The Commitment

The Commitment

This commitment is straight forward when you think about it really.

Quit smoking - for good
Go 90 days NoFap
Drink responsibly
Work out

The head start is that I?ve done all these brilliantly.  Last year was the year of the can-do.  I started the year almost getting to 100 days without fapping.  In that time I became empowered.  I learnt to drive, which was a massive thing holding me back.  I also quit smoking, only to fall at numerous hurdles.  I stopped in the summer, smoked again after a boys excursion.  Then quit again in November with two weak moments on New Years Eve and New Years Day.  Some how, going into 2015, I got back on the wagon.  Another boys trip sealed my smoking fate.  Until now.  I became lax with NoFap, got into bad habits with pornography and I?ve stopped going to the gym. 


Well today, I intend to finish all of that.  It is the 4th of May and by midnight I want to finish my cigarettes and I will have fapped to porn for the last time.  This is the perfect time to start, although any time is a perfect time to start, I have started a new job in London.  A completely new environment.  While I am scared at the uncertainty of a new job, I can embrace that uncertainty by adapting to my new surroundings.  I may as well go in it adapting my brain and body as well.

Here?s to the commitment.

P.S - Is this the same forum I was using early last year?  Has it had a refurb?
 
I'm on day 4 according to my app and it's been a rollercoaster. 

Commuting to London leaves me drained but very positive.  I'm constantly doing something which is making it a lot easier.  Yesterday I was dominantly angry, mainly because I left my nicotine patch at home.  I had to go out and get one.

Today is election day in the UK and it's been very sexy.  There has been only one thought in my mind all day and that's women.  Around every corner of London there was a stunner.  I wondered to myself why I don't notice it every day.  Obviously, nofap is unplugging down the very thing that dumbs down sex.  I've done this before and know this very well.  But I like days like this.  It reassures me.  I just need to control myself.  I'm like a dog on heat.

Angry and horny seems to be the theme.  Conservatives appear to be winning on the exit polls.  So tomorrow will just be straight up depressed I imagine.

Nice one mate!
Beat one addiction and it takes the edge off kicking the rest, innit.
Keep going forward. Your life is going to get a lot better soon if you stick to it.
 
Giving up smoking and quitting masturbation? Don't think I would have the willpower for those two at once. Fair play to you and wishing you all good luck!

Hammer,

I know what you mean about noticing a stunner on every corner. I'll feel like everything is under control til I leave the house, then its a real challenge to not check out every girl that walks by. I find the more I look, the harder it is to resist looking the next time. Someone wrote a huge journal on here with a few posts on "ogling" and how doing so affects the brain similarly to porn, just in a lower dose of dopamine. This post was helpful for me because I didn't even realize I was ogling, let alone that it was a trigger.

Best of luck with your reboot!
