family

I am married, have a 6 year old child and a smoking hot wife. I used to be very active but really since I started using porn as a crutch I have been lethargic. I don't know where to begin. I hate myself for watching porn, my wife hates it and it breaks her boundaries. Sometimes I have the urge...

Hello to everyone, Im Kaja and Im for few years fully healed from self abuse. Before I stopped It was long and difficult way to defeat my sexuality. And nobody helped me. I can not tell it to my friend because all af them acted like sluts (PMO, premarial sex, etc.) and even to my parenst because...

I was listening to the "Art of Manliness" podcast (corny sounding name but seriously worth checking out) and he recently had a psychologist on who works with men who suffer from "enmeshment" with their mothers. Enmeshment means you put your mother's needs over your own needs, can't set...

I have P addiction since I remember myself. For the first 20 years of my life it hasn’t caused so much problems actually; however, years later I’ve realized that I have a huge problem. I have partial sexual disability – cannot finish any sexual act without watching P. I’m a doctor and I have a...

I'm an 40 yr old, who has been watching porn since I was a teenager. When I first watched a DVD I bought from a sex shop in London, I never knew that it would change my life as an adult forever. I recently ended an eight-year relationship with the love of my life. I struggled to feel anything...

The Huge Battle in response to "" i have few questions as means of exploring and building a better alternatives in the lifestyles, so here on the forum those who are around long enough are quite aware of personal development on the individualistic level, then lets say - what advice would you...

The last 7-Years have been very trying. My husband and I have experienced an extremely difficult yet blessed 7-year journey in overcoming our abusive childhoods together and the abuse from our family systems that resulted in early porn addiction and trauma for both of us, which our family...

I first heard about NoFap in 2016. At the time, I didn't think I was addicted to porn. I always thought addiction meant "severe" addiction but addiction really does look different for everyone or perhaps I was just in denial. At the time, I had a door to door job which for some reason I liked...

Hi everyone, I am new to NoFap. I am married. I immigrated to the USA recently, but my wife and kids currently live abroad. I expect my family to come to the USA in the 2nd half of 2023. While my family and I live in different countries, I want to put myself together. Reading the "Getting...

Addiction becomes giant when we remain free all the time So make sure You don't have time to think about these thoughts and watching them in mobile Make sure You don't use mobile much. Only tip that works

Hey , Idc if somebody is reading this or not but I am writing this to my future deepanshu - bro , your father worked like a hell and you are not worth it in any ratio to be there child because they do so much hard work to feed me and I am doing this fucking bloody shit which ain't give you...

I'm just asking this, because I ended one last week Wednesday. She basically threw the last straw at me and I have the comment still in my eyes. But what is the point of friendships/relationships? I've been told that they don't last forever. I'm theoretically starting to believe this to be...

As we know narcissists tend to be callous, unemotional, and lacking in empathy. It's impossible to live with them and not be the target of such malicious schemes. I recently discovered my biological father to be a narcissist, with a strong inclination to Sociopathy. It made sense to a lot of...

Today, after another relapse from this ongoing streak of urges and failures, I think I have finally found the root cause of my PMO problem. And that is... loneliness and repressing myself from being open to people and from making friendships and relationships. I know that it isn't stress from...

My DH and I have been together 7 years. Around the first year of dating I found he was visiting several dating/hookup sites under a fake profile with intentions of sending sexual messages and trading photos. No meet ups while we were together as I saw everything. However, he did lose his...

Hi, Here's another reason porn and masturbation are terrible, terrible. I have started myself at the age of 10. It is when my mental state got worse year after year. I was told to be - almost everyday - a bright kid, all smile, curious. All this fap has made it worse and made me a very angry and...

It's Day 15 for me and I've been feeling just kind of off today, feeling more sad and anxious and lonely and unmotivated to do the work I have to do today more than ever. My mom knows about my porn addiction because I've told her about it a while ago. For context, my mom is radically...

Hello Everybody! I'm Dave and I'm almost 34 years old from Italy. I'm married to a wonderful being and I have a baby girl of 18 months. I'm still working on me so right now so some things in my story are really a guess but I'm planning on take my life on my hands. I also am sorry if some of...

I wonder how often I see people who have divorced parents and if there view on family have change. I want to know how many of you are dissatisfied with situation like I am.

Tonight I'm planing to open up about my addiction of PMO to my dad tonight. I've been thinking about doing this for a while now but it recently escalated when he gave me a lecture on work ethic when he caught me not studying during exams - I let him think that I've been playing video games...

sexomnia. I made another thread a few min ago. Sorry if I'm breaking any rules. My addiction of 15+ years has manifested as unconscious physical activity. What started out as solo PMO and seemingly harmless teenage activity. Has now become a home wrecking danger to my children. My wife has...

I often think about this, a few years ago my parents divorced and I had to choose a side as it is often a case. At the very beginning, I knew I'd choose Dad's side, because obviously something was wrong with my mom, arriving home late, taking my sister's clothes, makeup in the evening you know...

I've been religious all 19 years of my life along with my very loving family. I just graduated, have held a job for over 2 years, am going college in fall. I am still dependent on my family but they keep forcing church on me but I really just want a break from religion as I feel it has prevented...

