    Hey all,
    My name is Scott, first I'd like to start on why I'm joining this site. Over the years I've always masturbated almost daily and recently it's been starting to affect my social life and home life. I don't want to masturbate anymore because it is unhealthy and is only the pleasure of the flesh. I would much rather be able to find someone that can help me be normal I.E. a girlfriend (nothing sexual). It also started to get worse when I started developing deeper fantasies and doing other things I won't mention that I'm ashamed of and want to forget about and start anew. This is why I'm joining NoFap, to live a healthier life and normal life. I also want to learn to keep my sexual tendencies suppressed so that I never get random boners anymore. And I want to stop sinning ofcourse. If anyone wants to share their journey they had on this site I think it would greatly help me.

    Thanks all

  5. Hey @ScottDLB ,

    I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

    Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

    What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

    First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

    Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

    Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

    That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

    For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2 fellowship.

    Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles.

    I've found that the bricks that hold this community together are cemented with the support of the members of the fellowship.

    One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

    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:
