Hello everyone, I'm new and just starting off. (I jerked off a few mins ago and it was terrible) I'll be trying to quit cold turkey because I tried to moderate P and M and it hasn't worked at all, in fact i lost a great deal of confidence and my problems went from bad to worse. I read up some stuff on 'fetish' addictions and was very happy to learn that they would go away on giving up porn. I'm gonna try and be off for a minimum of thirty days now. Hopefully I'm gonna get better. Thank you for this fabulous website, and good luck with your quests. Cheers!
Your message is my story too! I've tried and ties. I said yesterday on Easter Sunday I would stop and could not. Here's to giving it all I have.
Yes Jt1014! With a little bit of determination I'm sure we can get there. I believe the important thing is to stay occupied and busy and get off the freaking computer. I'm gonna pick up a hobby or learn something new. I wish you goodluck. we shall overcome!
Agreed. I golf , fish and paint. I added a spam blocker and will ONLY use my iPhone for work emails and this forum. The net and access to porn and chat rooms are my biggest vice. I read the SA book and I'm on step ONE. I surrender and am hopeless over lust. We shall do this together. Where can I get a accountability partner. Thanks for the post IDONTKNOWME.
Gents, Study the stuff on this thread. The test will be with your next arousal. Stay strong. This stuff is tough, but you are tougher. http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthread.php?2402-Get-educated-get-tools-and-learn-to-love-withdrawals
You're right Jt1014. As for access to porn/chat rooms I am planning to keep 'nofap.org' perpetually open and the counter running in the adjacent tab. Maybe this will help a little in controlling those sudden urges. Also I was thinking of jotting down all the negative thoughts and shitty feelings that I experience once I'm done masturbating. This is to remind myself why I've stopped if I forget. Reading the note should get me back on track. Thank you for your reply. I would love if you have any tips to share with me from your experience. Btw what book were you referring to? SA?
Thanks very much for that information FW. I found it very helpful. Your streak is an inspiration to all, especially us beginners! Hope you achieve your goal. Goodluck!