I used to be an ignorant meat-eater, but two weeks ago, I decided to go vegetarian mainly for health reasons and it was a step in the right direction for me. I actually feel better about myself now than ever before. My digestion has improved and I have so much more energy. I also feel more...

hey guys, I just wanted to introduce myself and wanted to say what a supportive community you have here. I have been dealing with porn addiction since i was 12 years old. I am now 29 married to a beautiful woman and expecting a bub soon. Porn is ruining my life. I have tried abstaining for a...

Hey this is Shantnu Das, from faridabad (Delhi, India). Porn has ruined my life and I am trying to rebuild it. I am currently 30 years old. I have been cheated on by girls and I have been reduced to being a nobody cuz of this disastrous habit. I am currently 4 days plus into NoFap and my...

Hi I’m a 31 yers old man from Mexico and I’ve discovered that i’m addict to porn and masturbation because it got me to divorce since I suffered of erectil disfunction. I’ve lost the woman I love for this and stress , lose plans, dreams and almost lost the desire to live. Thank god and my...

Hello, I have been at this for a couple weeks now. I have been very angry, especially in the past couple days. When will this even out? When will I feel happy again? When will I stop being grouchy and mad at those around me?

Okay so here's the deal, since we all feel down and lonely at some point everyday, which might eventually lead to depression and PMO. So taking some time out everyday and talking to some of your close friend (old friends and cousins included) even for as less as 10-15 minutes will completely...

For people who are in PMO recovery, do you tell your family and friends about it? I get the sense that my family and friends have always figured something was "wrong" with me (how couldn't they), even if they didn't know exactly what it was. Now I'm in recovery, but they have no clue about that...

I am wondering if religion, specifically Christianity, is/has been beneficial to me and my PMO recovery or not. I was raised as a Christian, my immediate family and extended family are devout Christians. My brother has been more involved in going to church it seems. My uncle out of nowhere...

Hi! After 5 years of orbiting around NoFap, and 12 years of PMO, I finally decided to do something about my addiction and made a public commitment to quit. In my case, masturbation resulted in premature ejaculation, which makes me so freaking anxious about sex, that I started escaping...

Hi Everyone. So joined NoFap yesterday and I am really excited to keep goining on this journey, obviously this has been something I have wanted to stop since like highschool, but never managed. I always tried my best but never really succeeded. I hope now that it is official and I can see that...

Hello fellow Fapstronauts, I just thought I would share a little bit about my experience with my PMO reboot. It has been 18 days since I decided to change my life. I am 31 years old, I am married and I have known my wife for 12 years although we have been married for 6 years. We have 3 children...

Hi NoFap, My name is Tyler and I am just joining NoFap. I live in Utah with my beautiful wife, my 8 month old son and our dog. I've been addicted for much of my life to porn and masturbation. I've tried everything (or at least it feels that way) from SA to church recovery groups to therapy...

Here's a thought: In real life, sex may feel good (I've never done it, but I can still imagine). However, it is also very risky. Not only do you risk impregnating a woman (if you're not looking to get kids), but you also risk obtaining an STD. If you get an STD this way, that can seriously...

ONE of my self-improvements, is looking at spending more time with people that make a positive influence on me. Those that inspire (and can also help me) on making me a person. Motivated and more focused on self-improvements, reaching and achieving goals I’ve set myself to do. I’m lucky and...

We think gratitude is important. It helps us heal from addiction, depression, and negative thought patterns as we realize that there are so many good things in life. The aim of this journal is to share personal stories of gratitude with each other. These stories may be about a person in our...

Hello everyone. I'm going to be turning 31 this year. I am married and have a son who is 3 years old and a daughter on the way. PMO has pretty much killed any emotions and love I have had for my wife. We have been married for 5 years. Nearly all of that time I have been addicted to PMO. I have...

I came across this article and thought I'd share it here. It might be beneficial for anyone who is in a relationship and has a family. The article is about a man who signed a family contract with his wife so he wouldn't neglect his family. Here's opening part of the article: “Congratulations...

Yeasterday i was on a trip in Greece with my family. I like to drive when we go on those trips with a car, because i like to learn and be a better driver for my near future on long road trips. -During the trip on the car i was angry with my father for something and he shouted so loud. It was...

For awhile I've thought about that, what would my Mom think? How would she respond? To be honest my Mom isn't always the most positive person, so I'm tore I don't want to keep it a secret but I don't want my Mom's sometimes negative energy to disrupt my journey. Don't get me wrong my Mom is a...

In my years as an addict to PMO, I struggled a lot with seeking help from people like my family, friends, and community. However I found that other people are a invaluable source for your self improvement, and I wanted to share something that one man in particular told me amidst my struggles...

I'm interested to hear anything you all have to share about telling close friends and family about your PMO addiction. For years I kept it a secret, and it really was killing me to bear it alone. But I did share my problem. I have to date told my wife, my sister, and a couple of good friends...

Hey Folks. Newbie here. Male, 20, nearly 21. Lots to get off my chest, hopefully it can help you relate. Background Here's the run-down. (I'm very careful about keeping my public image, so nobody's heard this story before. Here goes.) I first discovered masturbation in my early teens/late...

Hello Everyone, After years and years of so much pain, sadness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more, I have finally come to realize where the root of it all started. Just at a simple click of a button. I have a beautiful loving and caring girlfriend. We just moved in...
