To: My Friends
From: Prayer_Warrior

Hello my friends, I am doing well today. I hope that everyone is doing well tonight. I have had the urgency to fall today, but I haven’t fallen yet. I pray and pray and the devil is getting madder and madder. I have been in prayer most of the day. I know what I have to do now, I must wake up every morning and surrender my life to Jesus. I must let Jesus control my day and not let my day control me. I really don’t want to be a failure I just want this to end.

My friends, I have hope and I pray that I remain where I am. I will not, (by the grace of God) give up. I know that you are probably thinking that with this much stress he will give in. No my friends, I have accepted what happened before and I will not dwell on it. My past is past, and I must learn from my mistakes. Don’t worry about me, because I have a tool that will help me overcome this. I will try best to make it to 365 and more. I know I might sound overconfident in this but I am not.

My friends, if you want to see my set of rules go to this post IronWill: Still I Rise [38 M] - #2 by Prayer_Warrior

My friends, have the courage to move forward, because God told Joshua in Joshua 1:9 (KJV) Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Believe my friends that all us must have courage to move forward. Now my friends, God is are refuge as it says in Psalm 46:1 (KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. God bless y’all.

Now my friends, I have 3 questions so far now it is time for number 4 Where will I Be In 50 Plus Years

Question 4: Where will I be in 50 plus years?

Where will I be in 50 plus years? I will still be doing the same thing every day. I don’t want to but it will happen. As for this question I will answer truthfully in 50 plus years I see myself free from this addiction and harmful effects of masturbation. I want to be free and not hurt anyone again. In 50 plus years I want to feel better, I want to be rid of this addiction. God help me. Be it as it may in this time of contemplating I have the urge to relapse. I want to be stronger in my life of hope.

In 50 plus years I see myself as a free man. The chains will be gone forever. Exactly 10 minutes of pleasure will change your attitude and you will be back at 0. Considering for the moment that I did have 10 minutes of pleasure and I will be depressed again. I hope that I don’t give in. I see myself in the mirror everyday and see my complexion getting better after 11 days of no relapse.

In conclusion of this question I say that I must not give in to my urges and remain strong. In 50 plus years I want to be more productive each and every day of my life.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Hello my friends, I am doing well today. I am not a quiter, I will not give up. My friends, I hope that I don’t give up either. Well so far today I have had a wonderful day. My thoughts on being a prayer warrior has changed my life completely. I now surrendered my will to God and I know that my hope is in Him. Now my friends, I believe in prayer, because I know where my hope lies. Also my friends I want to share something with you that has helped me and I pray that it helps you too.

The Warrior’s Prayer

Heavenly Father,
Your warrior prepares for battle. Today I claim victory over Satan by putting on the whole armor of God! I put on the Girdle of Truth! May I stand firm in the truth of Your Word so I will not be a victim of Satan’s lies. I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness! May it guard my heart from evil so I will remain pure and holy; protected under the blood of Jesus Christ. I put on the Shoes of Peace! May I stand firm in the Good News of the Gospel so your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter. I take the Shield of Faith! May I be ready for Satan’s fiery darts of doubt, denial, and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat. I put on the Helmet of Salvation! May I keep my mind focused on You so Satan will not have a stronghold on my thoughts. I take the Sword of the Spirit! May the two-edged sword of Your Word be ready in my hands so I can expose the tempting words of Satan. By faith your warrior has put on the whole armor of God! I am prepared to live this day in spiritual victory! Amen.

I have learned this prayer and it has helped me tremendously. As you may know that at the top of the page is Romans 6:10, this verse has helped someone else and she has shared it with me. I thank God for her because she is a blessing to me. @ejuile thank you for sharing this verse with me. Now my friends, have hope because there is redemption in the blood of Jesus Christ. Now, I ask you, what does it mean to be washed in the blood of Jesus? My point of view on this is to surrender your life and accept His free gift that He offers. The gift of salvation is to accept the Lord and say with all of your heart “My Lord and My God”. God bless y’all.

Now I have answered 4 questions so far and now it is time for the final question: How Can I Break this Habit?

Question 5: How can I break this habit?

How can I break this habit? I say build yourself up to make challenging goals that go beyond your willpower. You have the tendency to break the habit at all costs. You know when you are in a store and the clerk tells you “you break it you buy it.” That is the same way with this habit you break the habit and you buy self-discipline. That has always been true to my thinking as I write this. Bad habits can be broken if you take the time to open up yourself to others. As I have opened up my life to those on this forum.

