Around three and a half years ago was the day I put an end to my addiction. Me realising what destructive effects it had on me, coupled with Lucid’s words of courage was enough for me to put an end to it. I have seen this man grow like a flourishing flower throughout this entire time. He has improved, matured and learned from his mistakes just like I, and the majority of us have in our conquest for mental discipline and freedom. Although I am saddened to hear that he had a lapse of judgement, I can assure you he is the exact same man he has worked himself up to. Right now I don’t see the lucid of three years ago. I see a man who has improved so much that he is capable of owning up to his mistake in a heartbeat. Which is something I, and many of us might have hesitated to do. In such a short time this man lost one petal, and grew his roots twice over. Alex I love you man, you know it yourself. You’re an an absolute beast, and when I finally meet you in real life we are gonna have a good laugh about this💪
repost because my other reply got deleted So many people need to see this advice. Almost everyone in "nofap communities" are trying to force themselves out of addiction. So many are doing the same thing over and over and over again, yet they expect a different result every time. That's not how it works. You need faith and understanding, not willpower. (For more information, please read the Purge PMO e-book. I can't express how much I recommend this to those trying to free themselves)
When you miss a day at the gym after 5 years of going, you don’t lose all your progress and return to the start. You still have all the muscle that you built over the years, same applies for nofap. If you relapse on day 1000, you still have the progress from the first 999 days. People shouldn’t beat themselves up so hard after relapsing on a long streak, just keep going like it never happened.
I saw the title and immediately understood that you didn't 'fail', you broke the addiction long ago man, I remember watching you years ago. I stop by every now and then, but i'm glad you're so transparent to your audience i'm assuming the majority of them are young men struggling with a porn addiction.
After about 300 days I've broken my streak and felt like a dirt bag, but I've realised that this is not a competition this is a way of life and kept going! Thanks for making awesome videos Lucid.
The fact that you come on here to "update" says a lot about your character. Your growth as a person is inspirational. I hope this motivates the fellas out there that it's not about the goal or the number of days you abstain it's about the journey. It's a marathon not a sprint!
I needed this video, to understand and reinforce that my ''104 days streak'' is not what I should be celebrating, but the fact I changed a lot of stuff in my life through that. I am not constantly thinking about the streak, but still I don't like the fact that the number pops up once in a while in my day, it makes me believe I'm in some challenge when I am actually doing this as a lifestyle. I think I am not the only person with this idea, and if there's someone I only compare myself with is my old self.
I'm technically on day 5 too, but its so much more than that. It's an on and off switch in our brains - you either are or aren't addicted. when you aren't addicted you don't need to worry about any number, you just need to focus on the fact that you aren't reliant on a fantasy that doesn't exist and will never exist.
About 2 years or so ago I came across your videos on NoFap and I told my friend me and him should try to completely stay away from it to the highest extent we could, so we went on the journey there was quite a few times where I almost quit and after 400+ days I realized I really didn't have the problem that I had before I started, the whole point of me starting NoFap really was to overcome my addiction and I did so I decided to end my amazing streak that I slowly realized is just a number and I no longer had an addiction I'm not saying I went back to doing it all the time cause I wanted to, Although I have lost my streak I still am moderate about it and I've done so much better for myself and improved so much as a person so I'm so glad for your videos and I'm glad for Nofap ❣
I needed this video lucid. Stop counting. Forgive yourself and don't be too hard on yourself. Love yourself for being human and that humans make mistakes. Get yourself together and keep going. Look within and constantly remind yourself of why and what you are fighting. Stop consuming degenerate media as it will degenerate you
I have a counter on my phone but I dont care for the days. But I do like having it because I like to know how far I’ve come. I’ve never felt devastated from a relapse. It happens and we just go to move forward. Just like the crazy streak you had, you showed its possible. All my friends are about no fap and its so cool how honest we are about our streaks.

I used to have a severe pornography addiction before I found this channel. Lucid really changed my life and helped me to see how big of a problem pornography is in the modern world. I stopped watching porn entirely over a year ago and my life has been so much better since.

Moral of the story, quit porn, keep watching Lucid.

