Hey all - 35 years old, and been using porn for about 20 years. It became more of a problem with smartphones around. Quarantine has made it a daily exercise unfortunately and the thing that really bothers me is how much of my life I am wasting away looking at porn on my phone. Not really sure where to start here but will be checking in on forums to start. Any advice is appreciated.
1. Stay busy. Busy, busy, busy.(This helps a lot) 2. Know YOUR SOLID REASON not to PMO, try jotting down all the negativity PMO brings you. 3. Try not to think of Porn. 4. When you’re having really strong urges, just try to work out so much so that you don’t have energy left to PMO. 5. Start small:like 2-3 days. Try hard not to PMO. 6. Join Challenges, this way you get motivation from other people as well. Click here to see various challenges: https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?forums/events-challenges.132/ Take it gradually man.

Hey DeerNutz. Welcome to NoFap bro. I've been addicted to psubs and masturbation nearly as long as you. It will take time but will definitely be worth it. As thinking_differently said try to take it slow at first. Also learn all you can about the addiction. Palindromo has a good article that is very informative. I also recommend the Ted Talk - The Great Porn Experiment by Gary Wilson. Very eye opening with regards to porn addiction and excessive masturbation. Should you need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out anytime. Good luck brother and all the best to you.
