    I keep doing it every New Year. I resolve to stop watching porn. With my computer and smartphone, I keep watching. In 2016 I am going to stop. I am 41 years old. I have a wonderful wife and three children. I am also a professional, making a good income. I am exactly where I want to be in life. Yet I sneak porn at work and at home and risk everything that I worked so hard for. I had a setback on January 15. I am tired of the risk, guilt and fear.

    My Journal
    Hi @Veritech , Welcome to NoFAp

    I feel your pain, which is very similar to the one we all felt here when we started this program.
    It would be a big step if you know what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear.

    I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up.
    I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down:

    I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too:

    You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post:

    I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction.

    Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too.

    I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction.

    Fercho

    I feel your pain too. Porn destroy everything that is good in our life and it is time to kick that habit forever. I recommend you to join an accountability group on this site to get more help. All the best in your Journey.

    Thanks for the encouragement. What makes this so difficult is because the people who I care about do not know my horrible secret of my porn habit. It helps to know that I am not alone and that I have people such as yourself to converse with.

    Do you have a journal, something that makes you check in here regularly?

    I would like to follow your progress, I like to support. Supporting another is supporting myself.

    Your success is the world's success, it affects your wife, your children and everyone you come in touch with.

    Thank you for fighting, keep it up!

    Kind regards,

    I have a sort of journal under Rebooting called "Historical Documentaries".

    Essentially, when my kids go to bed and my wife goes upstairs to watch television, I have the basement to myself. This was the ideal time to watch porn on the computer without being noticed.

    I have bought an elliptical machine and a number of documentaries from PBS and the History Channel. Instead of putting my marriage and my family at risk, I am distracted from the usual temptation.

    Bonus that I can get in shape and learn something as well.

    Please continue to support me. I will try to do the same for you. It is most appreciated. I think such support is what I have been missing in over 20 years of viewing complete garbage aka pornography.