My longest streak was year and a half. Started nofap again because I found out I have an illness that is triggered by ejaculating. Every time I release, I immediately get bad depression and brain fog so now I plan to just give up releasing, but keeping my desensitized outlook on adult content

make "no fap" a lifestyle, something that you just simply dont do, you arent that person anymore. counting the days keeps you emotionally attained to it, basically making the numbers the way you feel, but when you finally let go of that, and just start living, not associating that feeling with your old habits. when that feeling arises, you dont associate it with that action, but you associate it as a normal feeling continuing with your day.
What I learnt about nofap is to not concentrate on the streak because the whole point of it is to get it out of your mind. Nofap streaks defeat the point because it will make you constantly think about it. and count the days when you shouldn't which will gaurentee a relapse. When you do so, think of it as a checkpoint, not a reset- that is my nofap advice!
Hamza has a great way of circumventing the streak problem, thinking about the goal of nofap being getting to the "golden point" which is the point where you forget that nofap exists because engaging in that stuff isnt even on your mind
Lucid you should be proud of how far you've come man. Some individuals can't get passed one week. It's extremely understandable. I just really hate how children are exposed to pornographic videos at such a young age. I didn't know about porn until it was introduced to me at like around 13 years old. Honestly there are siblings and other individuals who teach these young children about this type of content. It is honestly disturbing. I thank you for voicing your challenges Lucid Thank you.
This is why nobody can beat Alex, he’s the best… What’s crazy is that I lost a streak of around 300+ days recently too, so we’re in the same boat- W honesty/clarity
Lucid, I know we come from different faith backgrounds but I will still pray for you to my Lord Jesus Christ. “Lord, help Alex endure and overcome anything that comes his way. That these things may be done not by my will but by yours, and that this may be done through your strength flowing through him. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen. God be with you Lucid and keep moving forward. Thanks for all the help.
My advice for those who want to beat this addiction is to analyze their feelings while they are "doing it". Do you feel loneliness, a lack of affection, boredom, a lack of meaning in life? Eventually you have to realize that porn/pleasure is only an ILLUSION. Illusion that will never replace the reality which is love and true connection. Try to focus more on your soul, on your emotions.
this is crazy bro, just yesterday i was thinking about starting the journey to quit, i've been addicted to P for way to long and seeing u talking about its definitely a sign. i first found u around 50k subs and kinda stopped watching around 100K. i see u grown my boy happy for you almost at 900k congrats u deserve it.
Thank you so much man, this is exactly what I needed right now. For so long after constantly breaking my streaks, I've really have felt like human garbage. But now I understand that it's not about the numbers. There's no reset button that I accidentally pushed. Through every failure I've grown into a better person. I've never really reset myself, I've just kept moving forward and overcoming every hardship in my way. And this attitude is exactly what I need to be a successful entrepreneur in my life. Thank you man.
bro i get people say its healthy, but since i stopped (only a week in btw man) it feels great, you just feel happier. like yes, do it from time to time, maybe like once a week maybe once every two weeks? because that, that is healthy, but daily just isn't i stopped daily im so happy now
I’ve gone through a phase of reversion recently. I dislocated my elbow and used that as an excuse to stop going to the gym and start eating like shit. This video opened my eyes and I realised, I’m pitiful right now. Going back to the gym today and putting an end to this little two week falter of mine.
Hats off to you Alex. Humble enough to acknowledge you're fallible like we all are. But you don't give up on your progress even if u went one step backwards. I'm in the same struggle so very relatable. Keep up the struggle. God bless
I’ve noticed when lucid was talking about the egotistical aspect of the challenge and it seemed very true. Personally I’ve noticed that anything that we complete or accomplish in or our lives we seem to want to share with others to get attention or justification. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but we got watch ourselves when it comes to that stuff. Self awareness plays a big role when it comes to any decision or things you say. Think of it as a main character in a game that is 3rd person and you get to choose different scenarios. That’s enough rambling from me, i need some work also.
great job man, you finally said it, the count days = ego is facts there is no reason to stop, the fact that you still haven't quit thinking about how to not do it again is just a super progress than not even thinking about how to get rid of it, keep it going people, ain't no stupid pixels weakening us!
Semen is truly a mystical substance. It can be used to create life, and it cannot be artificially created. It's something truly divine. Keeping it in you makes you exceptional.
