New member...where to begin?!

Hi Starlet, I just started on Nofap too. I've been flooding my brain with anti-porn content and that has really seemed to help. Try going to yourbrainonporn.com, there's some really good information on there. Also, I've been doing meditation. That's really seemed to help too. Good luck and hang in there! We can do this!

 

You're welcome! Thanks and continue to hang in there! We're all in this together!

 

Hi. Get an accountability partner ASAP. That helps me so much. It will be well worth it to you.

 

Today, I suffered: I was bored, I felt the reason for why people seek salvationout of porn or other compulsive activities. It'sbecause they can't deal with reality, with themselvesbeing in the present moment all by them selves. They're always seeking, looking forsomething outside, giving into short-lived pleasure andlosing it, stand there with less then before.

But once you say yes to boredom, yes to being present, yes to surrender, you'll experience something way better: your inner power.That's why I see boredom and unease as an opportunity to deal with instead of something to quickly overcome.
And me and my wife are on day 52 we're doing this together we're going for a hundred and twenty days I remember don't let the 1% of your body control the 99% of you and your decisions an orgasm is a decision not a choice

 

Hey starlet do one thing, get a good software to help you, the kind that emails all your internet activity to someone, get a trusted friend to do that ,you will abstain from doing such things because all your activity data will be seen and you wouldn't want that,one more thing on weekends go out hit the gym do much outdoor activity and most importantly do not fantasize and look or do things that will trigger you , take cold showers ,you'll be good to go,good luck

 

Hi Starlet, it's a significant step forward you've taken by becoming part of this community, so be encouraged. One aspect of your story I relate to is getting out running - I started quite recently and just did my first marathon!

As others may have said, connecting with one or two people as 'accountability partners' is a great idea. I also find that taking time to read newcomers' and other members' stories, and doing my best to encourage them, really has a positive impact on my willpower. When you read story after story of the trainwreck that is PMO, and are able to relate to so many aspects of other people's journeys, it gradually turns the tide of your own persuasion levels that PMO just isn't worth it.

Godspeed!
