    NoFap and Identity

    Hey guys. I want to talk about something that I've been conflicted about for a long time struggling with porn. When it comes to PMOing, I always blamed it for any insecurities/ and flaws I had.

    Does the label "porn addict" remain useful long into recovery?

    Like most of us here I am a porn addict. And yet the last time I looked at porn was October 2016, more than 1,000 days ago. So is it still useful for me to describe myself (and think of myself) as an addict? Do you see yourself carrying that label forever, or is it something you plan to cast...

    15 Days In

    This is my second attempt at NoFap. Last year, I lasted 90 days but was still flatlined. I was discouraged and still felt unconfident because I never saw a change. So guess what I did? Went pack to PMO. Drifted more and more away from the life I want. This time, it's going to be different. I'm...
