90-Day PMO Reboot Day #6

BP v2.0 2018

New Fapstronaut
I'm a 56-year-old Christian man, married for 32 years, and addicted to porn for 40+ years. My wife left home, I started 90-day PMO Reboot the next day (I'm nearly done with Day #6). Preparing for long, difficult, uncertain path to recovery. I'm seeking to recover physical, mental, and spiritual health. Further seeking to repair (to the extent possible) damage to my wife, our marriage, and our family. I'm seeking to build a brand new life fully free from the terrible, comprehensively destructive, and evil porn habit I permitted to enslave me for nearly my entire life. Only 6 days into Reboot, and yet (for the very first time ever in my life) I hold a small shred of hope/believe that life free of porn is possible. I'm hugely thankful for NoFAP.
 
Never give up. My dad struggled with this into his 50s also. He’s 66 now and free from it all. I can tell a difference, he’s not faking it. It was tough for him for so many years but all relationships have been restored and enhanced. Now here I am at 40 trying to kick it. Glad you are here!
 
Welcome. Glad you are here.

Take some time to read the reboot material (available here => http://www.nofap.com/getting-started) and come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good advice, so don't skip it! :)

Perhaps start writing a journal - if you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

Also, try to add something into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't engage in PMO. Think about doing:
Something you enjoy
Something you're good at
Something important
Something for somebody else, without thought of reward (and if you DO get an unintended reward, do something ELSE, perhaps for a different person or group).

Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other. For example, I received the above good advice from a far more experienced member of the community who shared his knowledge. Don't just stay within your own age group or part of the world. Share your knowledge in a respectful way.

This is a great post about what lies ahead of you during the reboot. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/time-to-be-done-with-this.140257/page-26#post-1442099

This is a fantastic way to explain what you'll be feeling during your reboot.

Read, learn, apply.

Look around the forums, get to know people. Everyone is friendly, and will try to support you. We're all in the same boat here. :)

Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

I wish you a successful reboot.
