    I've been saying this for years now, but I really think I got something going here.

    I'm a 23yr old male and I've been PMOing since 13 when a friend introduced me to it. At first it was awesome, its was so so good, it was the best thing in the world.

    But then all through high school I found it hard to socialize and make friends, and of course I didn't see PMOing as the problem to this but as a relief. Now I'm socially awkward and find it hard to start conversations with peers, even family. Whats worst, I recently found that I might have ADD.

    I've just about had it. I don't want to PMO anymore. I want to fix my low self esteem.

    Great start to a phenomenal journey. Failure may happen but never forget where this decision to quit this addiction may take your life in the future.

    I identify. PMO started off great when I got into it at 13 or 14. It was like electricity running through my body and it made everything better. Filled the holes, healed the wounds, gave me zest, made me feel loved, desired. At that point, I might have been able to stop but didn't want to. Then I wanted to stop but couldn't. PMO was my master.

    Good start wanting to stop.

    The pain of withdrawal from stopping PMO now is nothing compared to what you will experience years from now without PMO. This is a drop in the bucket. But you need to crush this now.

    You might be right. It's been some days now since i started the challenge, but I'm already feeling a difference. I've replaced PMOing with exercise and it's great. No more late nights, no more feeling fatigue during the day. When you start seeing results like this, it's huge motivation, really make you want to continue down this path.

    You're on the right track. Replacing PMO with something postive is exactly what you need to do to improve your life and your situation.

    A few things that I've implemented since joining this site are:

    1) Set my homepage to http://www.nofap.org/forum/forum.php
    2) I'm keeping my door open at all times to make it hard to PMO. I live with two female roommates.
    3) Bookmarked http://emergency.nofap.org - it works best if you don't keep hitting refresh but take what you need from it and move on.
    4) I'm taking cold showers.
    5) I did some research on http://www.yourbrainonporn.com and watched the Ted talks videos there.
    6) I'm reading/posting as much as I can on this forum.
    7) I'm keeping a daily journal and created a counter to track my progress.
    8) I wear a rubber band on my wrist that I snap whenever I have a sexual thought or become aroused.
    9) I flex all of my muscles rhythmically whenever I feel like I'm going to get an erection to direct blood flow away from it.
    10) I've watched "Sacred Sexuality" videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/user/SacredS...sort=da&view=0

    Keep up the good work.
