New guy :D

Hello Dom!!
I'll say you Welcome, but I also have registered today xD
I also have girlfriend, like you.
I'm new like you, I can only say that I'll support you with this challenge!

 

Hey Dom_G, just wanted to say good luck and offer some advice. First, do lots of reading here and on the subreddit if you can for advice on how to fight cravings, because people better than me have got lots of good stuff for that. But i will say that an important step is to be able to recognize the craving for what it is...your brain trying to do anything it can and using any means to get what it wants. You have to recognize it and then chose to 1)not masturbate and 2) go out and do something else. Jog, work out, go find a new book, break in a new pack of gum, whatever. But getting up and doing something is what counts.

 

Hey Dom. Let´s fight together. First advice, if/when you fall. Don´t just lay down. Stand up. This addiction that we all have will punch you, all of us. Only thing that is that don´t give up no matter what people say. Focus being yourself. Focus making your girlfriend happy. My advice would be that i you have the feeling/urge to fap, think about how would your girlfriend feel if she knew your fapping to some random women.
We are here for you. Keep your hands where you can see them. and under control

 

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.
