    Hello readers,

    Glad you are reading my introduction. I joined NoFap for the sole purpose to become a part of a community which believes in discipline and to says no to PMO and encourages people like me and others to quit an addiction that has been keeping us not give our 100% in whatever activity we engage in.

    I began this addiction since I was 16. I had a girlfriend back then. I had good grades and always was confident in almost every activity I tried, whether it was sports, studies, social interaction. But then I began watching porn. Now I am gonna turn 23 this December, I have this addiction and really trying hard to quit it, because since then my confidence deteriorated, my grades too, my ability to think straight and logically, and my relationship with all genuinely sweet and understanding girls. Majorly because this addiction was the reason I wasn't able to think straight when it was needed.

    But I have not given up on hope, I have made to staunch decision to completely remove all those thoughts from my mind and I am going 16 days without any PMO, and its showing good results already since I was able to crack an interview today, so all together its a new beginning and since these many days I have had lots of urges to go and jack off, but I know its the addiction that is talking to me and I am not gonna fall for that because that's it!

    I have no specific goals like I am gonna do it because I can get chicks after that, or like 90 day challenge. No sir! I am doing it because I want to rediscover my disciplined side which I loved a lot and to gain back whatever I lost in these past years.

    With that I am gonna commence my journey. I am looking forward to the suggestions and tips from my fellow fapstronauts in my journey!

    Thanks!

    My Journal
    Welcome, @ash1394 :)

    Definitely good to never give up hope. No matter what, keep trying. Many of us do fail from time to time, in smaller or larger ways. So, it's important to just get back up. You'll see TONS of motivation speeches, especially on profile posts. So, NoFap is definitely a great place to hang out. Also try getting out for exercise and things like that. Be creative.

    The discipline comes with time AND effort. Go get it!

  3. Hello and welcome to NoFap!

    You have quite the respectable reason to be on here, my friend.

    A really good tip is to throw yourself into your hobbies, your education, your career, etc. It helps keep your mind off of triggers and urges.

    Consider creating a journal so others can track and support your progress. Build support by supporting others.

    Journal forum here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/ages-20-24.18/

    Good luck!

    Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you.

    You have the right attitude for beginning this challenge. As others may agree, it will not only require discipline but also consistency and endurance. May have fallen away because they have not understand the pull of the dopamine rush one gets while watching P and M’ing. We will be here for you as much as we can.

    The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Hello there friend, thanks for your tips there!

    Yes, I am learning harmonica and flute, so really obsessed with that and its a lot of fun actually when you play a tune by yourself, so enjoying that. And yes I have started to exercise, but will increase it gradually.

    Also studying for 3 hours daily since 17 days now that I took the oath to myself to change for my own good and not indulge in that addiction.

    Yes I will definitely write a journey and keep track of my progress and support my fellow fapstonauts progress!

    Thanks again!

    I learn a lot of things and the root cause of this addiction with every post, thanks for informing me about the dopamine rush.

    I know it will require much discipline, consistency and endurance. That's why I have joined this community to tackle this addiction and help others.

    My strategy is that I have created a time table for my daily activities, so I get as much lesser free time as possible.
    And I have read a post on nofap which says how to tackle the initial problems people get when starting this path, I don't remember the post name. But it was helpful.

    I will definitely want to get more tips from everyone on it!
