    Hello!
    I'm 29 years old, I'm from Argentina and I'm looking for a new way of life. My best friend recommended this website to meet other people with similar problems, so ... let's do it! I have struggled with depression, anxiety and now I am trying to improve step by step ... I know it is complicated, but not impossible.
    My main problem is, among all, sexuality: since I can remember, I've been gay. Throughout my life, I've worked hard to accept my condition. Now, I can say that I have no problems with myself and that I can lead a life without fears.
    However, I recently discovered religion, and I'm entering a completely different world with specific rules that don't approve of my sexual orientation... The problem is that I know that I can not change my feelings or my sexual preferences... but I can choose a life without sexual relations.
    So, here I am, introducing myself to you. Pleased to meet you all, and thank you!

    Welcome Dinky, glad to have you here :)
    I'm also trying to work through depression and anxiety, and some sexual confusion.
    Which religion if I may ask?

    Hola! Tengo 21 pregunta: Porque estás motivado a dejar la masturbación?
     
  4. Hey @Dinky ,

    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.

    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.

    Here are just a few journals to start with, you'll find more I'm sure:

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

    So, if you would have found more profiles yourself, why suggest these particular ones as a start? Those relationships started with just saying hello. So, my ESH is that saying hello has kept the fellowship alive for myself.

    Looking forward to your success and in seeing you say hello on these profiles,

    --> L
