Yesterday I had drinks with an actual model. The hot kind of model too. And with brains to match. It all went great. We talked for hours, had a really good time and eventually went back to my place. It's not like nofap made it happen for me on its own but there are some things I know for sure.

Firstly, this is my second longest streak since a couple of years. Maybe ever. I do have a hard time giving pmo up but these things are a big carrot for me. My last streak I hooked up with the first perfect 10 of my life. She was an amazing girl and we had a wonderful relationship for 3 years until she got new meds and changed dramatically for the worse. Watch out for SSRI/SNRI guys, they can and do alter the very essence of people. Anyway, I digress.

Secondly, a mere 10 days ago I was feeling beaten af from the breakup. Lonely and lacking in energy and self confidence. No prospects datingwise and no purpose at all. The chain of events leading up to yesterday would never in a million years have happened if it wasn't for nofap. I work in retail and my social skills are tested every day, and has increased dramatically with each day since. It never fails to amaze me how tangible the difference is.

Naturally I don't feel too energized today, but I do feel I am a changed man already, although I realize I am not out of the woods yet. Since I started I have been doing productive or social things nonstop, something I always strive to do but always seem to fall very, very short of in recent years.

I believe the discussion about superpowers is overly semantic. I am absolutely convinced it gives me both the energy and the... guts, for lack of a better word, to be who I really am, and want to be. Of course it doesn't just take the wheel and drive you there, but it gives you the means, the car that can get you there. That, for sure, is a superpower for me, having struggled with it all my adult life.
