New to nofap

Welcome to nofap.

I'm glad to see you join the community

Congratulations on taking the first step to a better life.

You've made the right choice, but there will come times when it won't seem so. Those times will test you and put you through a lot of grief. In those times, have a look at Relapse and Reset Reports section and remind yourself of the grief this habit can bring.

There will also come times when you doubt your cause and second guess yourself. In those times, try exploring the Success Stories Section to see where the nofap challenge can lead people.

Finally, there will come times when you feel like you just don't have it in you. In those times, look at yourself in a mirror and tell yourself you can do it.
Because you can.

It definitely isn't an easy journey, but it sure as hell is a beautiful one.

If you want to delve deeper into the specifics of nofap and understand how exactly it improves your life, take a look at www.yourbrainonporn.com and read the introduction there. The biology of this addiction is very well decomposed on that website.

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

 

The battle is indeed in our minds. That is where we must fight and win it. PMO will always lie to you to get you to act out and give your brain the drug it craves. You must learn to spot the lie and replace it with the truth instead. Then you must focus your mind on the truth instead of the lie and live your life from the truth. Practice this mindfulness consistently and you will eventually break free.

Find a way out of shame. It will only hold you back. My way forward was through my faith in Jesus. Others have different strategies. Shame will never help you; it only serves to keep you locked in destructive behavior.
