New me

Hey Maury! Good on you for making this commitment at a young age
Believe me, if you can fight this now, you will be so thankful for it as you mature as you become an adult. It will help you immensely and you will be a stronger, bolder man because of your actions now. There are many people on here, myself including, who allowed masturbation and pornography to go from a curiosity to a habit to an addiction. When it has a grip on your life, everything else will suffer as a result. You can achieve great things in your life but your future is influenced by the choices you make in the present. Also, I can say that it will def help when it comes to women. It will be a beautiful thing when you can honestly say to your wife that porn isn't a problem in your life. It will give her confidence and reassurance, she will be able to trust you, and know that you love her not just because of sex. The self control you will develop here will also help you to resist the temptations to commit adultery. These are just a few examples of what you will experience because of your commitment here today

-I would recommend keeping a daily log or journal on the site.
-Also, find an AP so you can encourage each other daily. Be totally honest with them.
-Find porn blocker apps that work for you.
-If you believe in God, focus on growing in your faith. Speak to God and read his word every day.
-And do a little bit of exercise each day. It will improve your appearance, your mental health, your confidence, your energy levels, your sleep cycle, and reduce your desire to masturbate/ use pornography.

Thanks for sharing your story. And wishing you well in your fight!

Here is just some advice:
First and foremost please take a careful look at each section in the forum, there may be something(s) you will find to be of big help to you.

Secondly I advise you to be active on your profile(as there a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then begin posting frequent status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement.
The forum has got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see.
People will find your profile and give you support.

There’s a portion of people who love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive conversations. It would be great to have you join in and become part of the team!
We support others in the threads, profile posts, and journals/reboot logs.
Once you receive some support, please be sure and be grateful to the member for the help/support you received and consider giving some in return to anyone you wish.

Thirdly, you should highly consider creating a public journal/reboot log (in the appropriate sectionfor you) to write about your days in depth for us members to follow along on your journey and offer support to you on.

Please start your journal in the correct section and with that, also try your best to post in the correct sections as it is mandatory and would be helpful to the mods who organize the forum. : )

Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
