hope

my husband has been a porn addict since age 12... does that mean he has never realy experienced real sex? Real relationship?? Does that mean it’s going to take a very long time for his brain to reboot after quitting?? Is there any hope?

This is a particularly sad occasion for me. I thought I could take actions to prevent myself from watching porn and masturbating but they all failed. Self-will was not enough. I have successfully overcome substance use disorder with drugs and alcohol and should really know better than to try and...

So I am going good with no P. But I am not seeing the benefits so many describe as yet just over 30 odd days in. I am not sure how much it us the cloud of the pain of separation from my wife. I have moved into a room near the family home in the home of being close to and seeing the kids. Tonight...

Hello Nofap community, my username is 1Aspiring3, I am addicted to online pornography; I have an addictive personality and a wealth of experience in a variety of addictions-none of which has been more difficult to abstain from than pmo. As an addict I find myself unable to stay motivated for any...

"Shout out to my ex Gotta say thanks for the stress, If not I'd have never left Then never been blessed with my next, ayy" - Andy Mineo Legend I found a moment to sit back and reflect on my past, in a healthy way. Having a rough upbringing is always hard but the way you deal with it can...

HI everyone, i'm the new guy here. I started fapping at the age of 14, well everyone can say that its a common age where puberty hits and being exposed to porn sites. I wish that i knew the dark side of porn and masturbation earlier. Well as a student, quite challenging cause with brain fog that...

Hey everyone, Reached my initial goal of 90 days Hard Mode. This took more than 90 days though and a couple of smaller streaks, binge MO after every streak, mood swings, depression, anxiety (which is still there..i guess some of it should be there),restlessness, physical pain, flatlines...

Hey there, i got a bit of a problem lately. I´ve been seeing this close friend of mine for quiet some time now and when i am with her (at her home or mine) it´s like a relationship. We chill together, have fun in our free time and in bed and are enjoying endearments (thats just a small part and...

Yes guys you heard it right i made it .This is the most beautiful thing i have ever done inmy life .Let me first share my stories then i will give you some suggestion to make your life awesome . Month back i decided to quit PMO completely ,earlier also i tried a lot but every time i failed .In...

Hi guys Like the title says, that's how I would describe myself. I never did anything, no club, no medal, no sport. I used to stay home watch TV with my mom and sister, while my classmates and younger brother were socializing. I always told myself, that " I'll be social when I'm older."...

Hi everyone, As the title says, I ve just started a nofap campaign hoping that I will get rid of erectile disfunction. I used to PMO 3-4 times a week during my relationship and of course that this thing destroyed my sexual appetite and in the end my relationship. I have a luck of trust, a fear...

Antony Robbins said that one important key toward setting a goal is to have a compelling why. I want to start off this thread simply to list of the benefits I would get(the carrot) and a list of what it will cost me if you do not follow through(the stick) I encourage all of you to do the same...

Hi everyone, Just letting you know that it has been 15 days for me without PMO. I never got this far. I hope I can learn from all of you and continue my journey. Best regards,

I haven’t been sober very long, but I can tell you that things will get better. Please, don’t give up. You might feel like your trapped in an infinite war, but you’re not. People like you and me are just people who got a little lost along life’s winding path. It can seem dark and scary, I know...

I am proud to write that I reached 7 months PMO free. I am a girl btw:emoji_information_desk_person: thanks to God, my family, R tribe app and the accountability partners I found on nofap now i would like to find a nice guy who treats me good even though I haven't done my reboot in order to...

I've been addicted to porn since I was 14.I'm 21 now. Thats seven years. Everyday for seven years. At first it was the most fun thing I could do when I got home from school. I was having a particularly hard time at school. My friends at the time were really into sports and I wasn't, I was always...

I am in France but I had friends that moved to the UK couple of years ago and they are experiencing very racist behaviours towards them. They are really getting fed up with this shit. Insults that they would have never received in the UK before the Brexit vote but now Europeans are easily...

