I don't believe in chance, I believe everything happens for a reason. A couple of days ago, I peed and a few drops of semen followed. I panicked thinking my tubes got messed up. I then searched for an answer on Google (because Google is the God of Internet, lol) and landed on this forum. I'm a fellow recovering addict, not that recent but still recovering! I'm now supported by people who understand the struggle and I've helped several others. Talking about it, whether it's about me or someone else, really does help. I find myself more excited to come online and chat instead of PMO. What a blessing that I found this place! Anybody else stumbled onto this forum accidentally?
I always felt terrible about PMO, but still ended up doing it. I heard about NoFap originally in a twitch chat while watching a video game stream.
Learned about nofap from TRP and various far right websites. Took me a year (and an interview where Tori Black went on at length about how batshit she is) before I actually decided to quit porn.
Interesting how life throws help in our direction, especially when we're in dire need. Glad we all made it here!
Beat this. I found this site through a well-known pickup site. I joined 'pick up' as I realised I had to get that area of my life [woman] finally sorted out. Part of that process involved self-development, which is really the best part of it. Part of that was about abstinence helping you with a healthier approach to woman... if that makes sense. A few posters referred to this site, so I came here. I no longer post there. I think it's something you learn, and then outgrow.
Yep, but have a few potential candidates in the wings. Just now met a girl in Starbucks, had a great chat, and got the number.
Believe it or not, I ended up here thanks to a comment on a porn site and stumbling upon here made me realize how porn has messed up my mind.. I owe a lot to you, Porn Guy.
Last year, I was really bummed and kinda scared about how much control and how much of my life I'd given over to porn. So I turned to the search engine for answers, and that's how I found NoFap and Your Brain on Porn, and they resonated with me. I remained hesitant about joining the community here for some time, but, after spending a little too much time with the porn this week and seeing my obsessive compulsive porn habits start to sink back in, I have ultimately decided that it's something I've needed to do.
