Hi i'm new to NoFap

Congratulations for starting your journey. I believe that one of the biggest parts of overcoming this addiction is to believe that you can. I think that often finding support in real life can be extremely beneficial. I recommend you look at the various forums to gain tips and inspiration. Just remember that you have so many people who are experiencing similar challenges and we’re all in it together. Does your girlfriend know? I know you can do this. You got this! Good luck!

 

Hello Erik, welcome to the site. It sounds like you're off to a really good start by having a plan for what you want to do and why you want to do it. You already have a short term goal of seven days, which is one of the first things I recommend to newcomers. If you haven't already, start a journal in the "Reboot Logs" section. It will help you document your thoughts and experiences as you go through the seven day reboot, and then on to future goals.

Like @Wolfgirl said, believing that you can do this is the biggest factor in how well your reboot goes. Attitude is a close second in my opinion. If you feel like you are "giving up" porn and you miss it like an old friend, you will have a much harder time than if you view it as a cruel monster that you are fleeing from and lucky to escape. Best of luck to you my brother, I will be following you on your journey.

 

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.

Hey, welcome to the NoFap community : )

It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

Allow me to 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 a careful look at each section in the forum, 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 one another 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.


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