    Hi there,

    I'm almost 20 and have struggled with an addiction to pornography for about 8 years. As a follow of Jesus for a little over 6 six years, I've always wanted to be free from this bondage. I have gone periods (never more than 36 days) of staying clean. I think in the past I've always tried to muscle through it, from only one or two angles.

    I've recently began seeing a counselor for this (and other life issues) and I'm trying hard to really make sobriety a priority. I stumbled upon the NoFap subreddit and of course was intrigued. After reading a lot of information on the NoFap website I feel really encouraged and challenged to take a more active role in staying clean.

    So here I am. From the looks of it, this is an active and supportive community, and I look forward to the journey ahead.

    Best,
    Poisonwood

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you.

    The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Thanks Darvesh, glad to know I'm not alone!

    I really appreciate that, and that's a good question to pose. I suppose I haven't taken any huge steps, but I've tried to remove any apps from my phone that would cause me issues. There is a password on my phone that prevents me from having easy access to porn. I've downloaded the emergency app and also bookmarked it on my computer.

    I read a lot from the two big resources and feel that I should probably spend some time coming up with personal reasons for this plight, as well as some goals/activities to redirect my energy. Just haven't really spent the time doing that yet.

    I know an accountability partner should be something I seek out soon, but again, it might take some time.

    And lastly, (I won't quote because it's so long) thanks 2525 for all those resources! Currently trying my first 7 day challenge.
