    Hi everyone.
    I'm, oh, a few hours fap free. I've never really taken it seriously, even though porn addiction caused me to fail out of college - fapping till morning then missing classes.
    I've recently started down an even more destructive path with BDSM porn causing anxiety, sleep loss, financial stress, and it's leading toward a decline in self esteem and depression.
    I think that I need nofap to help me get out of this mess.

    Any input is welcome!

    Welcome! I just earlier joined this site too! May I suggest SA=Sex Anonymous? It is a 12 Step based recovery program. Reason I suggest this. I am an alcoholic and addict. The 12 steps help me tremendously. They can be used for any addiction.

    Hey @A S ,

    I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

    Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

    What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

    First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

    Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

    Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

    That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

    --> L

    PS:

    One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

    Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

    There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start.