Breaking this habit will be hard but you must not give in. Sacrificing myself has been a challenge that must be dealt with. Jesus said, “with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (KJV) There is quote that I like and it means a lot to me, Even the word impossible says “I’m Possible.” These words hold true as I type this. Jesus also said “ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 (KJV) So the truth is this habit can be broken and done away with. I also heard someone say, make me or break me.” In light of these words I want to be broken from this habit that has plagued me since the age of 13.

In conclusion the best way for me to break this habit is don’t give in and don’t give up. Breaking the chains of addiction can be hard at first but as I add more days I am starting to feel better.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Hello my friends, okay I am tired of bragging about being a Prayer Warrior. So lets turn the tables and provide some information that will help you along the way. Now I am not saying that anyone has failed, but I will to the best of my ability to provide what I can. Now lets begin by saying that you just begun to fight this urge and you need advice that will help. So to provide I will say that you can’t give up and set some ground rules for yourself. I have done this and it has helped me tremendously. If you follow a certain amount of rules in the beginning then you have started the fight.

Now lets say that you have finally made it to at least 10 days the urges are higher, but you don’t want to give up. Now for the most part the battle gets stronger. This is when you find another set of ground rules to try to follow and try your best to not fall into temptation. Also when you are this far along then you know that you have begun a battle from day 1. When day 1 turns into day 10 that’s when your emotions run higher. (Ex. anxiety, anger, depression, etc)

Now for me to begin, I started this small challenge of at least 5 days. Then I used a friend to text message back and forth between each other. (Ex. Text: Day 12/15 Complete and then the friend will Text: Day 12/15 Completed). It is not hard to find a friend you trust that you can do this with. I found a friend in this RC forum that I can trust. He and I have been exchanging these messages for so long and it has helped.

Now lets get back to the subject at hand. I have had experience to make it to 174 days before, and I know that I can do it again. I just want to share my experiences with you. Now to begin with day 20 the timeline of nofap, that’s when all the thing that you couldn’t do can be done. Day 20 marks almost a month in like 10 days but that is when you need to stop and think what must I do now? Me I started not calculating the days of nofap.

Day 30 the most prominent number in nofap. 1 month has been completed and you think “well I made it this far, can I go 60 days?” Yes if you made it to 30 then you can make it to 60. When you reach 1 month just be careful not to be overconfident. Be it as it may be the timeline of nofap is hard to complete, but you have got to fight those urges and go with whatever feels comfortable to you to overcome these urges. God bless y’all.

When day 1 turns into day 10 that’s when your emotions run higher. (Ex. anxiety, anger, depression, etc)

I can definitely relate on that one. Even just a few days in, I’ve had a few times where I felt all of those emotions. But it’s worth it to work past them! God bless you, Brother!

1 Corinthians 13:4 (KJV) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

To: My Friends

From: Prayer_Warrior

Hello my friends, I am doing well today, all things considered. Now last night we discussed about 1 month of nofap. Tonight we discuss about 2 months, so to begin with after you reach day 30. Day 31 you begin to feel the drag of low energy and low self-esteem. When you feel these symptoms that is when you mostly fail. But don’t worry if you make it to day 40 that is a blessing in itself. Now, days 31-40 are the most crucial of the battle because you mostly look back and see what kind of person you were when you were at day 0.

Now my friends, I speak this from experience because at one point in time I have reached 174 days. Beyond 174 days is a mystery to me so when I get that far and further then I will share my experience from there. My friend nofap can’t be completed in just one night. I thought this and that was mostly my downfall in the past. Now my downfall mostly is my fantasy, which I do not want to relinquish. For those of you at the beginning of this stage just look within yourself and say “I can do this, I know that I can.” The reason for you saying this is because you have already completed a certain amount of days.

Now let’s get back to the timeline, after you reach day 41, mostly you think that the battle is over, but it is not. Days 41 through 50 will make you struggle the most because you are finally this far to break the chains of addiction. Especially day 45 because 45 days marks the end of this struggle and if you fight the urges during day 45 then you will become a champion. When day 46 comes it seems (to me that is) that the discipline starts to take over. You manage what you think and you can manage your emotions.

Days 51-60 almost two months into nofap and freedom seems the best thing to you. But it is not over yet. Just as some of you have struggled in this, I have experienced this as well. When you have made it this far you will be struggling to complete the 60 days. you would want to give in at the peak of the mountain and if you do you lose.

