Week 1

As much as I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, week 1 is the hardest week. The urges are the worst, your body and mind are at their weakest, and your brain can always convince you that fapping won't hurt. But you shouldn't listen to your brain. Listen to those of us that know all the good NoFap brings. Week one is categorized by:

Strong urges, need to fap
Increase in motivation (if I get through this week I'll basically be at 90!!! No. No you won't.)
Increased happiness
Ridiculous sex drive (random boners/wanting to gently caress every girl you see)
Once Week 1 is over the journey only gets easier. This is because fapping is a bad habit. Like any habit, it can be broken. After one week, it becomes easier to form new habits that will result in an even easier time down the road. The Snowball Effect is a huge part of NoFap.

Week 2

This is where it gets easier, if you do it right. Energy is starting to return and you will feel pretty good. You may even attract a girl or two. DO NOT get with anyone during this week. It will 100% result in PMO at a later date. As always, stay away from pics and edging. Most importantly: form new habits. NoFap by itself only increases energy levels and productivity. It is up to you to use these boosts to impact a positive change in yourself. Week 2's defining characteristics are:

Incredible horniness
Random boners 24/7
Social extroversion starts to show itself
Social anxiety begins fading
Become more forward/physical with girls and as result:
Girls become more attracted to you
Increased energy
Better focus
Better memory (may have something to do with me quitting weed a little bit before PMO)
Better work ethic

Week 2 is the make or break week. If you start meditating, working out, reading for pleasure, and consistently going out with your friends this week, you will get to 60 days. Guaranteed. If you simply stay at home and browse reddit/the internet or play videogames all day you will fail. Look up body language hacks to increase your confidence even more and halt the possible, small, period of depression that results in week 3.


Week 3

The least defined week in the whole journey. Generally, the blah nature of this week leaves you the most vulnerable to relapse. The initial motivation and benefits are fading, and you begin to question whether or not NoFap is worth it. Persevere, and you will thank yourself 1,000 times over. Week 3 is defined by:

Impatient mood (why am I not a sex god yet? superpowers r fake n gay)
Decreased energy compared to week 3
Decreased work ethic
Libido flatline- Do not test if your dick still works. Trust me, this is a slippery slope and you will be able to get it up for a real girl again soon
Social anxiety still fading
Social extroversion more apparent
Less aggressive towards girls as a result of flatline (This may be the opposite for some as the flatline freaks them out and they need to assert their masculinity through flirting/touching/general sexual behavior with women)

Week 3 sucks. That's the truth. It is too early to see any benefits from your new habits, and you begin to realize that this whole changing your life thing takes some real loving work and big, manly, hairy, balls.

Week 4

The week of two tales. The beginning of this week is the low point of your journey. The first 4 days are the same as week 4 and it is extremely difficult to persist. Do so, and the rest of the journey is cake. If you have been sticking to your workout/meditation/possibly new job/hanging with friends regimen then these are the benefits you will begin to see towards the 28th day:

You will look better (provided your workouts are intense enough, it takes 2 weeks to see a change in your own body)
Decreased social anxiety
Increased urge to talk to girls
Start to really feel love for friends/family
Begin to appreciate your life
Insane energy
Memory almost fully improves
Crazy focus
School (if applicable) begins to get easier

Week 4 is the week that earned NoFap its volatile and unpredictable reputation. Rollercoaster is a pretty good word to describe it. Keep your guard up through week 4 and you'll be set. I'd estimate 95% of all relapses come in the first four weeks.

Week 5

What a week. You are bursting with energy just as the world around you seems to burst with color. Every benefit you experience and all the superpowers you experience manifest themselves in week 5. While "superpowers" do not exist, this week could fool you. The combined benefits of NoFap, meditation, working out, and an increased social life makes one feel godlike. The Week 5 benefits are as follows:

Extreme amount of energy
Brain works faster/ brain fog is gone
Memory is extremely accurate
Real happiness
Contentment with your life
Body is getting better
Social anxiety basically gone
Desire to talk to people develops
Confidence skyrockets as a direct result of all the benefits above
Become very attractive to girls as a result of confidence
Libido still flatlined

Week 5 is awesome. It is still early enough to remember what you felt like when you PMOed, and not late enough to take the superpowers for granted. From now on there are only gradual improvements but do not be discouraged. It is still improvement and no matter what you are a more successful person than when you PMOed.

Weeks 6-8.5

Superpowers become normal. Life starts to feel easy. Girls are much easier to talk to as a result of you getting your poo poo together. Anyone here that reads any seddit or seduction-related materials, this is what people mean when they say "build an attractive life and you will become attractive". You do not need to seduce girls anymore. They will seduce you. Stick to the habits you developed over the last four weeks and you will become an absolute beast. You might feel yourself plateauing but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Every plateau is a chance for you to take a deep breath, look around to see how far you've come, and keep on loving climbing. Never stop improving.

Weeks 6-8.5 benefits are:

Brain works faster
Zero brain fog; no voice in the back of your head
Memory is perfect
Real happiness from everything in your life
Contentment
Body is much nicer
Social anxiety gone
Talking is fun
Girls are easy to talk to and touch
Confidence skyrockets
Become very attractive
Libido comes roaring back

Most sexual contact is fine at this point because you have built up enough resistance and enough habits that any O induced by a woman should not have a chaser effect or cause a desire to look at porn. If it does, remember what you are working towards and think about the fact that if day 60 feels this good, you cannot even imagine how good day 160 will feel.

NoFap did not change my life. It gave me the energy, motivation, and free time to do so. Even though I have a lot of chores, hobbies, and quite a busy social life (got a girlfriend around day 50, who was my crush of 6 months until I manned the gently caress up and ASKED HER OUT) I still marvel at how much I can get done in one day. PMO was time-consuming, depressing, and downright awful. But I changed. And so can you. All that you need is the motivation, the discipline, and the straight-up massive testes that it takes to maximize your potential as a person. Use NoFap as a tool, not a crutch.

And for fucks sake don't edge you horny sluts!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Timo Cruz (Coach Carter)
