Hello, my name is Daniel

Hello friends! let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I first discovered porn around the years during my transition from middle school into high school. I knew during high school from my religious upbringing that PMOing was bad, but it wasn't until I discovered nofap this past summer that I fully understood the disastrous impacts pornography has on my life and the lives of others. I have had various streaks throughout my nofap journey, but as of late I cannot make it past two weeks (my highest streak being 46 days). I had accumulated a good streak of 12 days because I was on spring break, but sadly... I relapsed last night. As useful as the subreddit is in always providing encouragement and advise, it became too easy to go into incognito mode and look up nsfw material. I have now become a member of this community on the nofap website to seek advice without having the temptation of messing around on reddit (I blocked the website on my phone and computer). I hope to be posting and commenting daily here to get me back on track. Thanks for having me guys and girls!

 

Thanks for your quick reply! Yes I do. Although I admit it probably isn't working as well as it should. My main strategy is really to just stay busy and work hard on campus (I'm a senior in college) and really only go home to either eat or sleep. I currently have every website I could ever use for PMO restricted on my phone and computer and have intrusted my friend to hold on to them for me, so that I cannot access them easily.

The thing I need to work on most is meditation and acknowledging the urge and activitely doing something against it. Normally I get the urge or cue and kind of naturally go with it until I inevitably relapse.

 

Thanks man! I really appreciate your help and your positivity! I really needed it having been in a rut for sometime
