    Hello guys,

    I have officially joined NoFap today. My main reason is that I have become a victim of PMO. Earlier I had great self-control and I really had won over this problem. But just a year or so and change in personal circumstances, I feel like I have gone back to square one. I know that PMO is bad but I keep falling back into the trap. And after that its so much depression and sadness. It seems like a never-ending cycle of misery and depression. I just wish to go back to the previous phase in my life where I had such great self-control. But I'm finding it really really hard. I had installed a web filtering software to see if it works but yesterday, I worked a way out to disable it and I relapsed. So today I'm just causing myself more misery by regretting and relapsing again and again.Having no internet is also not a solution. Frankly, I am running out of solutions. So, this is my main reason for being on this forum. I want to stay motivated and read about inspiring stories and find a way for my problem. Tomorrow will be Day 1 for me and I hope I can get back my soul. I really want to experience happiness again. Also I have selected Hard Mode because I want total abstinence.

    You can just start your own journal in whichever age section you feel comfortable and start 90 days.

    This is where you setup the counter badge, set a date and a goal.

    Hi and welcome to the community

    I would recommend you to stay in touch with members and read their success stories. You may also learn tricks to avoid the short-term pleasure and to face the temptations.

    Be AWARE of your habits and control what you see and what/who you spend your time with.

    It's also important to limit the usage of social media. In addition, never be free! Use your free time as much as possible and do sports, exercise, attend classes, etc.


    This video contains everything that you need to know about porn addiction. Lastly, here is a collection of ways to deal with the urges which worked great for me.

    ֍ You got this my friend ֍

  8. Hey welcome to the NoFap forum : )

    It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!


    First let me go ahead and drop some helpful links for you:

    Getting Started Guide / Forum Rules / How to Use the NoFap forums/ Glossary/ NoFap Panic button / Set up your day counter / Rebooting Resources/ About NoFap/ Support NoFap


    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 advise you to be active on your profile(as there 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.


    Theres a portion of people who 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. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and give some help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. 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/log (in the appropriate section for you) 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!

    Our wicked mind can find ways across such simple protections. It's only a few steps.

    The main thing is to rewire your thoughts and cleanse off all those sexual memories and filth that take you back to that old world of suffering, frustration and little pleasures.

    Yeah, I do agree with that but it's you who decide what you use it for.

    That's a good reason to do the rebooting. I am sure you can come up with more reasons. List them out and read them as first thing in the morning to keep yourself on the track.

    I wish you all the best. Hope to see you active in here.
