    I think it started in kindergarten when I hid at my grandmothers house so I could cut out pictures from the bra section of the sears catalog. I got caught, but the embarrassment never slowed me down. It continued all through elementary school after I found my dad’s stash of magazines and then skinamax late at night in my bedroom. Now, with porn at my fingertips any time and any place, it’s gotten out of control. Thanks to a CNN article, I’m here and ready for a change. Im ready to be a better husband, father, son and person. Reading the welcome manual last night, it was refreshing to see that my symptoms of sometimes ED with my wife, short tempered with my family, no motivation to do anything useful, the lists goes on and on, it was refreshing to see that not only am I not alone, but they can all be traced back to a negative action that I’m taking part in. I’m hopeful that joining here is my first step to freedom. But I need some help, not only in my journey, but also figuring out how to use this site. I’ve posted in the accountability partner section and I’m hopeful I’ll find some guys to walk through this journey with me. I also want to start a 90 day standard mode challenge, but I don’t know the next step. Is there a group I join on the challenge forum or do I just start a journal in the +40 journal section? The last is my counter, I put in a date and time, but I can’t tell if it’s working. Thank you all in advance for encouragement and support. I’m more than ready to make a change.

  3. Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

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

    Thank you for the reply. I’ve started a journal in the 40+ section. I’m assuming that’s where that goes. And I’ve been reading and keeping up with several different forums. It has definitely help me to see I’m not alone and that my symptoms/actions are not just me. I’ve learned a lot in just a couple of days.
