    Like many others here, this surely isnt my first attempt to stop masturbating over porn, but this time i feel like i have to make more work of it, so thats why i signed up here to share.
    Other times were only in my head (ok, this was the last time...now im stopping) just to find myself going back to old habits within a day, a few days or a week or so.
    I want to stop because reading through all the stuff here i feel like im just before it realy messes up my life. Wife doesnt know i struggle with this, and i dont want to risk anything my marriage has given me. lately during irl sex ive had troubles to O, unless i finish myself off with my hand, so thats another sign that frightens me.
    I noticed i do it mostly when im bored, even though i have plenty of hobbies and stuff to do, but i guess i get bored late in the evening and find myself going straight in the middle of the night, so it keeps me from sleeping a lot.

    About me, 34yo dutch guy, married, curious if there are more dutch people here i can share with in my own language although english is fine too.

    Im realy looking forward to your support here, seems like a very inspirational place.
    Any thoughts on how to start from here?

    You made first step wanting to get rid of this nasty habbit . Well done for this .
    Think what you can replace pmo with when you are bored? Reading nice book , movie , games ? Dont do pmo first thing ....try to fight it . Its tough but we must win . Good luck pal

    Thanks. It's not that all of those things are not at my disposal...they are withing reach, the urge to go to porn is just very strong and hard to resist.
    Change starts today!

    Good work! I can definitely relate to the struggling to O with others irl. It's pretty messed up what we can condition ourselves to do.

    I was someone who looked early morning/late night. I'd recommend maybe you load this Forum up in your Incognito browser, that way then you find yourself about to peak, the Nofap forum is the first thing you see. Might serve as a reminder that you chose to stop and you CAN stop.

    Thanks Stu, yeah is was considering making this place as the first place i visit when i get urges to go online out of boredom.
    Do you know if there are ways to just block P related sites with stuff like firewalls or something? or maybe there is a section around here that can be helpfull?
    I imagine if i cant have access to it that could be very helpfull
     
  6. Hey man,

    I'm Dutch too. If you want you can chat with me in Dutch.
    As for thoughts on how to start:

    What was your longest streak on NoFap?
    Try to take small steps:
    For example: if your record is one week, then try to set your next goal on two weeks. If you fail, keep trying until you succeed!

    Right now I'm on my goal to get a 1 month streak. My longest no PMO'ing ever. My last record was 14 days.

    Thanks Dannywashere
    I think the longest must have been around 2 weeks, usually during a holiday when i have less privacy and more distractions.
    So i think thats my first goal, that would take me straight to the end of the year so i guess an easy countdown.
    Good stuff from you going to 1 month, looks like you made it half way, keep going!
     
  8. Thanks man! I will.
