A Plea For The Truth

Fapstronaut
Hey guys,

New fapstronaut, here. Made the account today and resigned myself to the last of masturbation (for some time) and porn (for good, I hope), as well. Tomorrow, no matter what answer I get to the questions I want to ask, is a new era.

But a cloud hangs over me as it has for some time. I have been indulging in limitless self-gratification and increasingly degenerate pornography for many years, now. I am in my mid-twenties now, right about the time your brain is supposed to stop developing. The things I have come to find arousing and what I gratify myself over are so troubling (not in a legal sense, for that I can be grateful) that I feel a splitting of my self-image over them, almost. They undermine my view of myself, my faith, and just as painfully, my relationship with the love of my life.

The questions are roughly interchangeable, really. Will these degenerate attractions and fantasies fade as the brain fog does? Will I be a normal, healthy man again with normal, healthy sexual desires?

Am I permanently fucked?
 
Hi, 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.

Hey welcome to the NoFap forum : )

It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!


First let me go ahead and drop some helpful links for you:

Getting Started Guide / Forum Rules / How to Use the NoFap forums/ Glossary/ NoFap Panic button / Set up your day counter / Rebooting Resources/ About NoFap/ Support NoFap


Here is just some advice:


First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)


Then secondly I just advise you to be active on your profile(as there a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.


Theres a portion of people who love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and give some help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!


Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal/log (in the appropriate section for you) and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.


Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
 
Thanks a lot for the crash course! I will be reading the provided material and beginning my journal later today, the end of the first day on this new path. I'm excited to remain active in the community. The bliss of helping is equal to the liberation of being helped.
