    It's a new year! Time to celebrate the successes of the old year and dedicate ourselves to building on that progress in the new, What are your plans for the new year? Who would you like to be by the end of it?

    The purpose of this thread is to provide Rebooters with a place to share their commitment to abstaining from particular sexual behaviors throughout the entire month. Although it is strongly recommended to make a public commitment, posting in this thread is not required for participation in a reboot.

    New to reboot? Here are some suggestions:

    1. Learn about porn addiction, excessive masturbation, and abstaining from PMO (a process called "reboot" or "rebooting"). Our free Getting Started guide that is advertised everywhere is a great option.
    2. Decide if abstaining from PMO is something that you really want. If you don't buy into the process 100%, you'll probably not make it through the month. If you have decided that you would like to participate, proceed to step three.
    3. Sign up for this month by replying to this thread.
    4. Consider setting up a PMO-tracking day counter to monitor your progress.
    5. Create a Journal Thread and share your progress periodically, preferably on a daily basis. Not only does this help you stay accountable, it documents valuable anecdotal evidence that will ultimately help other people going through similar situations in the future.
    6. Ask questions and get support by posting on NoFap. Help others, too, if you are able to.
    Would you like to participate? If so, please reply to this thread with the following information.
    • Are you not going to allow yourself to masturbate? View porn? Orgasm whatsoever? Not allowing any outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode". For a full list of parameters, see our Rebooting 101 page.
    • How long do you want this challenge to last? By default it is one month, but 90 days is recommended for rebooting. You can't know how long it will take to "rewire" your brain, it widely varies due to individual circumstances. Some people require a year or longer to regain sexual function.
    • What are your goals?
    • Why are you doing this?
    Coming in after this month has already started?

    Don't panic - it is not a problem. Users sign up for NoFap's rebooting events all months long. Just follow the instructions above and jump in at any time by replying to this thread.

    I would like to participate. My goal is no self masturbation. I'm been abstaining from porn for 4 months. I am married, but sex is rare as my wife has gone through menopause (once or twice a month, and usually not full sex). My goal is one month, but will hopefully go longer. So far I've not been able to go for more than 1 week. Currently, I am at a week, although I did have time with my wife yesterday.

    I need to stop this addiction that has taken over my life and stopped me from having success in overall life.
    Am a 37yr old married male. Am married to a beautiful wife but i refrain from real sex because it feels boring because of porn hijacking my brain. I have an open relationship so real sex with other woman is not a problem but i still choose porn instead. Thats my personal life.
    The porn I enjoy watching is mostly transgendered person porn, i accepted the fact that i am probably attracted to trannys and i accept the fact that i could be a bisexual and i dont really care about my sexuality but what i do care of is stopping to watch porn and jack off in front of a screen, i rather suck tits or sucks a trannys cock irl instead of digital satisfaction which is fucking my brain.
    My professional life has been slacking as well. I am a day trader and a fitness trainer and many of my hot female clients are attracted to me but yet i choose to go on my screen and shag on transgendered person porn instead.
    I am a bull irl and i have some cucks who call me to fuck their wife and i really enjoy it but offlate i have been ignoring those requests cause i believe porn makes u beta from the alpha you were. I used to have an onlyfans with subscribers as a side income but now i stopped that too due to me consuming content instead of creating new content. I dont know how it would work with me having an onlyfans and also continue this challenge. Is it even possible? i would like to hear your thoughts.
    My brain has been always foggy because of PMO cause i cannot think clearly in anything, porn always hijack my thoughts and decisions making process and stopping my professional growth. I know i have the potential but my dopamine has been destroyed and the reward mechanism doesnt work no more. I really desperately need to fix this. I have failed 3 times. My maximum nofap was around 3 weeks and then i relapsed and u know the story then it never stops.I decided to join this community and hope we all could help each other grow. I am aware of all the negative effects of porn, dopamine, apathy etc. But yet i fall back into this trap. This is my story!! I wish u all a happy new nofap 2024

  8. I am in, pledging no relapses rest of the month. I had a relapse today after 29 days so I'm proud of my progress, but I've definitely been slipping up the past few weeks getting lazy and apathetic. Recommitting right here, and glad to be back posting instead of wallowing in self-pity.
