    As I embark in a new chapter in my quest for chaste living, I am glad to come across this resource. I say no coincidences because, just as I stumbled at the very onset of the new start, I came across the website. Glad to be here.

    A few brief notes: :emoji_musical_note::emoji_musical_note:

    Ok, that was a bad attempt at humor. :D

    More seriously, I am someone who has been masturbating as far back as memory goes, and to make matters worse I went from some magazines and digital files on a floppy disk (as a teen) to no internet (due to the country I was living in) to full internet and satellite TV as I turned 17, which means I suddenly went full porn, and that was unhealthy. Although my preference was more for romantic/soft stuff.

    I should add I've never been especially interested in sex per se, and while I dated in high school and college and consider myself of a heterosexual persuasion, I've never had sex or a strong sexual drive.

    I currently live in a religious community in vow of chastity, but I still struggle with masturbation as it is an addiction. Although I have moved on from the days of eluding my accountability partner by driving in a parking garage and quickly fapping to a silly sex scenes in some movie (that's just one of my lowest points).

    Recovery has taken me through a journey of greater understanding of human sexuality at a physical and theological level, as well as daily work on self-mastery and humility. There's no easy way out of any addiction, especially one that society foolishly encourages and promotes.

    I hope to continue the progress in this online community at least for some time. :) PS English is not my first language and I am naturally an intense person, please be patient with me :)

    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 profilesection..(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!
