    Hi, I have come here to change my life around. I am a Christian and have a beautiful Christian girlfriend of nearly two years. for the past two and a half years I have been struggling with porn. My goal was to hide it from everybody and sort it out myself. Then just a month ago with no success in stopping without telling anybody, I told my girlfriend. She was very supportive but also a bit shocked. Before I told her, I set up multiple blocking systems to block porn out of my internet. But somehow I always found a way to reach it, even finding ways on twitter. So the past month I have not masturbated until today. I have been tempted a lot but I have been trying to stop myself. So I have come here in search of people which will hopefully keep me accountable to my goal of never watching porn or images of pornographic nature again. I just feel like a terrible person whenever I think about any of this stuff.

    Welcome
    Please, start studying carefully what's happening in your mind > https://oceanrecoverycentre.com/2016/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-overcoming-internet-porn-addiction/

    First time without porn will be stressful , but if you resist , in some months you will feel reborn.

    If the first times a person relapse after a week , it's okay.
    The streaks becomes even longer , day by day.
    Don't porn anymore, it's better to struggle and at the last to relapse than to look at porn.
    No more instagram pictures of models. No more erotic imagines , erotic stories or erotic asmr.
    If you experience ''flatline'' and low libido , resist.
    >https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/por...l-size-and-or-libido-are-decreasing-flatline/

    The brain will try to win you and to get some triggers for the seek of dopamine. Resist
    Stay calm , you'll have better times

  5. 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 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 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 sectionfor 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!

    @Day Sunshine ,

    The power comes from everyone on here. Your posts that share your experience are equally important to my recovery as everyone else's posts are.

    Day 1:
    I realised I haven't been keeping a check on myself and letting my commitments slip. No urges today, felt good, I'm just trying to keep myself busy with sports while I'm not studying as that seems to help. I may try studying in a new spot just to try a new way. I forgot about this platform until a week ago and discovered how useful it is so I'm going to always keep it open in my browser so I never have an excuse to not post a daily check-up.
