    Hey all,

    I just recently turned 18 less than a week ago.

    Since I was around eleven or twelve, porn and masturbation have been a pretty big part of my life.

    I’ve tried several times in the past to stop masturbating without much success. I can typically go for about a week before I slowly start falling back into it. Somehow I always seem to convince myself to go back to it.

    Especially with the pandemic, this habit has only worsened. The free availability of some adult websites due to the coronavirus pandemic hasn’t been helping.

    To be blunt, I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Whenever I quit masturbating, even for just the week or two I’ve been able to accomplish, it was like magic. I started becoming a very different person. But then, with this renewed sense of confidence, somehow I convince myself to go back and lose it all over again.

    I’ve decided to make the most of the whole coronavirus pandemic and quarantine, and take this time to work on eliminating this habit from my life.

    Some words of encouragement or some tips would go a long way. Thanks in advance.

    Well put my friend. I’ve been living the same life only I’m approaching 24. But it’s never too late to get over it and I’m ready to beat this nonsense myself. We can do this man!

    Thanks man! Words can’t describe how ready I am to beat this once and for all. Although there is a part of me that wants to continue with it just as there probably always be, I know that my life would be so much better without it, and I would be better off as a person without it.

    Good luck, and all the best to you!

    That was a truly amazing story, man. Although I didn’t used to be a very religious person, I’ve started to come around to it as I’ve gotten older and it’s already been able to do tremendous things for me.

    Much like you I’ve decided that porn and masturbation no longer have a place in my life, and can’t co-exist with my beliefs, and that I would be much better off without it.

    All the best to you, and thanks for the encouraging story.

    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 section for 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!
