soooo im starting nofap because well ive tried before to quit pm before but have never been truly successful, my addiction i believe started after my time in the navy during dont ask dont tell being a gay black male on active duty i didnt have much choice but to use porn to get my rocks off and tbh i havent stopped since its now to the point i have online clouds of porn folders and while dating i would go through extremes to try and hide just how much porn i saved / used. i knew i had an issue when actual sex would make me upset because it was more work then self pleasure. now ive met the man i wanna marry and spend my life with but my addiction to porn makes him have reservations about our relationship and his worth. so im starting nofap to prove to myself i can, as well as reassure my lover that he was never the issue in anyway.

when i tried nofap before i honestly didnt even know there was a whole movement... well no im here and i wanna get 90 days under my belt make nofap a habit/ lifestyle. and hope i dont ruin my marriage before it begins
 
Hi and welcome to the community

I would recommend you to stay in touch with members and read their success stories. You may also learn tricks to avoid the short-term pleasure and to face the temptations.

Be AWARE of your habits and control what you see and what/who you spend your time with.

It's also important to limit the usage of social media. In addition, never be free! Use your free time as much as possible and do sports, exercise, attend classes, etc.

This video contains everything that you need to know about porn addiction. Lastly, here is a collection of ways to deal with the urges which worked great for me.
