Current streak - 44 days

Only for people who are above 20+ days of nofap.
After 44 days of semen retention and nofap, I’ve felt an incredible surge of sexual energy building within me. This power is something I’m learning to harness, and I know firsthand how vital the support of a group can be in maintaining a positive streak. My longest streak of 149 days was achieved with the help of various groups, and I believe that together, we can push each other even further.
This group is a space for anyone who feels the need for community support on this journey. Let’s channel our energy, break limits, and grow stronger together.

Morning:
3 hours on YouTube and Netflix triggering myself on my work computer
Spent 15 minutes adding blockers for Netflix and YouTube. We will see how long it takes for me to delete them.
Afternoon:
4h working for my paycheck
Almost enjoyed time with my boss which is a win
Got work done and asked good questions
Remote work makes reforming difficult because it is isolating in nature
Evening:
2h Cleaning my house, groceries, listening to sermons and making myself a comforting dinner.
I friend of mine invited me to go talk to her while she works and I’m feeling confident and like I could like her so I’m going to go at 8.
I plan to be home by 10
Urges: 8/10
Discipline: 6/10
Overall: 6/10
I think that we will be good for each other. Keep posting - your presence alone is encouraging.
Woke up at 8AM
Worked 3h
Watched YouTube for 1h
Worked for 5h at a coffee shop where I also journaled and just sat enjoying the weather
I picked up food for dinner and talked and gamed with an old friend for 3h
Texted a girl and am now going to sleep to an audio book
Woke up earlier than usual at around 5:45 AM, before my Apple Watch alarm (set for 6:20 AM).
Drank a glass of water.
Meditated for 15 minutes.
Went to the bathroom, took care of personal hygiene, and brushed my teeth.
Did 16 minutes of stretching.
Went for a run at around 7:17 AM, achieving my best time today (5’30" per km for 3 km).
Walked 1 km at a much slower pace to recover.
Walked the remaining 2 km back home.
Had breakfast.
Couldn’t take a shower, so I dried off and applied deodorant and cologne.
At 9:45 AM, visited an elderly person (101 years old). It touched me deeply—she’s alone in a nursing home, often feeling lonely and overwhelmed, and she cried a lot.
Returned home for lunch.
Took a nap from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
Woke up and ate some fruit since I was still a bit hungry.
Shaved my beard, then took a shower.
At 5:30 PM, went to the wellness center for eyebrow grooming and a relaxing massage. I had a great conversation with a 19-year-old Indian girl named Shanti. I enjoyed talking to her so much that I booked another massage for tomorrow morning.
Went shopping for dinner.
Had dinner while listening to a podcast.
Now I’m relaxing and plan to go to bed earlier than usual since I’m really tired today.
Today marks the 48th day of semen
retention/nofap/no p*rn.
Aug 23
Good development hours
A bit of YouTube
CrossFit workout
A 1:1 with the CEO - I’m getting a raise
A good nap
Grabbing a drink with a guy from church
Shrimp Scampi for dinner
A call with a girl I like
Overall I’m realizing I turn to PMO out of loneliness and lack of being seen and known by the people around me.
Today was easier because I was busy, rested, and real with the people around me who genuinely care about me.

Will NOT bring any screen into the bedroom tonight
I’m close to relapse.
Urges 10/10
Day 6/10
Your routine is encouraging - how did you cut out so much of your socials? They are my biggest triggers.
I changed phone, changed my emails, put timers on tiktok, Instagram, reddit, eliminated all superfluous applications.
Concentrate more on real life and the present moment, certainly my financial peace of mind and the fact that I meditate every day help me to have mental serenity and not seek cheap dopamine from others sources like socials. I definitely use them, but I limit the usage, I don’t get dragged into a vortex of bad habits and procrastination, or any triggers.
