    Hey everyone so this is my first post.

    I haven’t done the dirty deed for about two weeks now and this is my first day on here.

    This morning I made the mistake of going on a website, looked around for a few then came to senses and came here at which point I created an account.

    Fortunately, there was a very motivational video under one of the tabs this morning which greatly helped, Thank God!

    Do you guys/girls have any tips for a new bro?

    Thanks all and much love!

    Hey thanks for the quick reply, dude is there like a set of “guidelines” or like preliminary adherences that the NoFap community members abide by?

    Welcome brother! Read the About section and the Terminology articles (links at the top) for sure, possibly do some further research as well. Start a reboot log in the Reboot section of the forums if you haven't already, and find a couple of other members to follow. Having some friends on your side and following your journey when the struggles get hard is invaluable. This addiction thrives in secrecy - casting some light on it and exposing the truth will help you greatly.

    Lastly, even if you reset by PMOing, don't get discouraged. Lots of us don't manage to just stop on our first attempt. Some of us (me in particular) have had several falls along the way. It happens. Whatever comes, don't stop fighting to overcome this addiction. The freedom of not living a secret life, hiding in shame, and not being disgusted with yourself is well worth the battle.

    Hey guys/girls,

    What typically goes into a reboot post? Like what is it and what do I do with it

    Here's mine for example. Whatever you want can go in it. How you're feeling, what's working, what's not working, are you doing good/bad/indifferent. Some people like to post a lot, some just a little - whatever works for you. There's no right or wrong answer.

  11. Hey, welcome to the NoFap community
    : )
    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/
    Accountability groups (new!) /
    About NoFap/ Support NoFap

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take acareful look at each section in theforum, there may be something(s) you will find to be of big help to you.

    Secondly I 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 begin posting frequent status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement.
    The forum has got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see.
    People will find your profile and give you support.
    There’s 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 conversations. It would be great to have you join in and become part of the team!
    We support others in the threads, profile posts, and journals/reboot logs.
    Once you receive some support, please be sure and be grateful to the member for the help/support you received and consider giving some in return to anyone you wish.

    Thirdly, you should highly consider creating a public journal/reboot log (in the appropriate section for you) to write about your days in depth for us members to follow along on your journey and offer support to you on.

    Please start your journal in the correct section and with that, also try your best to post in the correct sections as it is mandatory and would be helpful to the mods who organize the forum. : )

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
