365 Days ago i signed up to NoFap with the full intention of changing habits of a lifetime. 32 years of PMO is a long time. I started a journal, introduced myself, interacted and stuck to the promise i made to myself publicly. Last year to say "I'm a porn addict" was a relief and the beginning of a long, hard and often difficult journey that brings me here today.

Over the last 12 months ive M'd twice and both times with my partner. Never alone watching filth.

I havnt view porn in the last 12 months at all. Ive no desire to fall down that hell hole again.

The advice i can give to help in your own journeys, based on my own experience is
Take each day at a time, do a day and repeat
Keep yourself busy
Share your burdens with others
Be honest about your addiction
Get yourself an AP
Get off of all social media for a while
Install blockers
Get into the real world
Interact on NoFap
Research addiction, dopamine use
Learn to hate porn.. really despise it
Do what it takes to stay clean one day at a time
Study your past , learn your triggers and deal with them without masking the pain.
Talk about the addiction
Never forget where you where and how far you have progressed
Reward youself at 30 60 90 120 150 180 210 240 270 300 330 365 days clean

Put a note in your calendar app every 30 days as a reminder and stop counting each day. Reach it and reward yourself... just go out and fucking live your life. Dont sit and masturbate your life away.

Hey im 21 years old and ive been losing hair for like 4 years now and my receding hair has got really bad and im on my 68th day of nofap and my hair is shedding alot, more than ever! Is this bad or is my hair going threw a shedding phase? I have read alot about hair loss and masturbation and to be honest my hair started to fall when I started masturbating.
So has anyone regrown hair after a long period of nofap (6 months, 1 year)
I know it sounds crazy and I will get Comments saying its bullshit, but alot of People say they have regrown hair after abstaining for a long period of to me.
Please reply

It could be just that you have a lot of dihydrotestosterone in your system. If so, that probably has to do with genetics. If masturbating a lot caused hair loss, then I'd be as bald as Kojak. I still have all my hair.
I also stopped PMO for an eight month period when I was 25 and it didn't affect my hair in terms of loss.

This is exactly how I have been treating it, and truly shows the extension of slowly removing pmo out of my life, for something more beneficial. Thank you for sharing your 1 year transformation, @britaxe

I really like the rewarding yourself every 30 days. That's really good positive reinforcement, something that I think porn users would benefit a lot from. Too many times we focus on the negative reinforcements, ie. how porn is destructive and hurts relationships, makes you feel lonely and depressed, but that can bring us to feel shame and just go back to porn because we feel like shit. With positive reinforcement you are actively replacing the dopamine release that you got from porn with treating yourself for not looking at porn! Pretty awesome I think. Cheers to ya man! I think I will do the same!

Congrats on 1 year! I just joined NoFap today and I've been doing a lot of reading and 2 things I discovered today: 1) I can't believe how much time I've wasted over the past 20 years. 2) I am so incredibly excited about my future, and the things I'm going to do and accomplish.

Congrats on making the decision to change your life @NewLife101. Take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Don't think more than that. Live in the moment as much as you can. Reward yourself for your progress. Get offline for sometime on social media, reconnect with the real world and start to live.