After being addicted for 10 years and struggling to give up for 4 of those years I have finally and confidently say I am finished with P and fapping. I'm something like 3 months clean and haven't counted days once in all of this. I'm just done with it and not obsessing over numbers. All the other millions of times I tried to quit I counted my streaks and would relapse and fall into a binge of catching up on all that I missed. I let myself get depressed and upset for weeks and months about it. I went to counselling and everything but at the end of the day the thing that really made me stop (and I know to some people its cringe) was God. I promised God I wod stop and take care of myself. I'm not telling people that's the only way to quit but just wanted to share how I done it. I've given up P and recently given up caffeine too, next is nic and I'm just constantly on this journey to take care of my mind soul and body. Thank you Lucid for your advice, experiences and amazing content over all these years you and other creators truly changed my life for the better, seriously alot of love💜
Quitting an addiction is kinda like lifting weights, at first you can’t lift it completely, but you keep trying and get stronger, and eventually lifting the weight becomes super easy. You just have to keep going.
I've been watching you for more than a yr. My first longest streak was 31 days and i remember edging took me off. I was like "i'll just take a peak at hornpub without relapsing" . You can tell how i completely under estimated the enemy i was trying to fight. I ended up relapsing for the next 2 months straight as if my body was trying to revenge that i had kept it 31 days porn free. Now i'm more than 3 month on nofap and just as you said, porn is like the cigarette. Releasing is not the issue, it's how it happens.
That’s why I stopped counting the days like a year ago, The amount of days you’re on don’t matter, cause it doesn’t take x amount of days for your addiction to go away, u can rid your addiction on day 0, if u solved the root problem. The real reward isn’t in how many days u abstain, it’s in not needing to even think about abstaining anymore
I ain't gon lie, at first I was doing Ng nofap to beat my addiction as i kept thinking about stopping myself from indulging in that. Porn is really bad for you and fucks up your mental health. It makes you anxious for no reason. Now, depending on your religious views, you can still have sex with women if you have a girlfriend. In person sex has a good effect on you and causes stress to decrease. Watching content on your screen is different. Imagine wasting your life energy to a girl on a screen who's been ran through more than the yellow light. Lucid, i stumbled across your content back in my senior year of high school and you are the person who's gotten me to improve myself, far more than I ever thought possible 💯💯.
Around 8-9 months ago I stopped hitting n1c. I broke the streak around last week because I was very stressed because of school, and family member death. But that isnt a excuse. After seeing this video it has givin me a slap in the face that said "Just because you hit it once doesn't mean its broken. Keep moving forward". Thank you lucid for this video it means a lot and it has gotten my brain outta the gutter.
I swear this mentality of "streak based" mindset has done more harm than watching p*rn. I relapse once and the guilt kicks in, the shame over takes me and I bury myself with binging sessions just to escape that guilt and shame. Three years Ive been like this and I got nowhwere in life cause I made the mistake of beating myself up over watching Corn. I forgive myself because like you said, the goal is to build a better life without being addicted. Atleast I kno what works now and what doesnt.
@@Sunkem1Not6Hacks day 58 nofap -Started hearing low frequencies -Started feeling small vibrations from other rooms of my house -Started moving small objects with my mind (small pennies, rings, beer caps) day 89 nofap -i can now rearrange my DNA -i can change the chemistry of my organism -i can talk to girls (my cousin) -i can levitate 10 cm from ground (although it makes my brain bleed a lot)
Thanks for pointing this out. No-fap has honestly lost its purpose. Too many guys, I’ll admit myself too, just use the day count as a way to flex on everybody else. It’s unhealthy and unproductive.
ill give you some tips: delete insta, if you see a channel or content with explicit content/pornography click on “do not recommend” and you won’t get this type of content anymore.
I’ve gotten to point where I control my addiction. It no longer controls me. I was able to stop due to the realization of not needing to do it anymore. It felt more like a waste of time and I had more important things to do. After that I longer had as strong urges as I did before. I was later able to control when I wanted to fap or not. I did the same thing with my video game addiction.
I am really glad you talked about this toxic perspective of streaks. You are not back to nothing once your streak has ended. The progress you have made remains.
Bro. I think im about to manifest something big. Yesterday I legit thought about if you "failed" NoFap. I do love and support what you stand for too. More people should be like that.
As a woman it's great to hear a man talk about how harmful porn is, as watching it is so normalised. Especially how it causes objectification of women. Keep it up :)
Ngl I'm not one to hate or spread negativity but this personally seems like he's relapsed and now is in denial saying hey number doesn't count if your not doing it anyway which I understand but common man in sha Allah your alright
That's not at all the point of the video lol, that wasn't the expression that Lucid was trying to present. He wasn't saying the number doesn't count, he's saying not to worry so much about the days, or that streak and instead to just make progress
@@sudonara I might have put it in a confusing way but what I mean is would he be saying this if he didn't relapse, in my opinion no therefore he's lost his massive streak he's now saying not to worry as much about days but anyway I'm not trying to argue just felt strongly about this video but hey it is what it is if we both are still a fan of lucid does it really matter
Im currently on day 300 of No Fap the benefits are real, If you do relapse don't think of it as resetting your progress think of it as another chance to gain more progress and the days between you starting and failing is the amount of time you have succeeded in doing so

