Day 31
āSometimes we are tested not to show our weakness, but to discover our strengthsā
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless. When you look at yourself ask, is this you? If not, you should change and realise this is for your benifit, and it is for you to realise who you are.
Incredible progress, Iām delighted to see how joining the challenge has helped you. Congratulations on passing your highest streak, new territory now! Letās go all the way together. One day at a time.
Donāt forget to note down how many urges you dealt with and how many times you practiced; Iām sure it will help with extra motivation as you progress and keep you focused and accountable.
Congrats on your 150 days broā¦ May God bless youā¦ My best wishes for you to reach 1000 daysā¦ This morning I woke up around 2 AM studying somethingā¦ Around 5 i sleptā¦ After some time, i was in half sleepā¦ Its not dream i was in half sleep ie. i was about to sleep, Some goon (Ghost of goon, dunno) has come and spoke something to meā¦Even i saw his face in half sleep. Then he just sat on me and lie down on me, hugged me tightlyā¦ It was so real, i could feel his presence on me and his weight on me, his face on my chestā¦ I couldnāt move my body, it was like i was stoned but i was fully consciousā¦i forgot the mantra that i use to chant. My mouth was sealed, i couldnāt open my mouth or utter a wordā¦ Finally with great struggle, i called upon the Gods name for help ā¦ After some time, the feeling has gone (the goon has gone)ā¦ i came back to normal conditionā¦ Was that my mind played that trick or was that the ghost or something i dunnoā¦ But it was so real and i am sure i didnāt sleep and it was not a dream I was in half sleepā¦
I had a wet dream today. And if you wonder why am i glad is because I donāt remember how many months it had been since my last wet dream. I am on day 12 and feeling good.
Apart from other benefits the significant one which i felt is
My mid exams are at hand and i feel my brain sharp again. I can easily solve mathematical problems and donāt feel the hesitation which otherwise i would have when attempting one . @Forerunner
Affirmation - I am willing to change. I am a winner.
One thing I am thankful is my guts to get outcome instead of regretting about not taking any actions.
urges defeated - 0
Report of the day - today was a clean day. I have retained my focus successful, took me 12 days to recover. I worked hard and was tired before sleeping.
I think the more you think of it fighting alone , you tend to go the wrong way. Everytime I have come in this forum and open about my ups and down and keeping in touch with the community helps a lot. This is the key to make this journey successful. Itās not only about completing the 90 days or even 1000 daysā¦ itās about making new friends , all the ups and downs that made you stronger, all those who were inspired by you to follow the right path . Focus on the journey because journey is itself the treasure we seek for.

Suggestion for others to refrain from PMO:
Just think of the power of NoFapā¦ Donāt you want to change your lifeā¦ Donāt you want to feel the freshness and confidenceā¦ Then practice NoFapā¦
Never look at the girlsā¦ Even if the mind slips, donāt allow it to go back of that girl, cut the thoughts and fill your brain with the thoughts of the benefits of NoFap. I am following this in my lifeā¦
There was a saint name Swamy Vivekanandha lived in 18th century. He has tremendous spiritual power and mind powerā¦ He has the ability to read the whole page in a single stretchā¦ We use to read the pages line by line rightā¦ He could read the book page by pageā¦ Even the book is very huge, he could memorize it in a short span of time and able to recollect anything from those booksā¦ When someone asks about his mind power , he told that its very simple, anyone can attain this powerā¦
He told that anyone who preserves his semen for 12 years can do thisā¦ This is a live proofā¦
Just have constant thoughts regarding NoFap and advantages of NoFapā¦You can do itā¦ Easily
Connecting with others is our secret weapon on this journey - every time we relapsed, we were isolated and alone. Somuch healing power in sharing our experiences with people going through the same struggles as us. Youāre on the right track brother, keep going!
@Wyatt Thank you for your congratulations brother. I pray I see you back on this side of 90 days again this time. Letās work together
Iāve had experiences like that myself as well, terrifying. I donāt quite understand them. Just like you, I found that reciting GODās Names and verses of Scripture helped.

