sobriety

I'm just writing here to look for some confort and possibly understanding. I am a sex addict. Have been in recovery for about 10 years from prostitution and online sex untill, since last year I started slipping occasionally, then more frequently, mainly with porn and cam. After so long in...

After having abstained from alcohol for over two weeks, I can only admit how great it feels staying away from this poison. Although, I have never been a large consumer, a few drinks/beers per week have apparently been enough to make me feel like shite, both physically and mentally. From the...

Greetings. 36 yo male, for background refer to my post on the new section. Have fun! I have quit all of my other addictions, been 3 years sober now, but weekend comes and I dread not having girls to have sex with. I was in a monogamous relationship for the past 3 years, broke up in april, and...

I found out my husband has a porn addiction 6 months ago when he finally disclosed how much a problem this has been. He got involved in SA and says he has been sober since with no relapses. Within a couple weeks we were able to have sex successfully after years of PIED. This lasted a couple...

Hello, guys. I hope you’re doing well. I am a 26-year-old guy and I am a porn addict. What I am trying to say here might come across as a stream of consciousness rather than a well-thought-out post. Be that as it may, I ask you to be patient and see it through. Thank you! I’ve been here since...

I just found this site, I wish I would have found it long ago. I have successfully quit pornography and masturbation for over 5 years. It can be done, it can be sustained. For me the biggest help has been re-calibrating my thinking. Sexually perverse behaviors stem from entitled and...

Today I had my lowest moment in porn addiction and in life. And even then I felt a spirit deep inside tell me everything we do in life is Willingly. I mean this in the most positive and supportive tone possible, but with tough love. No one is going to solve our problems in life for us. It is on...

I am a 28 year old woman. i have been sober since a year and a half (stopped watching p). my first reboot that lasted a year started few months after this ex guy left me 3 years ago. he left me for another girl that started dating at least 2 months before he left me officially. she became a gf...

I haven't used pornography or engage in compulsive sexual behavior in seven years. I never thought I would make it past six months of sobriety. The moment I decided to quit I went through withdrawals and it was absolutely terrible. But, I had a community of support. I found myself in 12 step...

i have been watching the ybop and found it very good. The explanation of dopamine and opioids is making me see clearer my challenges. My fundamental problem seems to be that I’m bored with my sobriety. The excitement of the chase is largely frowned upon and I’m wondering what I should do to...

To celebrate passing 90 days no pmo I want to share a revolutionary idea that explains why the PMO loop is so self-perpetuating and where the exit is. Quick Ted Talk with transcript underneath if you prefer to read...

I'm new to nofap but certainly not new to fapping...masturbation has been part of my life for over 50 years. At first it was a simple release without many consequences, that is until high speed internet porn came in. I found my needle and was injecting it constantly, kidding myself as to the...

Early on, I received a recommendation from my CSAT that’s i should consider going to SAA meetings to maybe find some support in my life. If you have ever attended a meeting before, could you explain what a newcomer like myself could expect?

In the red circle we put the sexual behaviors we want to abstain from, the ones we consider “acting out.” These are the behaviors that we identify as addictive, harmful, or unacceptable for us. In the yellow circle we put behaviors that may lead to acting out, like triggers, or that we are not...

CS Lewis writes of light and darkness as an analogy to heaven and hell. Darkness isn't a thing. Light is a thing. Darkness is merely the absence of light. In the same sense hell isn't a thing but the absence of God. Another good analogy is hot and cold. Thermodynamics teaches us that cold...

Hi everyone, I am excited to be part of the NoFap community and walk with other Fapstronauts in this journey to recovery. I'm a 28 year old male. I discovered pornography when I was hitting puberty around 12 yrs old. I've been hooked to porn and masturbation since then. During my years of...

Hey yall I'm on day 50 something and I gotta be honest, I am incredibly lonely. The days leading up to today have been a lot of isolation besides rehearsals and lessons and services I sing in. I wish I could spend time with someone but it's a small town and Id rather not drink. I downloaded...

Hey all, I just wanted to say that as of 20 minutes ago I have officially been sober for a week's time! It's a short time but I feel so relieved :) The last few days have been tougher on me though. A former stalker of mine reached out to me at work and I had to shut him up in front of some...
