    Hey Everyone!

    I am so delighted to be part of this new community. At a time where addiction to PMO is escalating, I can't help but express my relief that a community such as NoFap exists; indeed, it is needed more than ever.

    As I deliberate over my words while typing this, I remind myself that I have to take back control of my life. I am a 22 year old male from the UK and I have an addiction to findom. More specifically, findom over twitter. I have no idea how it started, but after making a twitter account and engaging in it once, it just gets you hooked.

    You know, nobody ever thinks they can be an addictive type of person. After all, "we're not like the rest", we tell ourselves. How can we get addicted to something? But it is important we realise that it can happen to anyone. PMO, and the findom which I experienced, sucks the life out of you. You become dependent, aloof, depressed, all without even noticing.

    I hope, henceforth, to take back control of my life. It is through regaining our focus, getting back in touch with our genuine selves and our humanity, that we can begin to see the bigger picture.

    I find myself here, part of a community of likeminded people all attempting to take back control of their lives. We are all on this journey together, and I am honoured to benefit from all your advice and give help where neccessary. It is through this that I believe I can stop relapsing and take back control.

    Welcome!
    Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

    First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.
    So if you have any temptation , is okay to masturbate if you can't handle the stress , but don't porn anymore.
    No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines , erotic stories or asmr.
    If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.

    The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist

  6. Hey, welcome to the NoFap community
    : )

    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/
    Accountability groups (new!)/
    About NoFap/ Support NoFap

    Here is just some advice:
    First and foremost please take a careful look at each section in the forum, there may be something(s) you will find to be of big help to you.

    Secondly I 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 begin posting frequent status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement.
    The forum has got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see.
    People will find your profile and give you support.

    There’s 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 conversations. It would be great to have you join in and become part of the team!
    We support others in the threads, profile posts, and journals/reboot logs.
    Once you receive some support, please be sure and be grateful to the member for the help/support you received and consider giving some in return to anyone you wish.

    Thirdly, you should highly consider creating a public journal/reboot log (in the appropriate sectionfor you) to write about your days in depth for us members to follow along on your journey and offer support to you on.

    Please start your journal in the correct section and with that, also try your best to post in the correct sections as it is mandatory and would be helpful to the mods who organize the forum. : )

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
     
  7. Hey, and welcome to NF. I came across your post cause I was searching for stuff to read on findom. I was heavily hooked on it myself for over 10 years. Could stop in 2018 (Paypal caught me using different accounts and froze them all). Ever since some relapses happened. But I am still determined to end it for good. In case you want to talk feel free to send me a PM. Stay strong, one day at a time.