Hello Fapstronauts! I am 31 years old and new to NoFap. I registered because I have been trying to abstain from pornography since February 2017. My personal record is 30 days No-PMO, which I achieved around March. I never hit the 14 day mark ever since, not because I was constantly relapsing...

So you are probably here because you fell in the trap and masturbated. Now, you feel unworthy, putty of yourself and all you think is all your struggling to get to 5 days without PMO went down the drain. Okay I get it. But, I am here to tell you that it doesn't fucking matter no matter how many...

I bought this computer for fap only purposes months ago. Its so weird having it back in the house knowing that this machine helped in destroying not just my relationships with people,but myself in general. Its sad and depressing to think what pmo did to me. I hope this sadness is enough for me...

I heard about NoFap from a reddit post and felt like giving it a try. I was trying to stop this habit from last few months and just couldn't control the feeling for more than few days. I just gave up every time convincing myself , but then feeling really guilty after i finished masturbation. But...

Since I started I've always tried to stop. I don't know if this will be any different but I hope it will.

You know I never would have thought I'd find myself on a site like this but then again I never would have thought I had a problem with porn until I took a real long hard evaluation of myself. So to tell you all about me I am 29 and single. I have a degree in mathematics and working towards a...

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...

Just wanted to share that I am at 13 days. I am horny as a toad. But my junk is limp like a biscuit. I am always concerned of when I am going to fall. It just feels inevitable. If you pray please say a prayer for me...that I will be courageous in this unseen battle.

Hello everyone! My last "60 days clean" success report can be found here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/married-and-not-looking-back-60-days-clean.86057/ Today is day #232... What have I learned so far? There is one BIG thing which I had learned which I really want to share...

I want to share this video with every sex addict. Both males and females. I bumped into this video randomly about a year ago on youtube I was trying to understand why I became a sex addict, the causes that brought me to sex as my main addiction. Why did I turn to sex instead of food, drugs or...

A couple of wks ago I found my husband's stash. I became suspicious that something was wrong because he started suffering from ED. Also, when we were together he had like a blank stare, there was no eye contact...He used to stare at the walls or the light fixture, like he was not there. Now I...

Hey fellow Fapstronauts, So I've been in this vicious cycle of rebooting and falling down for a while now and I know if I want to see lasting change I need to do things differently than I have been - I've gotta go all in, that's why I decided today is the day. Today is the first day of the rest...

Hi. Relapsed again, i feel like i dont have control over myself. Its depressing. Ive been struggling for years, trying to make peace with myself. I havent been here before, talking with people, but i did tried rebooting before, many times. Most tries lasted a week, usually until sunday when i...

Hi all, I am a 27 year old law student with one more year of school left, who is tired of this affecting my grades and what I do with my free time. My last and only serious girlfriend and I struggled with PIED, and since I started law school I have not had a serious relationship with anyone. I...

I'm writing this introduction because I just want to be honest with myself and the rest of the online world. I masturbate as means to allow myself to feel better, and as a solution to forget about all of my other problems. However, through the process of relying on this one activity as a source...

Hello. I have been feeling weird for almost 20 years now. At first it was using drugs that I guess messed my chemistry a bit, in the beginning weed suited me quite well but after a couple years I started getting way too mental, disconnected from my feelings, and afraid. I stopped using drugs...

It's been a complete year now that i reached this mark. A month of no PMO and counting. I won't be writing some long essay story to express my experience but i will highlight some points to play my part in inspiring others. I joined this website back in march and since then i have seen my ups...

102 days of kicking ass porn and masturbation free! I feel amazing. Stronger, more focused, healthier, and more confident. The combination of all of the success I am experiencing has created a healthier state-of-being than I have undergone in years. I'd like to spend some time discussing how to...

I did it! 90 days without pulling my pud, beating my meat, fapping, or choking the preacher! And no porn! And I did not just "squeak" through, I followed a very focused and intentional plan and not only came through this very strong, but as a better man. I will now outline what I did. I cannot...

