    Hi all,

    I'd like to write this intro to date stamp how my life is now and I believe porn addiction has been a major factor limiting my success and relationships.

    I'm 44 and I got divorced yesterday, have two young kids and do not have a visa to live near where my ex has taken the kids. While I am strong enough to accept my inability to meet my exs needs as the primary cause to this, I have not been strong enough to address my porn addiction to prevent this.

    I recognize my need to reboot the brain and break this cycle to be more compassionate and get more stuff done in my life.

    I've always been able to come up with great entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities but they get to a point then I become distracted by porn and ineffective in my work.

    This addiction started in my early teens and, other than two short periods or other periods of sexual promiscuity, has always been with me.

    Thanks for allowing access to this forum and for your support.
    Namaste
     
  2. Hey @Long walk ,

    Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place. My experience here is that I needed to learn the program and also get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free.

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    L
