assalamu alaykum everyone!
I am 3 days into my NoFap journey and today I really understood the value in lowering your gaze. For reference, I am 20 and have had a big porn problem since I was 13 but I am trying to change that this summer. Today i went to the gym and already knew this was a place filled with triggers. I practiced lowering my gaze for the entire workout, only looking up to find the machines and made my workout quick. Honestly, through these last 3 days it’s shown me how important it is to practice this teaching. especially for men like myself who have weaker self control and living in a society where there will be more revealing outfits, I should try my best to limit my sign and practice my self control. Don’t get me wrong, I still occasionally get impure thoughts just from a glance, but putting into action gaze lowering is a vital way to avoid them. I hope you all also have the strength to stay on track and Jazakallah for reading!
