I was a chronic porn user for 9 years. Prior to porn I was a top notch football player, captain of the local team and crucial for my team. I won the gold twice and bronze once in cross country, bronze in shot put and 200m athletics. In academics I was unbeatable as well. I didnt have to study or do any sort of revision, for I had photographic memory (YES! I would score full marks even on surprise tests lol and I could memorize a whole biology book.
By age of 10 I knew almost everything about the human body and how things work.) I was the prodigy everyone knew in my social surroundings. I was famous, respected, promised to a bright future.
Then started the way down. Two years after being introduced to porn, I started taking things lightly though still managed to get 27th rank nationwide and obtain full scholarship thanks to memory. However, my memory was growing weaker and I became a forgetful person. My most treasured gift became flawed. I got my first academic failure a year later (which would be just the first of many more failures). I went into severe depression which pushed me further and further into PMO without realising that this was the root of all problems for me. In one year, I became obese (as I preferred to stay home PMO and play video games) and couldn’t play any sports. I was made fun of for being fat and binging on fast food. This was not the least of my problems. I also experienced severe hairfall and my skin was always oily. I developed a really bad temper and this caused sourness in my relations at home esp with my brother. Then we had a big fight and my brother just said “You changed. I don’t recognise you. You are not the brother you used to be.” My life turned to hell, and at the lowest point in life, I was searching motivation online when I stumbled on NOFAP.
I tried NOFAP and this is what happened:
- cleared all my backlogs and avoided a year back
- grades escalated and managed to beat topper of batch in Engineering.
- from an unknown individual with no friends in college to the social butterfly.
- comfortable around women, even the most beautiful ones on campus.
- travelled to Europe alone and met my beautiful girlfriend.
- went to Skrillex concert (I always wanted that) with my hommies
- went on a road trip around India and blended in the foreign culture perfectly.(quite an experience)
- performed a duo dance with the most talented girl I know on stage in front of hundreds of people
- confidence level is at the top and ready to face any challenge
- taking life positively
- do not feel constantly tired and sleepy anymore
- real stamina in bed
- an understanding of women and their emotions (not only women but people in general)
- memory gets better everyday
- well built muscular body (now guys ask me advise on how to do it!!!)
- peaceful and do not have anger issues anymore,,, and this list goes on if we consider the small changes in daily life.
Now, mind you, it was not a walk in the park. It’s more of a rollercoaster ride. I went through the flatline and the blueballs, the frustration that these urges and thoughts bring, edging and letting curiosity take over, relapsed, went on binges, etc. Y
ou have to be vigilant and extremely careful. REMEMBER why you started and how your life was before nofap i.e never forget the horrors that pushed you to abstain for a better life. My dear friends, I’ve been through the best year of my life and I won’t trade the experience for anything in the world.
Stay the course, Stay safe and BE A MAN!
This post is for you out there, newbies and experienced alike. You may take it as an inspiration or just another success story but I hope that somehow it’s gonna be of help for you.
