    Hello Fellow Fapstronauts!

    My "addiction" started in preteens when I discovered porn on cable. It soon manifested to the the internet, which, unfortunately, led to dealing with prostitutes. I've been overweight for most of my life which hasn't brought me much confidence with women. While, I've had a few dates, it never led to anything long term or sexual. I never really saw PMO as a problem until now.

    I am currently in my mid 30's, and still living with my parents. I was able to get my Associates' but can only get short term contract work. I am working on achieving some certifications to improve my employment opportunities but because of PMO, it falls by the waste side. One of the reasons I discovered this site is because of male mentor who suggested that I need to give up my addiction if I want to achieve success in life and dating.

    I've attempted before in quitting. The longest I've made it was about two in a half weeks. I did notice the amount of energy I have, more time to myself and how I become more naturally sociable. I want to have a life where PMO and getting laid aren't my number one priority on my list.

    Thank you for reading my post.

  3. Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    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 strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite 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.

    People (are beginning to) 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, 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 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!

    Thank you for the warm welcome, Tiger uppercut! and Coffee Candy!

    @Tiger uppercut! - I actually completed the guide before making my post. Full of great information that I can't wait to apply while I am on this journey. I already engaged in the 3-Day Challenge so we'll see what happens. Thanks for the links.

    @Coffee Candy - Thank you so much for the advice. Its been awhile since I really got involved in a forum like this, as far as communicating with other members, setting up my avatar and so fourth. I really want to achieve my goals here. Thanks.
