Fapstronaut
Hello Fapstronausts,

I'm a brazilian New Fapstrounaut and i'm happy to join here.
I'm addicted to fap since i was 12 and this haven't been good to me. I realised this when i was 18 when i become a christian, but before this i already had been suffered the consequences of this addiction, the difference of today is that i didn't know. I couldn't concentrate or have a routine of study. Thanks God that i haven't had big problems with relationships, to prove this i say that i have a girlfriend and we are going so well. I told her and to my friends my problem a year and some months ago and they were ready to help me. We create a group of helping to study the Word of God and to make goals for santification and it helped for a time, but it endend and i couldn't help myself.
After that, i tried to follow some plans,prayed many times to God, read about the addiction but could't reach a nice result. I'm not putting the fault on God, this is all my fault and i don't deserve His salvation, but even so he is merciful.

My desires on been clean is to have a better relationship with my God and the people around me, reach a routine of duties like: Biblical,academic and musical studies; and, like i wrote on my status, evaluate even more on the process of santification.

I'm hopeful that this will help me.

Welcome here. :)
I wish you the best of luck. I recommend that you learn everything about this addiction and that you start a journal to keep yourself accountable.

Remember, He will always forgive you no matter what you have done. His mercy is infinite.

i'm using some blockers in my computer and mobile. It helps, but i get excited easily so, some videos on youtube are sufficient to make me fall.

Now i want to use this forum to share my loads and participate of the struggles of others too.

What else do you suggest me to do?

Here is a growing collection of startup strategies compiled from myself and I've added some from others on NoFap. Keep these in mind. This is by no means a be-all-end-all list of suggestions but it is a list for you to use and add to for yourself and modify to meet your needs.
  1. Delete all of the P that you have from your computer and smartphone including the browser history and cookies. This will not stop you but will slow you down.
  2. Identify your triggers. What are the things that you happening in your world to cause you to turn to PMO for escape and comfort! This is the most crucial step in the process.
  3. Once your triggers are identified, determine healthy ways of dealing with those triggers such as exercise, running, leaving the stressful situation and going outside for air.
  4. Follow this link to find out what NoFap is about. Within this link is a link to a glossary of terms commonly used on NoFap. This will help you communicate knowledgeably and more effectively. https://www.NoFap.com/forum/index.php?threads/newbies-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/
  5. Go to http://yourbrainonporn.com/ to learn more about the effect PMO has on you. Do this also to educate yourself on the damage you are doing to yourself.
  6. Guard your eyes. Be careful of what you allow yourself to see. No, you cannot live with your eyes closed but you can determine how long you look at something. If you know it may cause you to fall, flee from it! Run in the other direction, sometimes that need to be literal.
  7. Masturbation... do not keep your hands to yourself. Unless you are bathing, changing your underwear or actually using the bathroom, your hands should be nowhere near your penis. YOU ARE BANNED FROM TOUCHING YOUR PENIS FOR RECREATION!!!:D
  8. Your bed is limited to only the time you are sleeping. No laying in bed other than that. As soon you awake, you should get out of bed. Can't sleep, if awake for more than a few minutes, get out of bed until you are sleepy enough to go to sleep.
  9. Keep doors open unless necessary. You need to be isolated as little as possible. You're less likely to M when people can see you.
  10. Keep curtains and blinds open as much as possible. Similar reason as above and also allows light inside. Many time M'ing is more likely in dark places.
  11. At night, keep lights on as often as possible. Similar to above, lights on may lessen your desire to fap.
  12. If you are a naked sleeper or a boxer sleeper, consider sleeping in a in jockstrap, cup or briefs or compression shorts, something more constrictive so that you are less likely to feel movement while falling asleep or when awaking. They may provide a better barrier to prevent those that subconsciously reach for their penis at night or in the morning. They may also be a visual barrier for those that have morning erections too irresistible to not touch.
  13. Begin a journal so that others can encourage you and connect with you.
  14. Become active in this community. The more active you are, the less time you will spend focused on you. The less time focused solely on you, the faster time goes. There is an old saying, "a watched pot of water doesn't boil any faster", which means for this example, focusing solely on yourself and your issues won't make them go away sooner. It's OK to track progress but when spending more time doing other things that were once important to you and encouraging others, you will notice the time of your sobriety will go so much faster than if you didn't.
This a journey. Unless you began your addiction yesterday, don't expect to have complete victory by tomorrow. It takes time. We are here for you for as long as it takes.
