    Greetings to everyone who finds themselves here. I have been hooked by porn from aabout the age of 10 or 11 - back in the 1960s - when the 'porn' that I became obsessed by was 'girlie' magazines - mostly topless ones. Since then i have lost my marriage, my home, my career and my reputation because of this. And yet I still persist with it. I am starting afresh today. I am trying new habits to replace the old ones. I would very much love to have an accountability partner ideally in the Uk but anywhere would be good!. I will blog here starting tomorrow and give the fullest account of my journey. I think if i can set it all down then perhaps it will help. My warmest hello to all others here. Please reach out. I am going to spend time each day reaching out myself.

    Waking up today into my first full day without the old drug and crutch - an underwhelming but agreeable feeling. And that's what it's so often all about. Feelings and the dulling and doping of them.

    Welcome to Nofap Billy,
    I think you've already known the disadvantages of PMO. It is a very important step if you really want to quit them.
    The urges can be very strong while you are stopping doing it in a few days. I recommend you to read success stories in the forum.
    It can enhance your confidence and your streak. Moreover, you will learn many knowledge and techniques of Nofap which leads you to succeed.
    90 Days NOPMO - 3 Keys for success
    This might help you to begin.

    Best wishes

    @BillyShears1958 Hi Billy, it will help you to set it all down in a journal. I have had similiar losses and problems since I was about the same age as you when you started with pmo. I didnt ever think to seek out how many people share my problems, and would never have thought to share about them either but thank god I did. Sharing allows you to free yourself from the feelings after pmo which can then allow you to begin to try new positive things. Try to stay busy, take a walk outside call a friend and hang out or go get some exercise. Anything that makes you feel better after doing it other than pmo. I hope that helps you, and if you slip a few times your not alone pick yourself up and start again. Good luck on your journey to self improvement.
