Day 25 (178)
Affirmation: Stagnation breeds relapse. Been too lazy for this weekend
Progress: none. Sleeping and finally feeling better, plus college work
Urges: as always, too many to count
Notes: stagnation breeds relapse. Although I have a straight laced schedule, I fell off these past few months. God, it feels depressing when all you do is lay in bed, listening to the same old BS. You are much happier when you are at work and not gaining weight. Doing my workout right now after this post, because God help me, I feel miserable. Kinda like how you feel right before you relapse. Stay busy. Yes, there will be days when it all feels hopeless and impossible, but It is only impossible if you give up. Who knows, tomorrow might be the day you finally see some fat shed off those abs, or get a good paycheck, or she might just text back. It wont happen if you give up and just stay lazy.
@Forerunner, please update my details according to my new start. I started from ā16 (+0) 0ā yesterday. I am in Apprentice group at this time.
Heroās Day Streak: 58
Affirmation: I will achieve greatness! Iām already living the dream, I just have to scale it up!
Grateful for: My spiritual wife for giving me $60 due to being a tight month thanks to not thinking well on my part. Iām still getting used to having $120 less per month from my business as Iām reinvesting that money now. I would have been fine, but I went crazy ordering stuff on Amazon with extra money I had in an old fun money account, but then I ended up going over what was in there. Also, Valentineās Day dinner was $38 plus $10 gift and a few other things. All of the stuff off Amazon was important. A seat cushion for my computer chair to not slide, have better posture & far less back pain. A foot rest for the same reason. Fish tank heater & new filters for cheap fish Iām getting soon so my cat has something to look at when Iām at my spiritual wifeās place.
I just should have bought all that stuff over 2-3 months, not one. Idk what got over me. I think I just got adrenaline going through me when I realized I had an extra $140 and then my mom bought me a split couch (futon, but looks like actual couch) and I got uber excited and guess I just felt like I had that kind of money to spendā¦($430 after taxes and shipping).
Iām investing $50 with wealth simple per month, and could always transfer money from my savings/business earnings in an extreme situation, but shit like this doesnāt fly. Thatās why Iām so fucking grateful my spiritual wife gave me $60 to help me out.
Another productive and clean day!

Day 26 (179)
Affirmation: āIf it feels so good, why are you always trying to quit?ā
I am Grateful for: having time to do my exams for college and getting better after being sick for a week. The struggles make me stronger.
Progress: working on my first exam for college
Urges: as always, too many to count
Notes: Its not gonna feel good or rewarding going back to porn. I know it all too well and lost many a streak due to it. Hell, I am surprised that tomorrow I hit 180 Days! After almost 30 relapses on NoFap, 180 Days. 6 MONTHS! Almost halfway there to a year. God it was rough. The urges, the depression, the FREAKING Wet Dreams nearly twice a week for the past month and a halfā¦not to mention the inevitable flatline that will happen. And then there is the constant wave of doubt and hopelessness that we all feel.
WORTH IT!
Now to get back into habits and to overcome the hard times and numerous amounts of work.
A fap a day keeps your crush/Ideal love away, as they said somewhereā¦I think Reddit.
Keep going. 90 days isnāt the official reboot period. Its is just a milestone, as it takes 21 days to make a habit, 90 days to make it a lifestyle, or at least easier to assimilate it. NoFap is life. If you think all the superpowers and good fortune will be there in one dayā¦well, I have bad news for you, buddy. One year as Gabe Dawg said. One year to see real benefits. Keep going.

Affirmation: Iāve earned my success so far and commit to the continuation of personal growth across all aspects of my life.
Grateful for: My awesome day with Spiritual wife. We ended up fully mooching the event and walked 14km today after walking 20km yesterday. My spiritual wife actually walked 100km this past week! Itās common for us to walk around 10km per day with 1-2 days off or light walking. 50km is easy in spring summer fall with no snow (first stage Pokemon reward) 100km not so much (second stage pokemon reward). We commonly walk 60-80km at the end of each week most weeks weather permitting, but that extra 20km is not a healthy desission. Personally I like about 65km per week in good weather.

Iām more busy with my work now, but at the same time I used to waste so much time at home. This will allow me to still comforably walk 65km per week still I think. My work day is only 1-2 hours unless im learning something new, but thatās only maybe 1 day - 1 week tops of more than 4 hours per day.
Donāt get me wrong, I love working on my online business, but Iāve had a mindset shift to work efficiently and focused. But, when my business grows as I do, my efficient work day will get larger.
When I first got into Internet marketing, I had a 70 hour work week 4 weeks in a row due to researchā¦8-10 hours a day doing research.
Glad Iām well informed now and know what I want to do.

I am Grateful for: having a Great Amount of time to sleep
Progress: making sure I get a lot of time specific stuff that needs to be done today at the right time.
Urges: Got one right now. But day 180, soā¦No.
Notes: Its not gonna be easy, but it will be worth it. 6 months without PMO. Wowā¦almost halfway there. Gotta keep going. Been good and praying for continued fortune.

Awesome to see others on the forum really taking success seriously. You definitely have to be ready to actually follow through. I mean, everybody wants success.
For me personally, I started to make a concious effort after I lost my job on Jan 4 2015.
But, it wasnāt until I got connected well in the health care system here, got the income support I needed, finally got the proper medication and got out of debt until I made real change.
Big change started to happen after the proper medication got put into place in September 2018. But, it wasnāt until Summer 2019 I REALLY started kicking ass. Summer 2019 I finally started to consider myself successful.
Even though I was still on disability income support and still am. Success is mostly a mindset. Give that mindset time and your finances will increase drastically.
Finaces are just 1 point, and usually the only point people consider when thinking of success.
From a book I read called āThe Miracle Morningā by Hal Elrod, it claimed there are 10 aspects of success and I found it hard to disagred. Iāll post a pic if I can find it.
But, I was already successful in the happiness department, same with family and significant other. Mind you, these werenāt level 10 yet as the book implies, but they were all at least solid 5-6 after summer 2019.

Affirmation: I thank my inner flame that burns strong which helps me achieve success each day.
Grateful for: Still very grateful for free healthcare with skilled and kind nurses. My spiritual wife for meeting me half way when we were communicating today about politics and understanding that Iām trying my best to not interrupt her. I try not to talk about politics, itās a show put on to keep the people stupid & think they have a say. Best to never watch news or shorten your life by caring about politics. Instead, itās much better to find a way to succeed no matter what any laws, taxes, permits any government throws at you. Thatās real success in not blaming the gov for why youāre brokeā¦
