    Quick funny observation: before I started to write this, I thought it could be a good idea to go for a PMO, but someone needed to go to the bathroom. (It was the second time it happened today). So I thought: "ok, lets just start my new life".

    I'm gonna use the guide to write this.

    Gender, age, how long using porn, and why I want to stop it

    Hello. I am a 20y/o male that not only wants to stop pornography addiction because all the bad consequences, but because I want to be baptized, therefore I can't let this thing be on my way anymore. (I am addicted since 2013 I think.)

    Besides the religious thing that I think you don't mind, pornography is being harmful mainly to my studies for the Army, which means I am procastinating a lot. Not only that, but for the physical exercises, that I'll need to be aproved in the exams. And of course, I hate to look at women and see them like things. As a future Christian, it really pisses me off. They're somebody, and it means a lot for God.

    My chosen rebooting parameters

    I tried a lot of times since 2017 I think (when I realized it was an addiction), but now I'm quite sure that this time it will be done based on what I read in the post called My Thoughts on Rebooting by TheUnderdog (which changed my mindset about rebooting)
    The PMO Spreadsheet seems the best idea I ever saw about that. It reminds the way that I organize my studies [one of the things that makes me studying at least 10-15 hours per week (which is not a good achievement, but better than nothing) is that system I created].

    When I will start

    Well, I started three days ago, but as you read in the "funny" observation, even if I didn't finished the "job", I did it. It means I am in the day zero, but it is about 20 PMOs this month or something like that.

    Well, I confident this time, I will be no more a slave.
    Ok then. Bye.

    (Obs1: I thought I could have troubles with my English, but now I think it was not that bad haha
    Obs2: Benedicti is a reference to Saint Benedict who threw himself into a lot of thorns to overcome a carnal temptation)

    Welcome to nofap!

    My suggestions:
    * Wear briefs (not boxerbriefs) instead of boxers. This keeps everything secure, and not flopping around where you can be tempted/distracted.
    * Keep a schedule for your day and don't have unstructured time where you can be distracted/tempted. Make sure you're reading, or going for a walk, or talking to a friend, or getting some work done, and not just lazing around.

  4. Hey brother we're on a similar road it seems as I am awaiting to be baptised as well! Not that anything we do can merit baptism but I desire to "go and sin no more" as it were. All the best!
