This is my first time being on nofap, I really want to kick my habit of viewing porn. I do not want to expose everything about my life at this point. But I want to kick this habit, because I feel as though it is holding me back in a number of ways. Not only that, but I know it is bad for me psychologically and how I view women. I don't necessarily see my porn viewing as a addiction, I can still function, and I do not view more than once a day. A lot of the times its once a day, but if I am really busy or just tired, its less than once every two days, roughly. There isn't much in my life that has been effected by it, except for my relationships. I had a girlfriend in high school until halfway through my second semester of college who I told that I thought I might have a problem, she told me that she considered it cheating. We did not break up at that point, but I think it put more distance between us. Ever since then, I haven't broken my habits of viewing porn or have not really even gone on any dates at all. Maybe one or two, but nothing worthwhile. I would not say that porn is the sole contribution to me not dating, as I have other issues that have taken a while for me to deal with, but I know it does not help. In all, I hope that this community can help hold me accountable and that this is just another stepping stone on my journey to becoming a more complete person and man.
Welcome! I also just joined today. I think I made the forum right before yours. I also feel its holding me back in many ways. I was thinking about getting a small group of fapstronauts together for an accountability group. Just to check in and support each other on a regular basis. Are you interested?
Great! I'm not actually sure the best way to go about this though. I found someone who's up for making a group so maybe we can join with them and figure it out from there. Here's the link to that forum: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/looking-for-an-“ap”.204763/
