Hi All, I just posted in the journal thread without making introductions. I've struggled with PMO since roughly 11-12. First it was on my mom's old HP laptop, and misusing family devices has been a common thread for my addiction ever since, with other not-so-cool behaviors coming into awareness. I hope to gain further support for quitting PMO and focusing on developing healthy relationships with women; be it romantic or otherwise.
Hey kpmount, Welcome to the NoFap community! If you haven't already, check out this information on rebooting. I've found it very helpful in knowing what to expect. Feel free to message me or anyone else here if you have questions or want to talk. Best of luck during your reboot. Again, Welcome!
Welcome @kpmount, I'm glad you're here. I found SLAA and SCA many years ago, and they did me a lot of good. I moved to a rural area, however, and these groups aren't available to me any longer; that's why I'm so grateful I found this site. Let me know if I can help.
Yes! I had some networking opportunity with a local videography company, but now I am stuck at home and need some distraction.
One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work. Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few: @2525 Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/147264/ --- @Visor Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/144228/ --- @Dragonnlife Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/136148 --- @I_can_and_I_will Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/138959/ --- @weddingnails Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143418/ --- @MLMVSS Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/142945/ --- @Struggle Bug Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/141911/ --- @BigDawg913 Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/145872/ --- @Sunshadow Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/75108/ --- @kropo82 Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/78164/ --- @tet2vd Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/144513 --- @Protagoras Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/109842/ --- @Tomoya Okazaki Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143534/ --- @DavidGibson Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143325/ --- @Euklid Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/146663/ --- @BreatheDeeply Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139097/ --- @LiquidShoes Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/134044/ --- @Reverent Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143845/ --- @Former_CD Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/87827/ --- @PatrickR Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139570/ --- There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start. This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here. - L
Hey @kpmount , Very glad you are here. When I arrived here, I was very confused by the program. So many terms, ideas, different opinions. I was in some ways as overwhelmed with NoFap as I was with pmo. I found two things that helped me. First, was reading up on the program and figuring out where to start and how to work my program. The best page is the one with the list of all the resources available. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ That page explained the program. I read every article and watched all the videos on that page. Next, was the community. By getting involved, reading people's posts, remembering to "like" the posts, reading the post not only in the forum, but on people's profiles, I found a great group of people. This is a diverse community. We have religious people and secular ones. There are men and women. People with months of no pmo and those just starting out. As well, there are many different approaches to remove porn from our lives forever. Keep reading posts and profiles. You will find someone who is telling your own story. Keep posting your own story, someone needs to read it. Looking forward to reading many more posts from you, - L
I've actually been going to local meetings for two years; I only consider myself a novice still because of the struggle to maintain long-term sobriety.
