    I'm new. I'm in my late 30s and have just been going too long. Typical story where it started slow and now I can sit down for 8 hours at a time overnight. I have a job where I can just sluff off for a day to recover, but I need to tone it down, which I know means stopping.

    I'm not sure that its possible. I like it. But I know that it needs to get under control, and I know that I can't moderate. I think I have to stop.

    Anyway, I think that's the typical story, but I needed to type it out to admit it and to just hear that it is possible. I know that my PM addiction is impacting my life. I'm functional, but I can be better.

    In any event, hi. I hope that I'm here a lot.

    I'm 17 dude, I'm new here too. If you're starting from today, get to the journal section and start a journal to end PM forever. I started my journal. The main problem with porn is that it feels good. I like motorcycles, If you have something that gives you more dopamine and adrenaline rush, you're going to become an addict to it. And its a good thing, you'll stop this shitty life and start living the life you were really meant to live. It's acheivable brother.
    I believe that you are going to crush it.

    Thanks. It does feel good, but it is a shitty life. That's probably the key thing to remember. I'll look into the journal.

    The more motivated you are, the better chance for you to succeed. If you can, Buy a bike or Learn something new. You can learn how to make music if you like music. If you like RC, then try it. Keep yourself busy so that you get home tired to sleep.

    Thanks. My triggers are definitely social media and the need to unwind at night. I need to find some other end-of-day hobby. With work and kids, there's not much to do but sit and watch TV or hit up the PM. I'm going to do this. I just need to admit that I can't manage without going cold turkey.

    Thanks for the message and support.

    Do you have a wife brother? I think getting into riding motorcycles is a great way to start thinking about something greater and it's fun too. I mean , what's your passion? See yourself in the future as an old guy, ask questions like What did you do in your life? Did going to a 9 to 5 job made you happy? When you have a little spark, you can turn it into a wild fire just by blowing in a little air and giving it more fuel. You starting nofap is that little spark, you only need to give it a fuel which it can digest and turn into tinder, give it more fuel and air , you have a fire. Do it the same way, Start by nailing nofap, then get progress in your success.

    It different in my situation. I have everything perfect from 8am to 11pm. Then the need to do something different or not responsible kicks in. I need to just work back in exercise. That'll help immensely.

    I have an Idea. Try putting your phone/computer elsewhere like the living room then go to bed at an hour earlier. It will work. Trust me!

    I usually just get up and go downstairs to get it. I'm going to leave my laptop at work from now on. I'm pretty sure I won't drive back up there! I've also massively cleaned out my social media. I know that I need to delete it, but I've cleaned it up significantly for now.

    Just believe that you are going to crush it. There are guys who don't even have the courage to do what you are doing man. Best wishes.
