Its difficult

Hello, I'm also new here, currently on day 9.
Its damn easy if just done small small goals.
I hope this method will help you because I'm also addicted to masturbation. And I took some simple steps to get over it.
I will tell you what I have done hope it works for you too and same to others.

Whenever we think about NoFap challenge we always think about 90 days which look way harder than it. So I have take my own challenge as 21 days because my longest streak was 21 days almost 10 years back and 10 days highest streak before some month. So I know I can do atleast 10 days. now my goal is 21 days. So whatever happens I will do 21 days. Will do 90 days later but I will enjoy my 10th day and 21st day.
Well that's my goal but i would like to request you too to try your highest streak of No M, no P you have done before then enjoy by masturbation and again go for atleast 1 day ahead of it. If possible try to do 4 days, 7 days, 15 days, 21 days, 90 days challenge. Any of it. Why because I have tried this method on myself.
Hope you try to do your best. And wish you best of luck.

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!

 

You have to do this for yourself. Be the man your wife and kids need. Wishing you the best.

 

Well, looks like we are all unconscious. This world is a trap and we are stepping into it.
Self-created suffering.

Welcome to the Nofap community.
The NO PM O journey is not easy but worth the effort.
The community will support you.

I also prefer short - term streaks and then prolong them.
Find out for yourself what makes you feel good.
Don’t worry about anything. If you relapse, just make a new start.

 

The first step is admitting to yourself you have a problem and that step eluded many of us for years, so for starters well done on making the first step.

I'm the same age as you but i don't have a partner or children. We were the first generation of people to 'grow up' with access to online pornography and what seemed like a harmless way to pass the time back then ended up fueling more difficulties down the line.

I have been free from porn (and drugs and alcohol) for over 4 years now, it is possible to get to a place where you no longer wish to view it anymore but it is a challenge. The greatest hurdle you will face will be yourself. What helped me is getting counselling and reading about the harms of pornography in books like 'the porn trap' by larry and wendy maltz, and 'your brain on porn' by Gary Wilson amongst others.

 

I feel ya buddy . We all fail in same hole and people around us suffer too . Not to mention the demage we couse to ourselfs. I prove to be a weak person with fights over 26 years and still i struggle . Its hard addiction for me and many others . Good luck in your journey . Feel free to ask if you have questions!

 

Your situation sounds very similar to mine. Good luck
