    Hi everyone!

    Im excited to be on the beginning of my journey to a better me.

    How long should I refrain from masturbatuon? Do I avoid sex too?

    Im 30 now and I've had a porn addiction since I was 18-19. It got so bad the last Two years that it ruined my last relationship, I was also smoking weed to increase pleasure.

    Welcome to NoFap!

    How long you refrain is a personal decision. Many begin with 30 days 60 or 90 days. Many avoid sex as well. That is referred to as a hard reboot. Those who don't abstain from sex are on an easy reboot. Those who are married and in relationships often choose easy reboots but some don't. Those who are single often choose hard reboots but some choose easy reboots. Many believe hard reboots make better rewiring results and Fapstronauts will give you their opinions on both sides.

    They would suggest you give up weed if only because it is a known trigger to MO.

    I'd go baby steps. 30 days would be a hell of an accomplishment.
    Good luck, man.
    You got this.

    Welcome. I completed Day 45 hardmode today. Six months ago, I would not last a week. It does get easier with practice and with small steps. You can do this.
    Cheers.

    It does get easier! Congrats on your achievements too. I reset since I posted that remark -- but it is all good. We never actually go back to square one. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, and being in control, rather than compelled. My streaks get longer each time. Aiming for 60 Days this time. Stay positive and strong, brother. All the best to you. Cheers.
