    Sadly this isn’t my first time signing up to NoFap, but it really has got to the point where change needs to happen.

    I’ve been an addict of PMO/FMO since I was about 13, and I’m turning 23 in a few days; the combination of this 10-year ‘anniversary’, my faith, my disdain for the porn industry, and a new relationship have given me the slap in the face that I’ve long needed telling me to quit.

    I just relapsed to FMO after a successful 21 days abstaining from PMO/FMO, the longest I’ve managed in years, and I’m convicted to (at the very least) abstain from porn indefinitely - I’ve been following organisations such as Fight The New Drug and Exodus Cry over recent months, and I can no longer stomach my porn consumption.

    I seem to work best under arbitrary time periods when attempting to abstain (e.g. NoFap November), so I hope to abstain as best I can until the end of 2020, and then commit 2021 to a full 90-day reboot and beyond.

    I’ll try to log my journey as best I can, and I wish anyone reading this the best of luck in their efforts to win their battle.

    Hi, welcome!
    Thanks for sharing your story.. I've been an addict since Im 11 and Im 28 now so I can feel you..
    Im sure you have read a lot of threads and good advices but I would like to say my most big advice:
    1. You need to confess. You need to talk with somebody about your addiction. That was the 1st step I made to start my recovery. You should start to think about a person, a really good friend or family member who you trust and love. It gonna take time, courage and it gonna be sooo hard and embarrasing to do it but also going to be sooooooo healing. Don't save anything, be clear and say it loud.. You need to hear yourself sayin I'm an addict! It took me 6 years to do it but when I did it.. my life changed.. and keep that person as an AP.

    That said I just remind you: be patience , be sincere , take care of your mind, soul and body, put blockers, train your mind and read this post:

    This battle isnt easy or fast.. actually is sooooo freacking hard and it takes a loooong time.. I really really hope you can reach your first goal and do what you need to do to start..
    Good luck!
