New Member: I'm Ready to Make Meaningful Changes

Hello, community,

I'm so glad to be part of this wonderful forum. It looks like a place where I can be open and honest sharing of my struggles. I'm here to make meaningful changes and take action.

At the moment, I've abstained from porn for about two weeks now. Also, I abstained from masturbation for two days. I started going through the Getting Started guide and learning some of the best practices. So far, it's going well.

There's no doubt it'll be challenging ahead. But if I can stick with it and be a part of this forum, so many good things can happen in the days and weeks to come.

I'm very much looking forward to being part of a great community, and hopefully a place where it's ok to share my struggles and successes (at some point).

I look forward to working through this and begin taking action now.

All the best,

-Eric

Hey, welcome to the NoFap community
: )

It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!
First let me go ahead and drop some helpful links for you:
Getting Started Guide / Forum Rules / How to Use the NoFap forums/ Glossary/ NoFap Panic button/
Set up your day counter /
Rebooting Resources/
Accountability groups (new!)/
About NoFap/ Support NoFap

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!

 

Thank you for reaching out to me.

I appreciate the message and the help so far. I'll look into these guides and resources- they certainly will come in handy.

I won't hesitate to reach out to you and the community if needed.

Thanks- all the best.