Diary: Spent time usefullyā¦Life is going busyā¦ I found no timeā¦ Yet to follow the schedules.
Suggestion for others to refrain from PMO:
Actually NoFap Journey cannot be done by our ownā¦ We need to work together to get ride of this Dangerous Habitā¦ There is a group of people in this world who wants this society to be weak . Hence ā ā ā ā existsā¦ Hence such culture to get girls easily existsā¦ Hence chat applications existsā¦ The real potential of Human will come out when he is refrained from PMO. According to me the ultimate destiny of this journey is a life with zero lustful thoughtsā¦ I meant it is totally in controlled mannerā¦ It should be used only when it is requiredā¦
ā ā ā ā , Masturbation is a TRAPā¦ Please donāt get caught like a Rat that gets into the cage for the foodā¦ Its a trapā¦ Lust with girls is something like a itchng sensationā¦ The more you scratch the more is the pleasureā¦ After scratching for a long time, you can see the blood oozes outā¦But this time it pains, there wonāt be any pleasureā¦ Same is the case for PMOā¦ The more you do PMO the more is the pleasure finally the output is darkness, Depression, Low self esteem, Failure in Normal life and sexual life blah blah blah
The one who understands this truth can kill the urgeā¦
Hearty Congrats to our brother @Forerunner for the mile stone of 150 Daysā¦ Many more to goā¦ My prayers and wishes for taking this to 1000 daysā¦ Letās applaud him for his success and for running this group that helps us to get free from PMOā¦

Suggestion for others to refrain from PMO:
I tried my best in my life to stop fapping for more than 20 years. I failed. I never quit tryingā¦ That is the reason i found this groupā¦SO NEVER EVER QUIT TRYING, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FAILā¦ Its very difficult to quit NoFap if we try it aloneā¦ This is the first time i am trying with different friends who are in the same pageā¦ I find it very easy this time to travel in the journey of NoFapā¦ I request each and everyone to read the contents of this group daily twice or thrice every day and keep your status updated so that OUR MIND WILL REMEMBER that we are in the journey of Nofapā¦
If you have strong urges then, close your eyes, count from 5 to 1ā¦
5ā¦4ā¦3ā¦2ā¦1 then react immediately on the activity that helps to stop fappingā¦
1)Look in the mirror and seeing yourself eye-to-eye
2)Imagine: How you will feel exactly after relapsing
3)Remind yourself of all the pain of addiction
4)Do some tasks that you find it difficult to do , which is called sex sublimationā¦
Your mind is in the state of Fapping when you are in strong urgesā¦So ur mind will not allow you to do anything apart from Fappingā¦ So you need to deceive your mind to switch it off (counting backwards from 5 to 1) and before it moves to the state of fapping again, just jump into the activity that helps in Nofap IMMEDIATELY AFTER UR COUNT REACHES 0ā¦ This is difficult initially. But with constant practice and awareness you get to use to itā¦
āAll roads lead home, even if it isnāt the easiest roadā
No. Urges=1
Affirmation- Iām completely present and myself. I see others around me unable to be who they truly are, they are trying to be something they arenāt. I sit down and talk to them all individually to help them.
Everyone has the same structure of mind. Everyone has an id, superego and ego. However not everyone implements these the same way.
Id- telling you to do things only for yourself and doesnāt want you to take other people into account.
Superego- Total opposite of id. This says help others and become the person the person they need. Make decisions that is faor for everyone.
Ego- The part of your brain that make decisions. Depending on what situation you are in, the ego will think whether it is best to follow the id or the superego.
Although the id may seem bad, there is no right or wrong. It is just different perspectives. For example if you are following a dream of being a professional athlete, but everyone is saying you canāt, then at that point you will start working harder for yourself and stop listening to other peoples opinions. You did this because the ego chose to listen to the id.
Nofap clears the mind so the ego can make clearer decisions as to what you truly want to do. You will make more direct decisions, and no longer regret your old ones, because you realise they canāt be changed anymore. It helps you realise that once you cross the river, you no longer need the boat.
