But I can't imagine living without masturbation, porn..

Well done for deciding to change, that's the first crucial step. I think you need to think about how you get there though.

Firstly, going from PMO regularly to a year of abstinance is really REALLY hard. Hardly anyone can do that, so you might decide to set yourself a smaller goal. Maybe try for 14 days, or even 7, just to get a feel for not having it in your life. When you achieve it, set yourself another longer goal.

Secondly, PMO is an addiction. It can't be got out of your system by doing more of it. So don't try to do more before 2017, that is the opposite of what you should do. Try to do less, ideally none but if you can't do that then just one or two, before 2017.

Lastly, and most importantly, really think about why you want PMO out of your life. What effect is it having on you? What is it stopping you doing? What could life be like if you weren't PMOing any more? Get a clear picture in your mind of what that looks like, focus on it, and achieve your goal.

Good luck!

 

I've never shared those emotions with porn. I would recommend to you to write everything down that porn and masturbating does to you. You will see, your "friend" is not as a good friend as you thought.

 

What helps for me is that I think about people's lives in the past. They had no porn and were much happier for it. To Hell with PMO.

Porn seems like it has a lot to offer but all it really does is numb you.

 

Just FYI, your getting-it-out-of-your-system theory is bs. Is injecting heroin into your veins a good way to get heroin out of your system? No, of course not. Shooting heroin is in fact directly keeping it IN your system. PMO works the same way. If you want to get it out of your system, you have to abstain from it. Loading up on it now isn't going to build momentum to help you abstain on January 1st. It's actually going to create a huge tolerance for dopamine so that on Jan 1 your withdrawals will be that much worse.
If porn is your greatest best friend, then your underlying problem for using porn is easy to identify: you don't have any friends (or at least any "good" friends) and are likely using masturbation and porn to avoid the negative feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Your best bet is to stop PMO now - today. That way on Jan 1 you have actual momentum toward abstinence, rather than momentum towards PMO.

Just my 2 cents. I hope you get up on the horse and learn to ride it. It sure beats laying in the dirt. Best of luck! Sincerely!

 

That's tough love right there. Quitting pmo, and being serious about it, will force you to face the deficiencies and harsh realities of your life. Quitting pmo is just one part of redefining who and what you are. It's a great opportunity to take inventory of yourself and maybe even discover some new talent or passion that you never knew you had. Pushing your boundaries in new ways will also help keep your mind free from pmo thoughts. Good luck, and the best time to start is right NOW, because January 1 is just another day.

 

PMO is great in the little bubble of reality that you live in with yourself and your computer for a temporary time but it is robbing you of your LIFE. Every one said it greatly. It is a drug. You feel great on it but it is making your life way worse. It's an artificial feeling of happiness that is not real life. As you progress with nofap, you'll realize how much of your life was taken away by porn and you'll view this all in a different light. As posted above, start with a goal that is smaller and then prolong the goal as you reach it. Trying for one year straight can sound daunting and lead to relapse.

 

As the others said bro, you better stop it right now. And surely you will not be able to do a straigh month of abstinence, but reducing the frequency is already very importance. You have to reduce the dose.
For a long time I thought porn and sexual fantasies were my friends and part of my person, but I now know that I can get nothing out of them and they are the ones depleting me. I tried for years to extract joy and satisfaction from porn and related stuff, but it never came the way I wanted it and it never was enough and it only pushed me harder into depression and a sense of emptiness.
Abstein from it, accept the challenge. See how it feels to be free from its life consuming grip at least for one week.
Cheers.
