You may not notice the "Super Powers" during NoFap, but you'll notice them after relapse..

I tried NoFap for the first time for 3 weeks - In the end it wasn't temptation that got me, but rather just "Well, its been hell of a good run- 5 days was my previous best for as long as I could remember! Its not like I've experienced any huge benefits."

During the 3 weeks, I noticed a little more focus, energy, and motivation to work out. Nothing that hit me as "Holy shit, super powers!!", but subtle improvements that came to me slowly.

3 Days ago on Thursday I "voluntarily" ended my NoFap campaign by indulging in PMO a few times. Not gonna lie - it felt like that episode of South Park when Kenny got high on cat piss.

But afterwards, I realize what people meant by "Super powers". For the weekend I felt like some shit.

Didn't go to the gym or run for the first time in 2 weeks. Ate a couple rather unhealthy meals. Stayed inside, and didn't do anything particularly productive. Felt mildly drowsy the entire day, like some sort of masturbation hangover. I nearly fell asleep in class for the first time this year - thats when it hit me:

This is what I was experiencing on a constant basis for possibly the LAST 5 YEARS! I realized that the reason I could never stay awake in high school was because of PMO taking away my energy and willpower.
During these 3 weeks, these little boosts had me functioning at a higher state than I had in a long while. They actually were the "Super Powers" that I was looking for, and everyone talks about, but I didn't think of them as such until I relapsed.

So I don't feel ashamed, but I definitely know what I need to do now, and what I've been missing out on. 90 Days or GG no re. Serious business this time.
