This is my first day, I just created the account.I hope I can change myself over the following months to come by.I am keeping a small target of 1 week if I get over it I'll double it.Peace
@HarryReady , Hey and welcome to NoFap. You have found the right place. pmo (porn, masturbation, orgasm) creates a false world in which the brain gets sex too easy. Then, when real life sex happens it often can't compete with all the perfect images from online porn. Seven days to start is a good goal. For me, I've been doing it one day at a time. Setting numbers makes it seem so difficult. But, I can not pmo today and I don't plan on pmo tomorrow. If you have not downloaded the free "Getting Started with NoFap" guide from the home page then get it. It is a great free .pdf file the explains so much. Then, watch this video. There is so much to know about the way pmo can destroy your brain and your body -not to mention your spirit: Lastly start writing journal threads. The journals are in the forum and are listed by age. Keep coming back and let us know how you are doing. I think of NoFap like a flock of sheep. Stay in the middle of the flock not on the edge. The wolf gets the sheep on the edge. Looking forward to seeing you around, L

Thank you for the support guys.Still going strong.Doing some online courses and not getting deviated from studies.NO PMO till now.All good vibes here. It's been 6 DAYS and this thing is not getting updated.
@HarryReady , Congrats on the 6 days. At the top of the page is a link that says "Update Day Counter". It's in the black bar. Try that. If that doesn't work, ask in the Technical Support forum. Keep coming back. Let us know not only how you are doing, but how you are doing it. L
Welcome to the forum. Glad to see you are making such progress. Hope to see more of you as time comes
okay, somebody is asking me how I am doing it (abstaining from PMO) here it is, most of the time I hang out with my friends, sometimes I play outdoor games(badminton) with them, If I have to study online then I'll download all the material required and switch off WiFi so that I will not get distracted.I ate a lot of chocolate, don't know whether it works for you or not.The day I got more feeling to watch porn I just downloaded Wolverine PC game and played for 12 hrs straight and finished it, it acted like a vent to all my porn feelings and never thought about it for a considerate amount of time.And one final thing coming here and writing stuff about how I feel is making me feel even better.Thank you for the support.
Proud of you buddy! Great suggestions...great to see you using this site and the connections to keep yourself in check.
@HarryReady , Thanks for the update. I really like reading not only how people are doing but how they are doing it. Your honesty is helping all of us. L
Wow, Thanks for all the kind replies.I came home recently there are no friends to hang out.It is going to be tough but I like challenges.I am challenging my self to stop doing anything related to PMO.Bye bros.
I am getting a strong urge to watch something silly but reminding myself that porn is fake, women in porn are not real, they are doing it because of huge money that is offered to them.By watching that fake shit we are getting nothing and wasting resources.It's been 12 days without PMO, getting distracted by playing online games(guns of boom, war robots).its hard without PMO, but still going well.
Keep pushing through buddy! Keep reminding yourself of these facts because they are 100% true! There are so much more out in the world outside of the porn industry. Thought provoking, beautiful, talented people just like you!!
@HarryReady , My experience is the only porn I have to avoid is the first one. That first video or image. Because, once I watch the first one, I'm going to want to watch them all. There is no end to the Internet. If there were, I would have reached it long ago. So, my strength comes from admitting I'm powerless over this porn crap online. I can't even watch one. Glad you are coming back and keeping us up to date. L
Exactly the problem most people have, I think. Even with psubs, it leads down the rabbit-hole eventually. Don't circle the drain, stay awake and do something productive Glad you're here @HarryReady - why not go ahead and start a journal in the 20-24 group? Keep it up there and figure out what will make you successful. Keep going and you hit 1 week very soon, which will be awesome!
