    I'm a 20-year-old who never thought porn was bad until I tried taking a break from it and realized I had a dependency on it. I am not in a relationship at the moment but hopefully moving in that direction very soon. I hear that sexual satisfaction is better when couples don't watch porn, and I don't want to hurt my future relationship because of porn. I decided to lock SafeSearch on Google to stop myself from searching for anything remotely sexual. I unfollowed several accounts on Instagram in order to try and prevent any temptations as well. An acquaintance referred me here for help, and so here I am.

    Yeah the earlier you can get out of that rattrap (porn) the better, I hope you find the strength and if need be help to keep going.

    You can do it! the best motivation is becoming the man you were meant to be. Strong, confident and not coming under the power of anything. We were not made to be weak, it's not our destiny. Do this for your future wife. She deserves a man who is strong and is free from lust. (I know mine deserves better, that one of the reasons why I'm here to change)

    All good things so far. If you haven't already done so, please read the "getting started guide" available on this site's (noFAP) home page. It includes lots of helpful information as you get started.

    Regarding motivation - its inextricably linked to our goals. Take time to really think about your goals - its NOT a day count - its much more fundamental than that. As you reflect on your current PMO situation, you may come to realize that it really is having a strong negative effect on your physical and mental well being. In relationships, porn messes with intimacy both in how it hinders physical performance and how it hinders emotional performance; both fundamentals of intimacy. Think about what you really NEED to accomplish - thats your goal - Then think about how you will always keep that goal fresh in your mind. As we continue our noPMO journeys we sometimes lose sight of the "why I am here" and when that happens, our motivation weakens and resets and relapses often follow. (check out the glossary at the top of this page for terms and abbreviations that may be new to you). What will YOU do to keep your goals fresh in your mind ?

    You CAN do this. You KNOW you can. There is no better time to start your journey to healing than right now, so get going.

    One day at a time is how we all succeed.
