I'm about to go down a path I can't control

    Hi everyone. I've been absent on this forum for a while, but have decided to return in a matter of urgency.

    I've just ordered a Fleshlight, an artificial toy for men. I fear it will lead me down a path I can no longer return from. I fear that it will deter me from any real connection with a person because I now have a substitute for physical interaction. I've struggled for so long with PMO addiction and this seems to be the final straw.

    I haven't received the item yet, and can still refuse to accept it when it arrives. If you have any advice to help me change my mind, now is the time I ask for it.

    The flesh light is not an option. Reinforce in yourself that these habits are not an option under any circumstance. Convince yourself that masturbation of any form is not an option. When it arrives reject it or throw it in a dumpster. It is not an option.

    Time has passed since you ordered that fleshlight. That means you are both technically and literally a different man then when you bought it. Since then you have come to this forum, asking for help—an indication that you have changed or are changing your mind. Clearly then, that package is for someone else, someone who doesn't exist any more. Therefore, it would be impossible for the package to be delivered, and simply must be rejected :) .

    Just cancel the order :)
    The fact your second doubting it means if you actually use it, it won't be as amazing as you thought.

    Your addiction is making you not want to cancel it. The addiction, the devil that it is, saw the light (pun intended) and now won't let go. You gave it air to breath and grow. You'll feel a huge sense of relief by cancelling the order. Starve the addiction and kill that devil. You'll feel in control again and your panic will subside. CANCEL THE ORDER.

    DON'T DO IT!

    DON'T DO IT!

    DON'T DO IT!

    I am begging you - do NOT do this!!!!!! That is not the man you want to be. It was a moment of weakness. The way to win back your strength is to fight! Win this battle - for yourself, for all the dudes out there toying with similar temptations. That is pretty much all of us around here. One day, you'll be reaching down to pick somebody else up. Get back up on your feet right now and make a pact with yourself that you will under no circumstances allow this enemy to enter your life. Imagine what the devices will be like in the future - make a stand now. That is one thing you will not regret.

    Tell us you'll post back after this ordeal is over with and we can all celebrate this massive victory!!!

    By the way, Donsange, you did the right thing coming here and reaching out. That shows you have some strength to not just lay down and die. That is the impulse to feed!

    Gentlemen... I refused the order.

    Unfortunately, I didn't get to read your replies before this all went down. After posting my call for help, I felt a small spark of hope grow within my mind. It was subtle, but enough to get my ass out of bed and into the gym. There, I fought the weakness that is temptation, as I pushed myself far beyond my physical boundaries. I starved who I was, and fed who I wanted to be.

    By posting here, I regained a small part of myself. I felt hopeful again. I did not feel alone in this.

    @Health is key , @Hippolytus , @RepentMySins , @Jesum9 , @Dr. Jekyll

    I thank you all. Your belief in me, have strengthened my belief in myself. I may be one man, but I am not alone in this. I will continue fighting. 2017 is my year.

    You definitely did the right thing there man. Even before I started with NoFap I threw out my Fleshlight. The pleasure you get off those things is just too intense to be natural, it was starting to become a substitute for real-life sex and that can't ever be a good thing. Good luck with your journey!