My friends, imagine yourself at the bottom of the hill, (if you are just beginning) and focus on the tallest mountain you can think of. Now if you are so many days clean as I am then you have already started. Now I am 14 days clean so I am a little bit up the mountain. The highest peak is 365 days, so I have 351 days to complete the mountain. Now I am not saying count the day, it is just an illustration. Well when I do reach this peak I will celebrate with a victory of completion, but it will never be over because the temptation is still there. God bless y’all.

To: My Friends
From: Prayer_Warrior

Hello my friends, I am doing well today, no urges all things considered. Now we discussed about 1 month and 2 months of nofap. Tonight we will discuss the 3rd month of nofap. As well as you know some of you have not made it this far. The brain begins to rewire itself and your body begins the process of healing itself. I have experienced this for myself because when I reached day 70 the process of feeling has begun feeling better. Now every time I relapse I get lower back pain and double vision until I reach day 10. I am 38 years old and I should not have this habit haunting me. Now for those of you that are young, it is good that you have started this journey early. Because if you continue to do this and you get my age you will most definitely feel the effects of a relapse.

Now lets begin the timeline, 61-90 days the most prominent numbers of nofap. As you begin day 61 the brain tries to fight and make you relapse, I say don’t do it. Days 61-70 days is an up hill battle because you have to climb (or crawl) your way up the hill. Contemplate what you thinking at this stage of nofap. When you do fail at this stage it feels like that you have broken a promise to yourself. Now when you break a promise to yourself it feels like you are down in the dumps. At this stage in nofap the best thing to do is keep going and don’t look back.

Days 71-80, now this is where things tend to get better and your brain starts the rewire process. Now I said before I have learned this from my own experience. As your brain starts the rewire process the healing of the mind will erase all images of fantasy and ■■■■. Things you looked at before will be disgusting, even fantasies will not be remembered again. As you keep going through this stage of nofap the brain tends to try a backfire format to erase your days. Think for a moment that you are a soldier in the battle field, seeking out the enemy. As you seek this enemy you must find the enemy and kill him/her before he/she kills you. But if you get killed by the enemy then you have fallen in the field.

Days 81-90, This is where the actual battle takes place, the brain still tries to make you fail. The battle is fought with self-discipline and self-control. The most prominent enemy in this stage is your emotions. Your emotions will try to take over you in this stage of nofap, this is where you must either meditate or do some breathing exercises. If you do all of this at the beginning of nofap the battle here will not be hard to face. Just take a moment of your time each day and either meditate or do some breathing exercise. Also do some physical exercise to grow stronger in your muscle. Now let me pose a question (you may answer if you wish) do you know how to exercise your brain?¹ God bless y’all.

Hello my friends, I am doing well all things considered. As I mentioned yesterday I am going to tell you about brain exercise. Now to begin with their are 10 strategies to overcome nofap brain fog and regain mental clarity (brain exercise). Struggling with brain fog on your NoFap journey? It’s all about taking simple steps to regain your focus and clarity. Progress takes time, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Now the first strategy is Maintain a Healthy Diet. Your brain requires proper nutrition to function optimally. Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can significantly improve your cognitive function. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, are particularly beneficial for brain health. Maintaining a healthy diet will also will help you lose weight and get your life back on track. Now I ain’t saying starve yourself but just don’t eat anything that is sugary or junk food. I have begun doing this strategy and has helped tremendously. I went from 150 lbs to 142 lbs and the significance is amazing.

The second strategy is Stay Hydrated. Dehydration can exacerbate brain fog. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your brain well-hydrated. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily and adjust according to your activity level and climate. This is the most significant thing to do when you are trying to break this habit. I drink four 24oz bottles of water a day and the energy it gives me the next day is wonderful.

The third strategy is Get Adequate Sleep. Quality sleep is crucial for cognitive function. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and ensure your sleep environment is conducive to rest. This is my main goal for everybody trying to break this habit. If you don’t get plenty of sleep things will fall out of focus and you will fall. This is what happened to me when I lost my 110 day streak.

The fourth strategy is Exercise Regularly. Physical activity boosts blood flow to the brain and releases endorphins, which can help improve your mood and mental clarity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Activities like walking, jogging, yoga, and strength training can all be beneficial. I have an app on my phone that gives me exercises close to the exact number of 30 minutes. If you want to feel better during the day the best time to do exercise is in the morning.

The fifth strategy is Practice Mindfulness and Meditation. Mindfulness and meditation can help reduce stress and improve focus. Spend a few minutes each day meditating or practicing deep breathing exercises. This can help calm your mind and increase your awareness of the present moment, reducing brain fog. When I eat I tast the food I don’t take just 2 or 3 bits and it’s gone. I at least chew for about 32 times before I swallow. The next thing that I do is prayer meditation, to focus my attention on God and not be distracted by the things of this world.

