  1. Hey everyone,

    I´m a Spanish guy in his twenties and today I am starting one of the most difficult challenges in my life: quitting porn after many many years. I started when I was an adolescent with magazines and stuff like that and I want to finish today. I want to be free of this long and painful situation.

    I have been reading during the whole afternoon the page and I feel in a way blessed. Mostly because I feel the neccessary support to start a long and difficult journey like this. So thank you all, because you have constructed a really warm place around this website.

    I plan to write my personal journal, this will be of great help, ofc. Thanks a lot :)
     
  2. Hola amigo. Welcome. Glad you are here.

    Take some time to read the reboot material and come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good advice, so don't skip it! :)

    Perhaps start writing a journal - if you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

    Also, IRL, try to add something into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't engage in PMO. Think about doing:
    Something you enjoy
    Something you're good at
    Something important
    Something for somebody else, without thought of reward (and if you DO get an unintended reward, do something ELSE, perhaps for a different person or group).

    Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other. For example, I received the above good advice from a far more experienced member of the community who shared his knowledge. Don't just stay within your own age group or part of the world. Read, learn, apply.

    Look around the forums, get to know people. Everyone is friendly, and will try to support you. We're all in the same boat here. :)

    Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

    I wish you a successful reboot.

    And by the way, look for a user named Sychar. She is a good friend who speaks Spanish.

    Cuidar de sí mismo.
     
  3. Thank you for your response, HARP.

    I will look for her, sure :)
