    Greetings,

    I'm having serious issues posting here so I hope this won't be my last word for a while. The one thing seriously missing from my NoFap experience that I have in my alcohol and drug recovery is being able to reach somebody when I need them. In AA I have a ton of friends and I just pick up the phone instead of picking up a drink. For reasons I can't go into, I can't do that here with this particular addiction. However, I do have Skype and I can reach out to my Skype friends (from here) and yell "HELP, I'm feeling squirmy and about to give in"!! And you all can do the same for me. Here's what you do -
    * Get the Skype app, install it and pick a user name (similar to your name here if possible) - let others here know what it is, add me to your contacts.
    * Make sure whenever you're online that Skype is open in the toolbar
    * Send me a Skype message and I'll add you to my contacts
    * And most importantly, when you're about to fail, DON'T - instead, open a conversation on Skype with me or somebody else from here - start a chat and interrupt the flow of the temptation.

    If you want to try if out, my Skype handle is [email protected].

    I promise you that if I'm online on my home laptop, I'm available to you if you need me. Part of recovery is just interrupting the relentless regularity of the fapping routines - creating interference both by asking for help and giving others help. In fact in AA, nothing keeps you sober like helping another alcoholic. Let me hear from you.

    Peace brothers and sisters.
     
  2. Thanks, this a wonderful thing you've done!

    Thank you Placeholder . . . maybe put your Skype handle here so I can verify it's somebody from the forum. I'm already getting strange requests like "star vixen" and "sugar baby" on my Skype . . . WTF?? I figured they aren't from here!! It's like the goddamn devils come out of the woodwork when you try to really recover. I had all kind of trouble downloading Skype and I was mysteriously blocked from posting here for weeks - I deleted and created a 2nd account and still couldn't post here. . . . honest to God I'm fighting the dark side of the Force at every turn.
     
  4. Believe it or not, I don't have a skype handle. I'm kind of a luddite, very cautious and apprehensive about techology. Sorry to hear about your troubles...sounds kind of like what happened when I tried to set up iTunes to buy some tunes for my son. I think I was born in the wrong era.

    I'm realizing now that if I stick to Internet Explorer it seems to work. But Firefox worked for me for months, and just recently quit working. If you need help with Skype, let me know.
