    Hey There!

    I’m Tom, 29 year old male. Who has a serious problem with masturbation. It’s got to the point where it’s interfering in my daily living and I always feel dirty afterwards and start condemning myself.
    Only to restart again a few hours later! Insanity!
    I have kicked other addictions alcohol and drugs, I’ve been clean and sober for a good few years. I just need to really kick the wanking habit for good!

  2. Welcome among us man, we are here to help you. :)

    There are very simple tips to follow, yet effective. Here is a short list:
    • Stay busy: NoFap is much more than just quitting porn. It's especially breaking a bad habit and building good ones, so find things you like (hobbies) and become the best version of yourself by working out, taking cold showers, reading books, going outside, this kind of thing you know. The busier you are, the less time your mind will have to think about masturbating to porn. ;)
    • Use urges killers: whenever you have an urge to masturbate, do some push-ups or go outside. You need to redirect your thoughts on other things.
    • Don't touch your dick. Never. Only when you need to pee or washing it.
    • Think about all the harm this shit did to you, and think about why you started.
    Hope this help. :) There are tons of resources available on the Internet my friend, and it's easy to find.

    Good luck brother. We believe in you.

    YOU WILL SUCCEED. YOU MUST SUCCEED.
     
  3. 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!

    Welcome bro! You are in the right place. Take it one day at a time. Keep your mind busy when the urges hit...and they will hit. Put a plan in place NOW for when they come. Jogging, walking outside, pushups, cold shower, calling a friend, etc.

    YOU CAN DO THIS!
