    Hello! I'm a 21-year-old college student who's been very unhappy with my lack of a social life for years. I've also been trying to quit, or at least limit, my use of pornography and masturbation for quite sometime, when I found out about NoFap and recommitted a little over a week ago. I've gone 8 days PMO now, but it's getting hard to resist. At what point does it get easier? 5 days in I was doing pretty well and feeling more confident, but then was rejected by this girl I've been really into for quite a while now. So that didn't make things easier. Plus, I have finals coming up this week. This weekend's been hell, so I finally created an account, hoping for some encouragement.
     
  2. Welcome to the community and congratulations on your work so far. Keep it up.

    Hi Mary,
    Does it ever get easier? I don't know....maybe it just gets 'less hard' over time. I'm a week into my journey and am starting to feel the effects of withdrawl and the pull of the porn sites. I quit smoking just over ten years go, and even though in all that time I have only had just two drags of a cigarette I can tell you that every so often I will get a whiff of second hand smoke and a very small trigger goes off somewhere in the back of my brain......it just doesn't forget.....it just has less control of me now. I'm able to easily resist the urge to go buy a pack and light one up, I'm guessing that with time the same will be said with PMO. I suppose what makes kicking PMO harder is that unlike alcohol and tobacco there are no magic drugs to help you kick the addiction, no schemes or funds to help support you on your journey, just support sites like this, and if you have them some understanding friends, after that it's cold turkey and that's bloody hard. I hope you get what you need from this site to support you and help you and just know that regardless of age or gender everyone here has suffered like you in some way. Good luck.
