Turning 35, new here, looking for new approach

Welcome @Edmond Dantes, I'm glad you are here. If I can help, let me know.

 

@Edmond Dantes welcome and best wishes for you to find in this community the strength you need to overcome your addiction.

I am myself relatively new to NoFap. I have by today 27 days of abstinence of PM, which is longest break ever already. I have found strength and hope in knowing that I am not alone with my problem, which I was - until just few months ago.

If I can be of any help let me know. I recommend starting a journal, writing it has unspeakable power to support abstinence, I kept on resetting and relapsing before I started regularly and consequently writing it. For today it is my main supporting tool as I am not that active on the forum besides journaling.

Although I am on footstep of increasing level of my activity on the forum, as my urges become stronger - I definitely need to extend my supporting-tools set. So, following this experience and conclusion, I would recommend to be as active on the forum as possible from day 1

 

Hello and welcome to NoFap! I’ve assembled a list of things to look into for newcomers such as yourself. Please take a look!

There are plenty of forums here on the website. Places where you can have a journal, talk and discuss certain subjects with the people on here, etc. And speaking of journals…


Consider creating a journal if you haven’t already! By documenting your journey in talking about what you did that day and how your streak is going, you can allow others to follow and support you!

Under 20: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/under-20.17/

Children are being exposed to pornography at younger and younger ages, these days often below the age of 10! Many of us are experiencing significant detrimental effects before reaching our 20s. This is for journals for rebooters in their teenage years.


Ages 20-24: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/ages-20-24.18/

For NoFap® reboot logs between the ages of 20 and 24. This is a common age group of rebooters, so the NoFap moderators split the 20s into two sections.


Ages 25-29: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/ages-25-29.19/

This is the age group of many of the original users of the NoFap® platform. They're among the first generation of those who went through early puberty with the existence of high-speed Internet porn, and many of them are experiencing significant side effects. Time to get clean!


Ages 30-39: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/ages-30-39.20/

They are among the first generation of those who went through their teenage years with the existence of high-speed Internet porn. This is for journaling between the ages of 30-39.


Ages 40+: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/ages-40.21/

They have some life experience under their belt, and they have plenty of time to make significant changes to turn things around.

Some Motivation








And most of all…


GOOD LUCK! STAY CLEAN! DON’T PMO!

 

@Edmond Dantes, I think that above post from @LiquidShoes completely answers your question about how to do your own journal. but basically go to your age section. I started my journal in 30-39 section. good luck again bro

 

Hi, @Edmond Dantes ! I have the same problem, I work alone in my home, spending all day long in front of the computer. It's really hard. I totally understand you. Count on me for everything you need. Stay strong and best of luck!

 

Good luck partner!

I am also new in NoFap and this is the first time I am giving it a try. But I am familiar with the idea of "depriving yourself of things". (I used to fast when I was a teenager and I was a vagetarian for years which can be tough.)

What I want to say is sooner or later we will hit a "wall". Maybe reset, relapse. What newcomers like you and I should keep in mind is that it is normal and we always have another chance to try again. Everytime with more experience and willpower.

Good luck in this new chapter of yur journey!
