faith

I am an porn addict. I am no longer ashamed to admit it. I've resented myself for years hiding this sickness from everyone I know, including the love of my life, whom I have a beautiful healthy and happy child with. This sickness was embedded into my life when I was far to young to understand...

For context, I am Christian. I was in a conversation about faith and mental health, and I was asked specifically how renewing my faith assisted in my mental health (struggle with depression and anxiety). I did some reflecting and wrote a lot and thought I would share it here: I had been...

Hi to anyone reading this! This journal is my way of letting my thoughts flow out instead of gathering up inside my conscience. Here are my intentions: Quit porn and masturbation all together, not for semen retention which is a by product, but instead to go back to myself. The old me, the...

It is said, by the teachers of old, that one way towards objective morality is through the experiencing of remorse of conscience. In order to tell right from wrong, in an objective sense, one must follow their conscience. "Know thyself" is a familiar phrase that strikes a chord with this...

Many of us fall into the trap of believing we have to "get right with God" first before he can save us. Escaping our porn addiction completely is impossible to do alone. No matter how guilty you may feel, know that God is greater than your feelings and the door to Jesus is not shut on you no...

Hello Everyone, Sorry for double posting here. My heart is heavy after relapse and I really wanted to reach out to the community about this particular topic. I know not everyone here is a Christian or religious but please feel free to chime in regardless. There is no denying that the benefits...

Hi. It's my first time here in a year and I'd like to share with you all how I currently feel about my life and porn addiction. I feel like I've reached a dead end with my life and there's no way out. I'm soon 21 years old and I've wasted my whole youth on porn. I've been feeling bad about it...

Hello everyone, I’m 22 years old, and want to reclaim my own experience of life. (Substance Abuse): I replaced a 2 year vaping habit with reading when I was 18 within 6 months. I’ve been smoking weed since I was 14, and I rarely smoked until 16 when I’d say the addiction developed...

Still do kind of. So much so I can't even write out all the details of my issue. The shame is so powerful I can't be entirely forthright with you here anonymously. I think I could admit it all to a therapist but I have no plans on seeing one. I mean I have admitted it before to one and it made...

Hey guys, I've decided to start posting updates here after each significant number of days as a way of tracking my progress and as a tool for support. A little bit of background, I have been trying to quit this addiction for 2 years now and my best streak was 114 days of no porn over lockdown...

Yesterday I opened up to my fiance. I've been addicted for about 10 years now... No one in my family has ever had any idea. I couldn't tell them... How could I tell them? The shame, the disgust, still convincing myself that none of it was happening and none of it was me. Meanwhile, my...

My fingers are crossed since less than 48 hours I’ll reach my Big 90, thus I found myself obliged & honoured to share my experience of these undoubtedly incredible & fantastic days of NoFap. I praise Lord for giving me a chance to reach this plank. Lessons, that I’ve learnt: Know your...

Hello there, I've just created my account here and I want to share my short story with you. I had started the NoFap challenge 37 days ago and I'd wanted to quit my porn and fap addiction. It was really hard not to watch any porn or sexual video but I didn't fap for the whole month and seven...

Hi guys, It has been the eighth day and I'm super tired. I want to feel normal again, but I don't want to jerk off. I have not been able to ejaculate into my gf due to my porn/masturbation addiction. I need faith that I will be able to rock her world after not self pleasuring for quite...

Is any body from India here? Kindly lemme know

I need to vent so much. happy that nofap exists and on here people can understand me. i feel a lot of grief now. few days ago i was about to relapse due to an emotional disappointment and i just wanted to get drunk, hurt myself mentally in every way possible. i just wanted to punish myself...

I started this challenge about a year ago under a different name. I failed pretty hard back then but it felt good while I was trying to overcome this problem. Now I am struggling with a massive, 20-year porn addiction that has badly damaged my marriage, faith, and career, and led me to...

Greetings fellow fapstronauts! I'm surely on my way to becoming a monk it seems. I have long discerned between two voices in my head: the “little voice” and the “big yeller.” The little voice is the voice of reason, your inner center of truth and higher self that wishes for you to grow...

Hello all, First of all, I want to say thank you for creating an environment like this. I was introduced to porn when I was in the 3rd grade from a friend. Around 5th grade I figured out what masturbation was. I am now a sophomore in college, and my life has ever since been full of lust and...

So, I know that there are many aspects that come in to porn and masturbation and I'm going to explore the reasons I have come to it and what I can find in it that are false perceptions/deceptions. I'm also going to list pros/cons and I really have all this floating around in my head, just need...

18 and trying to get rid of this PMO sickness. Tried going it alone but failed NUMEROUS TIMES. Let's hope this works.

Hello new friends, I grew up a strong, yet naive Christian. I didn't learn to masturbate until I was 22, but the discovery led to an addiction that has deteriorated my life over the past three years. "Innocent" curiosity led to a dependency on porn. Simultaneously, I noticed that more and more...

well, we're in 2018 now... @icnvnu and i have come to the conclusion that we absolutely need to change... health mostly... it's time. time for us to grow. i would like for him to be more serious about his recovery and health... one and the same? i would like for me to be more serious about my...

In my last post, which was sadly all too long ago, I opened up for the first time to this group and gave my testimony. Between that time and now, I managed to go 7 days since a relapse. Now I plan on going until the 6th of January. I fell on Thursday the 28th in the morning, and started my first...

he says he wants to work on it... he asked me to help him delete his Twitter account (that's what he used to hide it from me)... he asked to put child restrictions on his phone... are these steps i should be taking for him? is this helping or just putting a pause on it? i mean, if he's an...

Hey, I’m Jacob. I’m new here. I will admit that my struggle probably isn’t as hard now as it used to be I still am struggling with urges from this addiction that I deal with. Most of the time I will go 5-7 days and then submit. I used to M as much as 4 times a day in my past though. I want to...

That's how I feel sometimes. Sometimes I don't know what I believe and what category my beliefs come under. I was looking at this Christian dating site and quite a lot of these Christian woman want men of faith or men who love Jesus and I don't think I'm either. I mean I think I like Jesus but I...

Mine was 17 days, in that long i ws feeling better than ever, and now i am eliminating the old excuses to relapse so i am hyped again, tell me how much you guys had progress

This is a story of many ... You are tired and sick of what you are doing, you are feeling shame and guilt, you are feeling weak because you have drained your body of its essence, your bones crack, muscles hurt, you are worried about your health, your future, potential opportunities, feeling...

Hey guys! So i have tried nofap for quite a while. I'll go a couple days, then fail. After failing last night i realized i NEED to change. Not only with nofap but many different things in my life. So I'm going to start logging my process every couple of days. Hopefully you guys can help keep me...

I am 22 year old student. I started watching porn around 10 years ago. At such an early age I feel like I wired myself to be able to orgasm only with porn. I am doing this to become a stronger version of myself. Tomorrow it is one month off porn for me. Trying to cut off the bad habits off my...
