I'm on Day 5 and this series is lining up with my journey perfectly, Let's do this!!

[@JustinJackson-hp1wt]

Just hit day 5! Hope ur still going strong!

[@bradwilce8354]

I’m on day 26 and getting brain fog, headache, lack of energy and feeling tired past couple days ! I will endure through this ! 💪

[@lionzhaven]

Take vitamins and drink lots of water ..lite workouts

[@Jiyu77]

Day 11 relapsed. Trigger was alcohol. Feel worsed today. Took some zink went to the gym. Ready to go for it again! Greets from Holland Koen. Needed this video. Thank you. For the rest on this journey. I salute you!

[@massimhr5225]

You got this bro 😉

[@thealignedmen]

Thank you brother 🙏 Salute back

@@massimhr5225 thanks bro. We got this. 👊

[@spocktiberius2456]

The key for me was my relationship with God. I struggled with lust, masturbation, porn, etc for most of my adult life. When I asked myself who would want me to continue with this sort of behavior, Satan or God, it was clear that Satan would want me to do these things. I could then no longer justify it. Once I got in agreement with God on the subject, it was easy to overcome it. It was like the desire to engage in the behaviors just left me as if a demon was forced to leave my body. Get right with God. Ask the Holy Spirit to reside in you. He will help you fight your battles both internal and external. Once you overcome this stronghold, your life will become more enjoyable, as you will have more time, energy and resources to pursue other things of interest with found zeal and passion. You can do this.

Bro I’m in relapsed phase 😢.. but this time I will come back stronger 💪

[@thealignedmen]

you got this!

[@starman715]

You're not alone brother, we walk together towards our goal. We get knocked down, but we get back up again

[@1Sparda1_]

It happens. Just remember this day when you get an urge to relapse on your streak.

[@RichDBucko]

Im so locked

[@TyroneEvans-rx3ds]

Indeed... Stay strong bro

[@ClydeCyrus]

I’m on day 9 🏅 just slept like 10-12 hours but I’m in college so I also smoke a lot of weed and it makes me lethargic but it’s better than being lethargic from fap

[@inrptn]

Great message Koen! This really made me think of how different the SR journey is now vs. 5 years ago when I started. Had multiple triple digit streaks, but am by no means a master of this and I've relapsed loads (no pun intended) of times, too. It's just interesting thinking about how my relationship to myself and to the world has changed in these 5 years. It's very, very different, but at the same time, an urge is an urge, and traps and complacency are always lurking, don't matter how long you been doing this. The number one thing I've learned in these 5 years is that a relationship / connection with God is by far the most important thing you can achieve on this journey. Secondly, I'd say that whatever a person might think is impossible, especially when you are new to this journey, is definitely not impossible.

[@thealignedmen]

There is no higher fulfillment than god, thanks for the input brother 🙏

[@visheshshory9462]

I’m on day 5. I got an internal call within my body about 5 days ago that told me to do this. I’m really impressed with your videos.

[@thealignedmen]

Thank you brother, appreciate it!

[@eddiediesel9035]

I'm on day 9 and I have had really strong urges to relapse today.Thanks Koen for posting this video I needed it, it has helped me stay strong. I'm looking forward to the next phase.

[@thealignedmen]

Blessed to hear this 🙏

Whenever I see a vid of this topic I open it and hit the like button, couse this stuff does magic. Inositol is also great!

Outstanding! Time to fkn get it SR warriors! Let's goooooo

[@DanMorgan-bh5fv]

I'm in this phase now. Thanks for sharing.

[@thealignedmen]

Happy to hear it helped

[@Silver-fh4fb]

Excellent advice

[@thealignedmen]

Thank you brother 🙏

[@MikeV8652]

In my experience, if I could go unfapped past day 10, I could go on to between three and four weeks without too much difficulty. Past some certain point, if definitely becomes easier. One guy said that it's hard to do in the beginning, because you're not used to living without releasing; but it later becomes as normal and natural as putting on your shoes. The truth is that seminal release is necessary only for procreation. Otherwise, it's nothing but optional entertainment, and there's amazing value in opting out.

[@Tony_Anthemz]

Day 6

[@esco2231]

Thank you for your knowledge on this, you maybe younger than me but so far after a few videos I've seen I can honestly say that I've learned a lot from you. Again thank you I appreciate you

[@thealignedmen]

Appreciate you brother 🙏 💙

[@Remember-Death]

I'm at the *"Women-Are-Mad-At-Me-Because-I'm-Ignoring-Them"* phase. 😂 Women at my gym and at work are beginning to orbit around me, even going so far as to ask other people about me. My strong and silent energy has the ladies very intrigued. I'm just staying focused and retaining.

[@GreenBaySucks]

Around what day are you? I don’t necessarily believe in the whole “at specific day, X happens” but just curious

[@MikeV8652]

That's the way to do it! Women tend to want what they know they can't have.

