New Home, new Life

Hey guys,

my story is as follows.
I come from Germany, so if my formulation is weird thats the reason why. I masturbated since I was 13 till now, which are 10 years. Porn joined in a few years later. I tried to stop watching porn and masturbating several times, but I was never succesful.

The reason why I am here now is because I moved out from my parents house two weeks ago into a little apartment. And beeing in this new surrounding I realized, that this is my chance to change something. I have to reach back a bit to explain this, I hope you don't mind a longer text.

I am a man of habits, so it is very difficult for me to lay down a habit. But, if I can build up one, I somehow manage to maintain it. And the foundation of my new attempt of Nofap lies in a habit. When I was a young teenie I started making a list in my head with people that I don't want to think of in a sexual way. These were close friends and I did not want to have my feelings conflict with my friendships. That list grew slowly longer. I did not put many on it, but the ones on the list were never used in sexual fantasies. So this was my list of "clean people".
Two years ago I bought a new PC. Since it was new, I never watched porn with it and I kinda declared it to stay clean. So I watched porn on my old PC, but not on the new one, which was not really difficult, but it was a small step that turned into a habit.
Last year I bought a new mobile phone. And since it was new, it was clean. And I declared it to stay clean. And it worked.

SO, sixteen days ago on Tuesday 26th of August I moved into my new apartment. And I realized, the new home is clean This is the same chance as I had with the PC and the mobile phone. And I decided to try it.
It is risky, because if this fails the hole concept could fail. But if it works, this could be the best time of my life.

So that's the story, why I give Nofap a try again. And I hope this community enhances my changes and that I can also help others.

So guys, let's fight