I want to get out of it. I want to become natural. I want become Human

As of today, I have achieved 83 days P/M free, and only 7 days away from my long term goal of 90 days. I cannot fully articulate the inordinate amount of freedom I am feeling, as compared to the former life of bondage I was living with porn addiction. At the risk of sounding cliche, truly, I...

I've struggled with addictions my whole life it seems, 42 years now. I realized today, again, that porn, sex, ejaculation is my longest standing addiction. I've been through AA, the torture of nicotine use and other types of addictions, but I've never honored my ejaculation addiction. Now...

Hope this helps some people. Backstory In 2015, I developed anxiety. I've always been a very happy, sociable person. But anxiety slowly accumulated around the community development work I do and my efforts being "successful" or not. I soldiered on for a year, being the voice of hope for my...

hello friends, This is Jesse Pinkman. I'm an 18-year-old male. Well, that's not my real name though. This is the first time ever I'm trying to express my problem with my porn addiction, that's the reason for using a pseudo name. Fapping has been my problem since 2015. I totally ruined my life...

I had attempted reboots several times and have failed many times because I went about it the wrong time. Marking Xs on your calendar day by day and waiting for your penis to return to glory is not a roadmap to success. Honestly, who gives a shit about some dumb 90 day milestone. Gentleman...

Introduction: Hello friends. I am Fateh and i am 26 years old man. I have been addicted with P & M for over a decade now. Before coming across this forum i considered myself the biggest masturbator and porn addictor of all time. If i collected my semen that i ejected through masturbation, i am...

Hello all, I joined this website early July 2016 and last time I masterbated and watched porn was July 25,2016. It has been the best decision of my life and as of today I can finally see the benefits. Backstory is I'm a 19 year old and I had BAD PIED when I started and I was attracted to my...

I've decided to improve my life by giving up porn. I'm a 40 year old man, a good (I believe) husband and dad but I feel I'm wasting my time on seeking worthless visual thrills instead of enjoying worthy stuff, enriching my personality and spending quality time with my wife & kids. What's been...

Im writing this on the evening of my first 17 days. This is first time in probably 6 years ive made a conscious effort to abstain from any form of porn or masturbation. Dont think its even necessary to mention what a roller coaster the past few days have been. The first 2 weeks id say was the...

Hi, I'm 18 and I have been having social anxiety/depression/anger issues for a few years now. I started watching porn around 7-8 and fapping around 12-13. I finally linked it to my porn use when I discovered PIED (I wasn't physically able to have sex with my girlfriend at all and she dumped me...

hi !!! my very first post here ... today was a great day cuz it is my very first day NoFap .. it was a day with some urges but it didn't affect me and guys just have a question: how can i get likes ,friends here in the forumes ??!!

Hi all! I am over 40 with a great family but PMO has plagued me since I was 11 when I found a LGBT porn magazine in the woods behind my house. I feel like my issues with PMO are wildly complex and have suffered with it for decades. I honestly don't know how to break free and have just come...

It's amazing how well I did when I was full of hope. I was going to a top school for a top major with lots of prospects; and despite the stress, was for the most part able to be free of PMO. The hope of a better life provided the motivation I needed to keep healthy habits in place and avoid...

Day 1 of my PMO-free journey. Had some urges to watch porn, but was instead pushed here to write about it and conquer my demons, I AM stronger than this! The goal is to make it at least until New Year, as a personal goal, which should hopefully open up my eyes and get me going further into...

Hello all today marks day 6 of my journey and the first day that I am using NoFap I have had enough of PMO it has ruined my life has made me less confident. It is such a shame I used to have so much energy but since I have started masturbation which started when I was 13 I have been feeling...

I woke up at 2 AM with some crazy urges. I kept trying to write them off, and simply closed my eyes and tried to sleep. Didn't help I eventually thought about awesome it would be if I were married and had a wife to be with instead of going to this porn. Big mistake. Honestly it would have been...
