Many aspire to escape this drug, but not all manage to do so. I made it to 90 days of NoFap. “Celebrating” this day, I thought nothing would be more fitting than to write something about this moment in my life. To share some stuff that have been going through my mind recently.
644 days. That’s how much time it took me to get to this point – 90 days of NoFap. More than a year and a half of trying again and again to rid my life of this filthy habit. It might seem like something stupid to some people, but to me it’s a great achievement. While obviously my journey isn’t even close to an end, it’s still feels incredibly nice for such a big burden to be lifted off my shoulders.
Since March 4th 2019, I have been trying to rid my life of PMO, but to be honest it’s mostly the “P” that was the problem. And that’s something that I’ve learned during this time. My whole life has been about NoFap in the last year and a half. A part of me still feels weird that I’m finally here.
There’s many things that I’ve learned during this time that I’d love to share with the Internet. I have a lot of notes that I’ve been taking during this period of my life. I wanted to “release” my thoughts earlier and maybe I should’ve, but I just thought that the message would be much better received from a winner. A person that got over the main hump. I just think that even I, as a student, would rather get advice from a professor or a professional rather than another student.
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past, a big part of NoFap and in general the process of dealing with any addiction is much harder and complex than it may seem to an outsider. I remember the days when I used to look at my mom’s smoker friends and think “Well if it’s so bad for them, then why don’t they just quit?” Now I know why. Or at least I can much better understand their point of view, which in the end I think is one of the most important things.
During this time in my life, I’ve gone through a lot of transformations. Or better yet – experiments. These “experiments” have lead to the accumulation of a lot of experience – some that truly changed my life and others that I barely remember. From going vegan to losing weight and then putting it back on. From losing my mind during quarantine to being the most productive person on this planet. From playing video games 10 hours a day to reading books 24/7. To sum it up – I got shit inside my head that I just got to get out.
I guess in a way, in the past 12 months I’ve just been waiting for this moment. This moment when I finally considered myself as a person that others could deem worthy of advice giving or whatever the hell I just tried to say. Like no joke, I got hundreds of ideas across my OneNote, Google Keep, Samsung Notes and Notion apps.
