I'm in!

Hey man, glad you're here. You're right - there is tremendous power among friends. And you're definitely among friends here.

 

Welcome to NoFap.

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

For brand new members I recommend doing these three things:

1. Create a journal and post in it everyday, especially when you get urges. Just writing down that I have an urge helps to alleviate it.

2. Set a goal and create a PMO counter to track your progress. Copy and paste it in to your signature. (You can edit your signature in your account settings.)

3. Read and respond to other peoples journals. This will help to make you realize that you are not alone and give you hope and ideas on how to further develop in your recovery.

If you do these three things you'll be off to a great start.

Best of luck to you.
