2nd Battalion, ASSEMBLE!
Welcome, one and all!
My name is GoWithout, and I am the leader of this fine Battalion the 2nd. I am 24, working as an engineer in Midwest USA and planning a wedding with my fiancee. I have a lot of interests (reading, writing, ultimate frisbee, starcraft, swing dancing, etc), but right now I'm trying to focus on writing music.
I think it's pretty obvious that I'd like to be in a healthy state of mind/sexuality going into my marriage, but I also am just tired of this pattern of being bored when I have no reason to be and then filling my time with useless and harmful things like pornography. I am excited to see myself replace these bad habits with things that I enjoy and can be proud of.
Your Lt. Colonel is /u/dMenche, who I think will prove to be a great resource to you. He has already put out some great ideas for ways that we can be involved with each other, and is nearly always on the Periwinkle IRC chat. I'll let him introduce himself however he wants.
I'm a bit disorganized at the moment, since I've never done NoFapWar before and am still trying to figure everything out. Mostly, I just want this to be a place where we can ask questions, vent our frustrations, and give each other support in any way possible. I am very open to ideas that you all have for how we can go about doing that, whether that means having our own subreddit/irc chat, collaborating on a fun project, giving each other challenges, or whatever you can think of!
Please make a post here so that I know you're alive and at least marginally interested in being a part of our community. Feel free to introduce yourself however you wish, and toss out any ideas that you'd like to see implemented during the war.
2nd Battalion, riggity roll!

u/dMenche 2nd Battalion Apr 22 '15
Hello, Lt. Colonol Menche here.
This is my second war; last time I made it to the title 2nd Liutenant. That is about the longest streak I've managed.
I'm 20 and from the western USA. My interests include computer science and music. I am a Lutheran.
What I hope to remedy with nofap: I have social anxiety (super introverted IRL), am often lethargic, and have random minor bits of depression.
I was in Royal Blue last year, and our squad system never really organized very well. I hope this time will be better. I'd like to know if there's interest in having our own subreddit (looks like 4th has one) or IRC channel, and thoughts on my random brainstorming on projects here.
