Hi all, So I just wanted to introduce myself since I finally bit the bullet and made an account on the forums. I've been aware that pretty much all of my problems have stemmed from P/M/O for about a year now, and I've been suspicious for a few. I struggle with ADHD, executive function, confidence, and productivity, among others. It's kind of crazy, but abusive PMO habits have kind of split my persona into two... whenever I am diligent and successful with my abstinence endeavors, I am confident, radiating, productive, blissful and alive. However, when i fall short, i am insecure, sluggish, unmotivated, sad and really not all there. I'm just some sort of sick zombie. I think I've been abusing porn from an extremely early age, really as long as I can remember. I remember abusing PMO as early as age 10/11 and I'm now 22. So I definitely have my work cut out for me. That being said, This past year I decided enough was enough and starting regularly hitting 1 week without PMO, so 2019 was definitely my most abstinent year since starting this nasty habit. I've decided I finally need to kick it now, and I chose to get involved here so that I could actually do that. I'm open to exploring new strategies and new methods, so if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate that! Please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm looking forward to the benefits that this forum has to offer and I hope that I can contribute! All the best, fever

Hi, 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. ֍ You got this my friend ֍
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 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!
