    Hi Everyone,

    I have been trying to stop masturbating to porn for a few months now as I'm tired of the way I'm living right now.
    I know that my porn addiction is holding me back from making progress forward in life.
    It is holding me back from building healthy relationships and hobbies and preventing me from the living the life I want (colorful, vibrant and not alone).
    Also, I have been catching myself thinking eerily similar to an "incel" sometimes and it saddens me because I am taking out my pain on others and becoming someone I don't want to be.
    I have, also, been having suicidal thoughts for many years now and I know if this addiction doesn't stop, I will give in to those thoughts one day.

    Thank you NoFap for prompting me to write this, I hope this will help me succeed in my recovery as whenever I am about to give up, I will look back at his post and know exactly why I can't give up.

    It's not the addiction's choice if it will stop or not - it's YOUR choice.

    Welcome to the Nofap community.
    The NO PMO journey is not easy but worth the effort.
    The community will support you.
    Maybe you want to make a commitment - not to the community but to yourself.

  6. Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal, we could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