Around three and a half years ago was the day I put an end to my addiction. Me realising what destructive effects it had on me, coupled with Lucid’s words of courage was enough for me to put an end to it.
I have seen this man grow like a flourishing flower throughout this entire time. He has improved, matured and learned from his mistakes just like I, and the majority of us have in our conquest for mental discipline and freedom.
Although I am saddened to hear that he had a lapse of judgement, I can assure you he is the exact same man he has worked himself up to. Right now I don’t see the lucid of three years ago. I see a man who has improved so much that he is capable of owning up to his mistake in a heartbeat. Which is something I, and many of us might have hesitated to do.
In such a short time this man lost one petal, and grew his roots twice over.

make "no fap" a lifestyle, something that you just simply dont do, you arent that person anymore. counting the days keeps you emotionally attained to it, basically making the numbers the way you feel, but when you finally let go of that, and just start living, not associating that feeling with your old habits. when that feeling arises, you dont associate it with that action, but you associate it as a normal feeling continuing with your day.

Thanks for this chat. This my Day 1.
What I learnt about nofap is to not concentrate on the streak because the whole point of it is to get it out of your mind. Nofap streaks defeat the point because it will make you constantly think about it. and count the days when you shouldn't which will gaurentee a relapse. When you do so, think of it as a checkpoint, not a reset- that is my nofap advice!
Hamza has a great way of circumventing the streak problem, thinking about the goal of nofap being getting to the "golden point" which is the point where you forget that nofap exists because engaging in that stuff isnt even on your mind
No matter whats going on, i hope you are doing well my homie
Lucid you should be proud of how far you've come man. Some individuals can't get passed one week. It's extremely understandable. I just really hate how children are exposed to pornographic videos at such a young age. I didn't know about porn until it was introduced to me at like around 13 years old. Honestly there are siblings and other individuals who teach these young children about this type of content. It is honestly disturbing. I thank you for voicing your challenges Lucid Thank you.
valuable advice. if you break it once, stay disciplined, don't keep relapsing because its gonna make it worse
This is why nobody can beat Alex, he’s the best… What’s crazy is that I lost a streak of around 300+ days recently too, so we’re in the same boat-
W honesty/clarity
I am glad you are honest about it bro
Lucid, I know we come from different faith backgrounds but I will still pray for you to my Lord Jesus Christ.
“Lord, help Alex endure and overcome anything that comes his way. That these things may be done not by my will but by yours, and that this may be done through your strength flowing through him. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen.
God be with you Lucid and keep moving forward. Thanks for all the help.
im really proud of my self at day 4
i deleted all +18 videos and photos
and my life really changed thank you so. much for the advice
Never thought I’d see the day lucid would break the streak💀
Great vid.
This was uploaded a year ago
its good man, We appreciate the authenticity. Keep it moving forward. its a long battle.
someone said its a deep fake 💀
My advice for those who want to beat this addiction is to analyze their feelings while they are "doing it". Do you feel loneliness, a lack of affection, boredom, a lack of meaning in life? Eventually you have to realize that porn/pleasure is only an ILLUSION. Illusion that will never replace the reality which is love and true connection.
Try to focus more on your soul, on your emotions.
all facts!!! 🗣
purpose over pleasure.
It’s not about a streak. It’s about the percentages. It’s how often you do it.
this is crazy bro, just yesterday i was thinking about starting the journey to quit, i've been addicted to P for way to long and seeing u talking about its definitely a sign. i first found u around 50k subs and kinda stopped watching around 100K. i see u grown my boy happy for you almost at 900k congrats u deserve it.
You saved me from a relapse. God bless you again
Even if you did, after this video you would get back up and keep moving forward becuase it didint reset everything
Thank you so much man, this is exactly what I needed right now. For so long after constantly breaking my streaks, I've really have felt like human garbage. But now I understand that it's not about the numbers. There's no reset button that I accidentally pushed. Through every failure I've grown into a better person. I've never really reset myself, I've just kept moving forward and overcoming every hardship in my way. And this attitude is exactly what I need to be a successful entrepreneur in my life. Thank you man.
Dont say your "Trying to quit" Just say "You don't do it" This will affect your mind in a positive way, I Love all yall homies
❤❤❤🙏
bro i get people say its healthy, but since i stopped (only a week in btw man) it feels great, you just feel happier. like yes, do it from time to time, maybe like once a week maybe once every two weeks? because that, that is healthy, but daily just isn't i stopped daily im so happy now
😂
I’ve gone through a phase of reversion recently. I dislocated my elbow and used that as an excuse to stop going to the gym and start eating like shit. This video opened my eyes and I realised, I’m pitiful right now. Going back to the gym today and putting an end to this little two week falter of mine.
Sad man it’s alright bro we all go though this

