can improve it all. Best strategy is to make small attainable goals. Witnessing yourself being on the right path towards those self-imposed goals will activate your reward system and fuel you with positive emotion. That will slowly build your confidence and effectiveness of dealing with your problems. Be patient, be humble with your goals and achieve them properly. The turtle wins the race, believe me.

    I also highly recommend the Future Authoring Program by J.B.Peterson. It's just ten bucks and it effectively lets you analyze your life and make a plan for the future in a structured way.

    No worries. You also inspire us with your journey. I also failed a thousand times because this shit is really hard. But quitting is not in our vocabulary. This would be my Day 2 and I’m having urges again. Hahaha. What did I do? I vidited NoFap instead and interact with other fapstonauts. Urge went down. Try to do the same thing. Vidit NoFap whenever you’re having urges. Don’t be sad. Keep you goal straight and tracker disciplined!! Day by day, stay disciplined to yourself!

    Hey man! Don't worry about it, u haven't failed, not at all, you just learned something new,, now the next time that something like that happens to you, you won't PMO because u will knew what to do.
    Again keep at it, keep ur goals in mind at all times, yesterday I also had my first urge in days, and I went out running and like forest Gump I just run and run for like 2 hours straight then hit the gym and came home destroyed but with a good feeling. That also helped me to not get drunk or get high as I am doing latlety to substitute PMO.
    As said above our problems are with PMO but we refuge in PMO because there are other things in our life's that are not good. We have to fix all of them, step by step, day by day.
    I believe in you mate!
    U are going to come back from this stronger.
