    Been looking at nofap threads for a week now and i decided to join today. Im suffering from a serious PMO addiction and i need your help guys, to recover. The max I've abstained is for 2 weeks but i know i can do longer and better. Please advice and help !
     
  2. 1. Set an achievable goal and make your own PMO-counter. You mentioned that you've managed to abstain for 2 weeks before, so you might want to beat at first, for example.
    2. Think about the reasons you want to quit. Why have you come to this resolution, how you feel when you PMO and how has it affected your life. Make it clear to yourself why you want to change this part of your life.
    3. Tell someone close to you of your struggle with your addiction, trust me, that helps a lot.
    4. Get an accountability partner. The best situation would be that your accountability partner was someone you already know, one of your friends maybe. You can try to find an AP from the forum too, though and that's good more than good enough also.
    5. As you won't be spending time PMOing anymore, which might have been a time sink and energy depleting, you should find new, productive activies to fill in that hole in your schedule. Working out is very popular among fapstronouts, because it's a great way to blow out steams and ease feeling of sexual frustation. Find something that fits your way of living.
    6. Read inspiring stories from experienced fapstronouts who have succeeded in kicking the habit. You might even find some useful tips from around the forum.
    7. Read this article and other aritcles from the site: http://yourbrainonporn.com/brain-st...ivity-associated-pornography-consumption-2014
    8.Take cold showers. You can read more about cold showers here: http://yourbrainonporn.com/cold-showers
    9. In case of relapse, chillax. Don't ever binge, that way you'll only dig the hole deeper. If you're feeling the urges, go for a run or take a cold shower.
    10. Do it for you, not for someone else.

    Most of all, welcome yourself to your new life and have a great journey!