May Allah Sub'hanahu Wa Ta'ala bless you my bro with endless goodness of Dunya and Akhirah ♥
nofap is the way to go for sure💪🏽

Hats off to you Alex. Humble enough to acknowledge you're fallible like we all are. But you don't give up on your progress even if u went one step backwards. I'm in the same struggle so very relatable. Keep up the struggle. God bless
bro u made me start this. u changed my life bro.
I’ve noticed when lucid was talking about the egotistical aspect of the challenge and it seemed very true. Personally I’ve noticed that anything that we complete or accomplish in or our lives we seem to want to share with others to get attention or justification. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but we got watch ourselves when it comes to that stuff. Self awareness plays a big role when it comes to any decision or things you say. Think of it as a main character in a game that is 3rd person and you get to choose different scenarios. That’s enough rambling from me, i need some work also.
great job man, you finally said it, the count days = ego is facts
there is no reason to stop, the fact that you still haven't quit thinking about how to not do it again is just a super progress than not even thinking about how to get rid of it, keep it going people, ain't no stupid pixels weakening us!
Alex you've been a big inspiration in my life. I remember watching your day 300 video and also your advice on life and NoFap.
I feel encouraged to restart again
You were there for us we are here for you ❤️😌
Semen is truly a mystical substance. It can be used to create life, and it cannot be artificially created. It's something truly divine. Keeping it in you makes you exceptional.
After being addicted for 10 years and struggling to give up for 4 of those years I have finally and confidently say I am finished with P and fapping. I'm something like 3 months clean and haven't counted days once in all of this. I'm just done with it and not obsessing over numbers. All the other millions of times I tried to quit I counted my streaks and would relapse and fall into a binge of catching up on all that I missed. I let myself get depressed and upset for weeks and months about it. I went to counselling and everything but at the end of the day the thing that really made me stop (and I know to some people its cringe) was God. I promised God I wod stop and take care of myself. I'm not telling people that's the only way to quit but just wanted to share how I done it. I've given up P and recently given up caffeine too, next is nic and I'm just constantly on this journey to take care of my mind soul and body. Thank you Lucid for your advice, experiences and amazing content over all these years you and other creators truly changed my life for the better, seriously alot of love💜
Quitting an addiction is kinda like lifting weights, at first you can’t lift it completely, but you keep trying and get stronger, and eventually lifting the weight becomes super easy. You just have to keep going.
I've been watching you for more than a yr. My first longest streak was 31 days and i remember edging took me off. I was like "i'll just take a peak at hornpub without relapsing" . You can tell how i completely under estimated the enemy i was trying to fight. I ended up relapsing for the next 2 months straight as if my body was trying to revenge that i had kept it 31 days porn free. Now i'm more than 3 month on nofap and just as you said, porn is like the cigarette. Releasing is not the issue, it's how it happens.
That's a crazy title. Never thought I'd see this
I am glad that you have brought this to light. ❤ Thank you
That’s why I stopped counting the days like a year ago, The amount of days you’re on don’t matter, cause it doesn’t take x amount of days for your addiction to go away, u can rid your addiction on day 0, if u solved the root problem. The real reward isn’t in how many days u abstain, it’s in not needing to even think about abstaining anymore
This video like someone who quit smoking once said every time they smoked again it was just another lesson that they had to learn.
I ain't gon lie, at first I was doing Ng nofap to beat my addiction as i kept thinking about stopping myself from indulging in that. Porn is really bad for you and fucks up your mental health. It makes you anxious for no reason. Now, depending on your religious views, you can still have sex with women if you have a girlfriend. In person sex has a good effect on you and causes stress to decrease. Watching content on your screen is different. Imagine wasting your life energy to a girl on a screen who's been ran through more than the yellow light. Lucid, i stumbled across your content back in my senior year of high school and you are the person who's gotten me to improve myself, far more than I ever thought possible 💯💯.
Around 8-9 months ago I stopped hitting n1c. I broke the streak around last week because I was very stressed because of school, and family member death. But that isnt a excuse. After seeing this video it has givin me a slap in the face that said "Just because you hit it once doesn't mean its broken. Keep moving forward". Thank you lucid for this video it means a lot and it has gotten my brain outta the gutter.
I swear this mentality of "streak based" mindset has done more harm than watching p*rn. I relapse once and the guilt kicks in, the shame over takes me and I bury myself with binging sessions just to escape that guilt and shame. Three years Ive been like this and I got nowhwere in life cause I made the mistake of beating myself up over watching Corn. I forgive myself because like you said, the goal is to build a better life without being addicted. Atleast I kno what works now and what doesnt.
I lost my streak of 240, it was really bad, it was connected with a sin that I committed. Unfortunate, but we are human beings, we sin.
May Allah forgive you

