If you reading this I congratulate and appreciate your efforts for choosing a beautiful life. I thank you to take your valuable time to read this and welcome your worthy suggestions in my learning stages.

I am a male of 24 years time on earth till now. I started using magazines and newspapers celebrities initially for PMO when I was in ninth standard. At that time it gave me a high in life to come out of the feeling of poverty I was carrying around with me.

I felt poor and suppressed at that time due to my family conditions and alcoholism of my father. Although I was very good at studies but a shy one and feel inferior about myself in school. So I rarely talked to any girl till my graduation.
The cycle of PMO is chasing me nearly for 9 years and I started to focus a lot on all this and put my all energy in this rut. But I was never aware that it was an addiction I thought that I am doing consciously every time to feel good and my drive is somewhat higher. But all these rationalizations are lie each time after PMO I felt more depressed and self love is slowly faded. I always tell to me that this would be the last time but I relapsed again and again. I figured out that this is the cause of my depression after the braekup of my three months beautiful relationship.
Then I took responsibility for my life and started to stand upon my values. I read a book named POWER OVER PORNOGRAPHY for 42 days and it helped me to achieve a first time streak of 97 days. But yesterday I relapsed and I accept this as a part of my journey rather than blaming myself I tuned up to find the mistakes and learn from them. So I decided to join this supportive community for regaining my strength for a loving life.


Remember there is space between our stimulus and response and utilising that space for a positive choice is all a beautiful life. Wishing you a beautiful journey ahead.
 
I can relate to you in so many levels. My time is 8 years. I'm an even greater failure than you. I can barely go for 2 days without relapsing, If that is what it's called. I just posted above you! So do read it. It'll tell you more about my pitiful journey.
I'm there for you. I wish you nothing but the best in your life.
 
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.

Hi and 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.
