New Fapstonaut from Down Under

Discussion in 'New to NoFap' started by Aussieterrier, Jan 9, 2018.

  1. Hi There,
    Well I’m an Aussie guy 56, but look ten years younger, into a healthy lifestyle and fitness, but realised recently that something was missing. I never thought I was addicted to porn, but realised whenever I was bored or needed a hit, that’s where I found myself, on my iPhone looking for the next quick high.
    By accident just before Christmas I came across NoFap November. I thought this makes sense, why not try it. What have I got to lose.
    Three weeks in and doing well.
    At first I couldn’t see a lot of change except my groin and pubic area felt very hot, but no desire to do anything about it.
    Now into week three, my energies are lifting, my moods have stabilised, I’m motivated and focused. But best of all I’m not getting dragged into other people’s shit. Once I’d be flying off the handle at others who I thought had pissed me off, but now I am just in a zone, not worried by the outside world. It’s amazing.
    I’d practiced abstinence for many years due to my early life story. Sex and intimacy caused great anxiety. So I decided to leave it be, but still was into getting myself off whenever I could. Now I realise the downside of this and the effects it’s had.
    The future I’m looking forward to, if this is three weeks and these are the results, there can only be good things to manifest in the future.
    An exciting ride it’s going to be. Who knows, no limits of any kind.
    Thanks

    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?
     
  3. Strategies, good question.
    I’ve always been very strong willed and disciplined, which I think helps. My diet is clean, I love to exercise and stay focused, so I’ll be applying what I already know to focus on what’s been lacking in my life and what I want to now achieve in various areas. It’s just shifting ones focus. But I’m open to all suggestions. Thanks
     
  4. 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:

    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.