[@Remember-Death]

@@GreenBaySucks The answer is a little tricky and not as clear cut: I did 101 days, then purposely had two "maintenance orgasms" just to tone down the energy. And now I'm at Day 28, headed towards another 100 Day streak. So *technically* I'm at Day 28, but I still maintained most of the benefits from my previous 100 Day streak.

[@AnujPatidar-dm8yi]

​@@GreenBaySucksdon't count days, it's good for beginning but than nah

[@akorepanov]

Day14, very big day so far. Any specifics for days 15-30?

happy to hear that!

[@Vapaaari]

Bring in the next one asap

[@Juliobalthazar]

Day 9 right now, incredibly productive but when I relax I get very h*rny.

[@MikeV8652]

At those horny times, I used to tell myself "You'd better enjoy this feeling, because this the closest thing to a release that you're going to feel for an awfully long time." It was, too! If you learn to interpret your horny urges as energy and excitement for life, you can redirect it to other things in life.

[@Softman264]

The 2nd month was kind of tough for me.... Maybe I'm not used to having all that energy. I felt uncomfortable and relapsed.

[@orangutantitties5208]

Today is my 10th day I had really strong urges all day yesterday and it actually fucked with my sleep last night but I made it thru

Not at all! It's serious business, but it can be done. Once you've done this, nothing else will ever be as hard.

So true man. I been addicted to this nonsense for god knows how long

Im on day 10. Pls make next phase video soon😊

[@thealignedmen]

dropping in a few hours!

[@chasetrix2432]

The urges are insane I feel like a teenager right now haha! I am on day 17 I feel in control but like I am a loaded gun with an itchy trigger finger 😂

[@spocktiberius2456]

Give your body a chance to adjust to your new normal. It will. Once it does, the urges will dissipate. In the mean time, take a break from dating and develop your relationship with God for the Devil wants you to continue in lust in direct defiance to God’s decree that sex is for marriage (under God, not the state with its legally sanctioned license to screw you over in the event of divorce). Once you’ve mastered your body and develop a take it or leave it attitude, you’ll be able to overcome all forms addiction in whatever form the Devil throws at you. You can do this.

[@Vapaaari]

I get no urges within first two weeks, probably because i don’t use social media and easypeasy, but anyway

[@bjornchh]

Excellent stuff. But do you think that these phases tend to drag out a bit more in time as you get older? I know people my age (60-ish) so deprived of good health, they hardly have any sexdrive at all. Fap is a much bigger challenge than no-fap. So for my age group we would have to actively pursue testosterone boosting activities (cold showers, low sugar diet etc) and experience a better health than average, to actually experience the effects you mention.

[@thealignedmen]

yes, these things are important for any age group

[@lionzhaven]

Algorithm timing on point

[@Divyv520]

Hey Koen , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

[@renopotgieter4329]

After 47 days... I couldn't believe that it actually happened. I'm disappointed, feel like shit but not going to give up.

[@MikeV8652]

Wash your hands and begin a new streak immediately. It's not the end of the world, only the end of the street. Turn the corner and keep going. You didn't lose nearly all of your progress.

[@StatistikaInfo]

dude, if after 47 you enjoyed yourself it's absolutely ok. you're not on day 0, you are on day 30 or 35. It's a cumulative effect, not something that you lose completely in one shot.

[@jonathankalyniuk7017]

Day 5 again tomorrow.

[@Chicanolosopher]

I’m on my fifth day, I notice my dreams are getting more like towards girls, Idk what it is, and another thing i notice when I sleep I keep waking up with my corn pumped, It’s like my corn wants it but I’m not letting it happen, I’m on a 30day mission 💪🏽

[@dennisochieng9774]

Man, I'm on day 104 today but nothing much like luck, female attraction, or improved finances. The only visible thing is more energy to hit the gym. What might I be doing wrong?

[@chasetrix2432]

Your energy and focus. Perhaps take the energy to yourself and hype yourself up. Essentially have a relationship with you as in compliments and just overall boosting your confidence. By default people around you will notice your high aura and energy. Hope this makes sense

[@Remember-Death]

I have a few questions: 1. Are you meditating? 2. Have you written out your goals and the game-plan to attack them? 3. Are you doing anything to move the energy out of the groin area and up your spine? 4. Have you completely *stopped looking* at p0rn? (No peeking allowed!) 5. Can you look at a beautiful woman without having lustful thoughts? 6. Do you have any drinking/drug problems that might be cancelling-out your progress? I find it hard to believe that someone who made it to day 104 *ONLY* experienced "more energy to hit the gym." There is something going on in your life that is negating your higher vibration. And only you know what that is.

[@dennisochieng9774]

@@Remember-Death I perform almost 95% of your list, apart from number 3, I'm not sure how. I drink two bottles of beer on Sundays alone.

[@Remember-Death]

@@dennisochieng9774 Regarding #3 - On KZbin, search for "Pineal Gland Breathing Exercise" or "The Microcosmic Orbit." These are easy exercises to get you started so your sexual energy isn't trapped in your lower chakras.
