    Hey guys! I've been fapping since about 9 years ago, but now I really hope I can quit this shit! I've had lots of attempts to quit, but I hope this is the last and the most effective one!
    Wish me luck!
     
  2. Hey @Mayhem_8116 ,

    Sorry not going to wish you luck. I'm not evil, I just think that doing a bit of hard work in this program is far better than luck. But, believe me - it's possible and you are in the right place.

    Welcome to NoFap! My experience here is that I needed to learn the program and also get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are a great place to start.

    This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here.

    Hey bud, that's a great choice, porn addiction always harms. It's awesome of you to join in, wish you the best in your journey my friend.
     
  6. Hi,
    You can quit fapping today if you want....

    But you need some willpower to say no.
    It will be easier to say no if you gather some knowledge about your addictive behavior.
    And connecting to others is very helpful in this tough process.

    However, be very welcome and good luck in the reboot.

    I was just going to say this, but @Roady beat me to it. Still, seeing as I like hearing the sound of my own voice (or the BB equivalent thereof), I'll say it anyway...

    It's a tired cliche, I know, but you can do (pretty much) anything you want to. Therefore, your "I hope I can quit" in actual fact translates to "I hope I want to quit". Want it, and it will be so. Don't want it, and no amount of hoping will get you there. Or put it another way (and I can't remember who said this, maybe Henry Ford?): whether you think you can, or think you can't, either way you're right.

    You've taken the all-important step of starting, now follow it up by believing. More power to you!

  8. Sure Rob, just add what you want, that's always welcome!
    Nice words....
    From "I hope I can quit" to
    I hope I want to quit

    But there is more.
    I know I can quit

    And then:
    I truly believe I can quit

    What?
    No matter what will happen but I WILL QUIT
    That's the attitude we need ....
