Great to hear your reasons and your visions . Welcome to this challenge @EmeraldArcher . And yes nofap will really improve your sexual energy and your focus. You have taken the right path, now itās time to win this addiction once and for all. All the best warrior. You are now an apprentice and you will have to go through all the way upto the heroās zone.
And make sure to practice this method atleast 10 times a day
@Spirituals11 Sad to see you fell again, brother. The challenge is always here for you, you can get back up again. Remind yourself how painful relapsing is and decide that youāre not going back there again.
Check-in Day 30 (Day 210 hard mode with GODās Help) One affirmation:I am happy. One thing Iām thankful for in my life:I am thankful for good health. Progress for the day:Another day free and clean! Number of urges:0 Number of practices:10+
I started tearing up at first 3 reads. At first it was like, I felt I was actually in a negative mindset, like I let myself down even though I didnāt relapse, just the fact that I had to partake this journey. Mid way I was like, well duh, of course I have a choice. And towards the end of my 10 read throughs, I felt a glimmer of confidence & that what I was saying was already true.
Thankfully Iāve already been working on mindfulness on & off for 9 years, but solid for past 2. Also have some visualization experience too : ).
Thank you for accepting me, glad my account is marked safe for suspicious activity for some reasonā¦ Maybe cause I have 2 phones & access to different internet connections.
Anyways, extremely excited & proud. Happy to be in this community of Brothers & sisters.
Is sex not allowed? I thought PMO meant porn that lead to masterbation that leads to orgasmā¦or is it I canāt do any of those? If I canāt do masterbation (images of spiritual wife in my head & actual existing photos) or orgasm (from sex & the ladder), Iāll sadly have to do different challenges. I just have different philosophical views. @Sahas@Forerunner
If this is not allowed, is there some way I can unofficially do the challenge with getting calculated points or something but be placed in a null catagory or something. Iād just be really sad if I canāt officially participate because of philosophical differences if thatās the case with the true definition of PMO. I just love this concept so much and it would hurt my motivation a moderate amount sadly.
First please change your idā¦ āSo close to quittingāā¦ When you keep on looking thatā¦ Sub consciously u may loose confidenceā¦ Better to have some heroic namesā¦
All the Best Brother

2 months ago I started my no fap journey and I promised to quit smoking
I started meditation, working out, intermittent fasting, eating clean and adopted other good habitsā¦ Everything was going fine and I tried to change my lifeā¦ But for past few days nothing is going on well, I have started smoking againā¦
I am 24 years old now and still havenāt figured out what I have to do in lifeā¦ I was doing a job and earning some money but wth hat amount I was not able to things and manage my livingā¦ So i decided to quit my job and study to have a good jobā¦
6 months have passed and now I donāt have any job, I fap, I smoke, I have not studied well and I have to take care of my family as well as my parents are oldā¦
I rely somewhat on them now for my living as I have completely spent my savingsā¦
I want to change my life for betterā¦ Can anyone help me by guiding me how can i change my life for good, I have tried to figure it out myself countless times but i have failedā¦
I want to study because in 2 months I will have my papers to get my job but i am unable to study right nowā¦

Please help me to get out of this situationā¦ I am tired of being who I am
@Forerunner Brother , today morning i watched your latest YouTube video , and i canāt tell how it has helped me , it helped me alot man , thanks alotā¦
Before my condition was so bad that my day was full of distraction and urges , but after watching it my view has changed , the day passed with no urges at all.
I also watched few other vedios and they all are equally helpful for a person like me , thanks again mann . ( Iāve subscribed too )
Keep up the good work.
Look @selfconqurer I have been in your place. I am 23 years old, last year I quitted my job at dominos. I wanted to earn more but couldnāt find any job, I got depressed and started complaining everything. Then in late July I started nofap journey and it brought me everything that I needed to change my life.
My suggestion to you will be to get serious about nofap and stop complaining. Take charge of your life, remember you are who you decide to be. Be fear lessā¦ I told you my story just to remind you that you are not alone. They are thousands like you who are lost. But here you are. Realisation is the first step towards change.
All the best brother.
One affirmation: Be good. Do good. Leave the rest to God.