Now I covered five strategies so far and tomorrow night I will discuss the other five. The conclusion of these five strategies so far can help you tremendously overcome nofap and benefit from the actions that are done. This has been my goal to share knowledge with others and help them tremendously. Nofap journeys can’t be a laughing matter, it must be maintained by self-discipline and hard work. The benefits will reap the progess. God bless y’all.

Hello my friends, I am doing tonight and no urges to mention, because I am using prayer meditation and breathing exercises to overcome these urges. Now last night we where talking about 10 Strategies to Overcome Nofap Brain Fog and Regain Mental Clarity (brain excercise). I only discussed five of these last night, so tonight I will discuss the other five.

The sixth strategy is Take Breaks and Rest. Overworking your brain can lead to mental fatigue. Incorporate regular breaks into your daily routine to give your brain time to rest and recharge. The Pomodoro Technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and then taking a 5-minute break, can be particularly effective. I have effectively mastered this technique and it helped me tremendously. If you take a break just take that time to pray to God.

The seventh strategy is Limit Screen Time. Excessive screen time, especially late at night, can contribute to brain fog. Reduce your exposure to screens by setting limits on your usage, using blue light filters, and taking frequent breaks from digital devices. I have yet to involve this strategy because I spend to much time here in this RC community. This is one I must put more focus on because this is a strategy that that has bothered me the most.

The eighth strategy is Seek Social Support. Talking to friends, family, or a support group can provide emotional support and reduce stress, which in turn can help clear brain fog. Sharing your experiences and challenges with others can make the journey less isolating and more manageable. This strategy is what I have worked on with @user1234567890. He tend to understand my problems and prays for me when I need it.

The ninth strategy is Engage in Mental Stimulation. Keeping your brain active and engaged can help improve cognitive function. Activities such as reading, puzzles, learning a new skill, or playing strategy games can provide the necessary mental stimulation to sharpen your mind. This is a strategy that is most affective when you are trying to break a habit. Playing a strategy game is like working your brain to be active. Reading a book is like going places that you have never been. It improves everything about you and you learn to open your mind to new possibilities.

The tenth strategy is Avoid Caffeine. While caffeine might give you a temporary boost, it can lead to crashes that worsen brain fog. Try to limit or eliminate this substances from your diet to maintain mental clarity. Avoiding caffeine has not been a problem for because I done away with caffeine 3 or 4 years ago. If I can avoid caffeine then I can avoid PMO.

In conclusion of these 10 strategies overcoming nofap brain fog requires a holistic approach that combines healthy lifestyle choices with mental and emotional support. By implementing these strategies, you can improve your cognitive function, regain mental clarity, and stay focused on your journey. Remember, it’s a gradual process, and being patient with yourself is key to success. God bless y’all.

Matthew 5:7 (KJV) Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy

To: My Friends
From: Prayer_Warrior

Hello my friends, I am doing well today, I have been able to manage my urges after loosing my 110 days streak. I ain’t saying that I am perfect but there is one person that is perfect and His name is Jesus. He is the one that I surrender my life to everyday. Now today I want to be thankful for the guys (and girls) on this forum for supporting me when I did fall. I know that I must not dwell on the past and just need to move on with my life. There is a quote that I heard but I don’t think it is word for word when I say it: “We learn from our mistakes and move on to a better and brighter future.” Yes I must learn from this mistake and pick up where I left off.

Now to begin with things are still not normal for me just yet but I am getting there. I know that I must have patience and live from day to day, because this can’t be done overnight. Oh it would be nice if I could wake up one day and say, “I made it to day 100 just 10 more days to accomplish and beat the all time record.” It will happen one day and I pray that I can accomplish this. Now to look into the future about 100 days from my last relapse will be February 25, 2025. This date is 5 days after my Christian Birthday. My Christian Birthday is February 20, so this is a great gift from God even though it is five days late.

I know that I must not be overconfident in my assessment of the situation. I don"t especially want to brag. In Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. As you see my friends, I don’t want to be boastful about my nofap streak. As you may know that my situation is strong to deal with, but I must have faith in the one who holds my future. He is the one I must surrender too and not look away from Him. As Peter was walking on the water he looked away from Jesus and was looking at the wind and the waves and lost faith. So you see my friends, there is only one God and He is the creator of the universe.

