Please help

The following list are tools and resources to help fight this addiction:


- Go to weekly SA meetings and find a sponsor there. To find one near you, go to https://www.sa.org/meetings/

- Do an internet search for CSAT office in your area (Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist)

- Find an accountability partner if you don't already have one. Many are available here on NoFap.

- Look for help online; There are sexual addiction recovery books, workbooks, self-help books, Youtube videos and MANY other things to help.

- Start a journal about your recovery. On NoFap, somewhere else online, in a word document offline, or even with pen and paper.

- Obtain a copy of the book used by the members of SA meetings, which is commonly referred to as “the white book” which can be purchased here: https://www.sa.org/store/product_info.php?products_id=32

- Put safeguards in place to help you stay sober. Think of your weaknesses and eliminate them.

- Do you take your phone (or any other device) into the bathroom with you and relapse because of it? Then make a rule to never take any electronic device into the bathroom with you, ever. NO EXCEPTIONS.


- Do you read erotic literature and relapse because of it? Make a rule to never read anything that could ever be found in that section of any bookstore ever.


- If you struggle with looking at internet porn or any other addictive material on the internet, get an internet filter to block that category type of website as well as any specific site you know you’re vulnerable to and give someone else the password to it. (Spouse, partner, AP, sponsor, etc.) Obviously, you should not have the password.

Benefits of No PMO

1. No social anxiety; 99% of time relaxed, calm, cool; easy to be sociable. If I do start to get nervous I think, "What do I have to be fearful about?" And I get calm in about 1-2 seconds.
2. More attention from opposite gender -- without trying
3. No brain fog; can concentrate easily. Can think clearer under pressure.
4. Increased motivation & energy to get things done.
5. More Stamina -- can hang in their longer at work (be tough) and complete projects; can work overtime, while others can't
6. No fears; high levels of testosterone = strength and don't take bs. (No one has messed with me in 52 days +.)
7. More time for good/productive things. Not wasting time going to phony porn sites; fapping to pixels; lusting, etc.
8. The opposite gender increasingly becomes less and less of a priority.
9. Improved Confidence -- (online comment) "porn and masturbation lowers your self-esteem and confidence"
10. More Respectable -- (online comment) "if you resist the urge to masturbate -- a practice that is generally condemned -- you are likely to feel more respect for yourself; and others will respect you more." We all can quickly tell if a man or woman is fapping ... nervous ... weak … fearful … has shame [trying to hide something] …
11. Improved Creativity and Resourcefulness

*Somedays are so-so … and some are difficult due to "flat line". But your daily progress is motivating and inspiring to you & others.
