    Hey! I am a 24 y/o male on this journey to freedom so to speak. I have been stuck in this for well over 10 years now, but haven't tried to seriously get myself clean until more recently - only to realize how difficult it was going to be. I am engaged to get married at the end of June and am seriously afraid that this habit will get carried over into my married life. My fiancé knows of the struggle I am going through and is trying to be as supportive as she can in my path to freedom. I have been trying to free myself for the past 2 years, but much more seriously within the past 6 months. Any advice would be very welcome!

    1. Dont stop trying and be honest about everything, its only in the light the darkness cannot exist.
    2. Find the motivation, be angry at porn and not yourself.
    3. Get to know your triggers, map them and prevent things before they happen.
    4. Suffucate the enemy that is porn with your burning desire to clean from something that is ruining your life and those close to you.

    Anyone in here can come with advice. All of our lives have been ruined in some way by porn, some more than others. Read, learn and educate yourself about this enemy.

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and not judge you.

    What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Well, currently I am talking to a counselor once a week, and staying accountable to my fiancé. So we made an agreement that each time I screw up I have to let her know by the end of the day. This works to keep me away from PMO for typically around 2-3 weeks, but not any more past that. Basically I am trying as many different things all at once to keep myself from relapsing. I have cancelled all of my social media accounts that I was using, but boredom at work is typically what causes my relapses, since I can't exactly take a walk or do some exercise to keep my mind busy or anything.