This is no longer a streak , it’s a life style

Thanks for pointing this out. No-fap has honestly lost its purpose. Too many guys, I’ll admit myself too, just use the day count as a way to flex on everybody else. It’s unhealthy and unproductive.
Man I relapsed 2 days ago...this gave me some motivation again and get back to studies properly.
ill give you some tips: delete insta, if you see a channel or content with explicit content/pornography click on “do not recommend” and you won’t get this type of content anymore.

@@pure_conpollo727 worked for me tho, havent gotten content with body revealing pics since 2 months ago
@@drakewasaloverboy I don't have any social media apart from yt and watsapp...still I am relapsing maybe due to stress from studies
On day 21 and I feel so much more social and I get more attention from girls and respect from guys. Stay strong bro and change for the better
I’ve gotten to point where I control my addiction. It no longer controls me. I was able to stop due to the realization of not needing to do it anymore. It felt more like a waste of time and I had more important things to do. After that I longer had as strong urges as I did before. I was later able to control when I wanted to fap or not. I did the same thing with my video game addiction.
I am really glad you talked about this toxic perspective of streaks. You are not back to nothing once your streak has ended. The progress you have made remains.
Hey lucid I’m realizing that I don’t need to cap but I use it as my excuse to not do drugs and it has help me stay clean in life
BRO LOST THE STREAK?!?!!? CANT HAVE SHIT IN DETROIT!!!😡😡😡
Grow up kid

Failure is a common thing for us love you lucid
Bro. I think im about to manifest something big.
Yesterday I legit thought about if you "failed" NoFap.
I do love and support what you stand for too.
More people should be like that.
I have too many types of thoughts like that that coincidentally end up happening

As a woman it's great to hear a man talk about how harmful porn is, as watching it is so normalised. Especially how it causes objectification of women. Keep it up :)
We’ve all been there brother
Ngl I'm not one to hate or spread negativity but this personally seems like he's relapsed and now is in denial saying hey number doesn't count if your not doing it anyway which I understand but common man in sha Allah your alright
Me too (no hate to lucid)
@@Remembrs fr
That's not at all the point of the video lol, that wasn't the expression that Lucid was trying to present. He wasn't saying the number doesn't count, he's saying not to worry so much about the days, or that streak and instead to just make progress
@@sudonara I might have put it in a confusing way but what I mean is would he be saying this if he didn't relapse, in my opinion no therefore he's lost his massive streak he's now saying not to worry as much about days but anyway I'm not trying to argue just felt strongly about this video but hey it is what it is if we both are still a fan of lucid does it really matter
Im currently on day 300 of No Fap the benefits are real, If you do relapse don't think of it as resetting your progress think of it as another chance to gain more progress and the days between you starting and failing is the amount of time you have succeeded in doing so
tell me the benefits then
