Whether it was in my studies, friendships, relationships, etc. I was simply not “active”. I wasn’t present. Now, I had known about nofap for awhile but I […]

You’ve no idea how many times I failed. I tried to stop it for 10000 times. But I failed miserably. I failed in my MBA, I lost my friends, and I lost my job, no social contacts. I tried to commit suicide 4 years ago, it also failed. I was a loser. I didn’t achieve […]