I have been praying for my redemption from this bad habit and I know that I must place my life and my future in the hands of God. I believe that this habit is just another trick from the devil to make us all go to hell. The devil is a liar and the father of lies, that is the simplest way to put it. Now my friends, if their is one thing that I must do and that is to give my life and my eternal soul to one who created me. Be strong brothers (and sisters) and don’t give up hope. Keep fighting and know that are Redeemer lives. God bless y’all

Micah 6:8 (KJV) He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

To: My Friends
From: Prayer_Warrior

Hello my friends, I am doing well tonight, all things considered. Now I know this is a subject everyone tries to avoid, urges in nofap, but I will tell you to the best of my knowledge what I have gone through. Now urges are very typical when you are tring to quit a habit. If you think about what you are doing everyday and don’t get to stressed the situation will not arise. For those of you just joining this conversation I want tell you, don’t give in to your urges. Be it as it may some of you have fallen victim to this mindless urge habit (myself included) that has ruin us all.

Now my friends, there is hope always in the hand of Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. So you see my friend this is a promise from God to us. It is a common sin that must be dealt with and given to Jesus. Surrender your life everyday to Him and these urges will not bother you all day.

In Romans 6:10 (KJV) For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. From this verse I get that He died only once, not 1000 times. Because He lives we must have faith to open our hearts door and surrender our life to Him. This hope is a hope that outshines them all. We don’t have to look beyond ourselves forthis hope we must look to God for our only hope. My friends, be confident is this very hope. In Philippians 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

As you see my friends, are confidence not only begins with us, It begins with Jesus that has begun a good work in us. Be true to what you believe and confident in the things that you do. Don’t be sad because these urges are strong but praise the Lord for the good and the bad. when you have a good day, Praise the Lord. When you have a bad day, Praise the Lord. God is the God of the impossible. Matthew 19:26 (KJV) But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. These urges are just a mere setback of the devil and he wants you to lose, but just look to Jesus for a smile on His face.

I tend to look at it this way, when I fall Jesus is sad. Now when I complete a day of no relapse, Jesus is smiling. Now I ain’t saying that you will be totally urge free, but you must just be hopeful in seeing a smile on Jesus’ face. Urges can be tempting and the urges also can be unforgiving, be content with what you think and pull through each urge. Pray everyday to Jesus to make it through 24 hours for one day and continue that prayer the next day. This is my surrender prayer, “Jesus I surrender my day to you, whatever you need from me today I will do.” God bless y’all.

Hello my friend, I am doing well tonight, I had one strong urge this morning but I found my method to overcome the urge. This song that I have listened to is more like a prayer song and when I sang along with the song the urges tend to melt away. That is what I call the devil getting angry because he didn’t win. The title of the song is, “Lord I Give You My Heart” by Michael W. Smith¹. Now there is subject that I want to clarify and that is weight. Do you feel like that you are overweight? Do you feel like nothing can be done about your weight? Well I may have an answer for you that will shock you to the core.

Weight gain can be cause by two factors (especially men) one factor that I want to talk about is this bad habit that has plagued us all. Yes my friends, m*********** can and will make you gain weight. I have learn this from experience. Because when I was compulsively doing this my weight was terrible to me. When I failed in November I gained 5 pounds. Over time as the day went by my weight is getting back to normal. You might be thinking, “what does weight have to do with this habit?” Well let me tell you my friend, when you are depressed you just want to keep eating and eating and won’t stop until you have had enough. Weight gain is a problem that all nofapper must avoid because that is what make the urge just that much stronger.

The second factor of weight gain is being an over-eater. When you eat to much your body stores that fat and works into your body. When your BMI is not average then you are overweight. Be careful at what you eat and don’t have a sugar rush attack either. At least take one day and miss one meal to get you weight back to normal. I have total experience in this if you have any question about your weight. I also have a BMI calculator to determine if it is average. If you are not afraid to share your weight then I can calculate it for you². The most trouble of weight gain is junk food and sugary food. Now I ain’t saying cut out your junk or sugary food just tone it down a little. I will now share with you what I did to lose my weight. It is nothing more than a list.

Weight Loss List:

Miss Breakfast everyday
Miss Saturday Dinner meal
Just two cookies every morning
Juck food (restaurant) once a month
Exercise 6 days in a row. (rest on Sunday)

As you see my friend this method has helped me tremendously and now one more to add NoFap. Yes NoFap will help as well to loss weight. You will be more focused in mental clarity and self-disiplined. As you progress through your journey thing will get easier to manage (especially your weight) and believe in yourself not to be obess. God bless y’all.
