The POWER!

Well, here I am fapless for 7 days. I finally got rid of that smiley face-- with it's playful smirk ever reminding me of how short my progress really is.

Well you know what? FU smiley face, you don't know how far I've come! And you know what? You're not even allowed on my badge anymore!

I don't know if I am experiencing any of the typical 'superpowers', as I had a relatively balanced life even before I started this journey. But you know what I did gain? WILLPOWER!

I just had the perfect opportunity to open a new tab, and just check [something out I won't describe as to avoid a possible trigger to readers]. And I said no to myself. This was not even a struggle, it was not a difficult decision. Sure I want to look at P, I've been doing it regularly for well over a decade and my brain's wiring is set up to do just that...but 7 days of nofap allowed me to ignore the urge much more easily than I have ever been accustomed to before.

Right now, this very moment, I consider myself to have gained some free time in life, because without no fap I would be wasting these minutes searching from one video to the next, stimulated, with dopamine blasting, but unsatisfied. Instead, I think I'll go learn a new song on the guitar. Thanks everyone for being such a wonderful community!
