Hi everyone

Hi everyone

I'm Ali (Ari is Japanese for Ali). I found this forum from googling and I'm struggling with refraining from masturbation. I don't really have issues with pornography and sexually explicit materials as I don't have motives to indulge in them anymore. However, I watched a lot of porn when I was a teenager and that affected me a lot.
Me in a nutshell:
- University undegrad student (aspiring to be a linguist)
- loves to read, meditate, travel,work out, eating healthily
- spiritually oriented with flavours of Zen Buddhism, Hermeticism and Kemetism
- I'm INFJ

My avatar is a meme of Stefan Burnett aka MC Ride, the frontman of a band called Death Grips.

I'm grateful to be part of such an empowering movement, I really like the brotherhood mentality here.

 

Thanks for your messages guys. My current strategy to avoid PMO is to keep myself occupied with other things when urges arise (things that drive me towards my life goals), take cold baths to bolster mental fortitude and infuse my daily routines with motivational resources such as Emergency NoFap mobile application. I'm open to suggestions/ideas on refining my strategy.

I'm also partaking in 30 day challenge of no PM.
