New to the community, ready to get serious

Hi,

I've been a distant admirer of nofap for awhile. Now ready to take things seriously. I'm in a serious loving relationship of a year and a half. During that time pornography did not control my life and I was able to focus on my goals. My gf does shift work 8 days on 6 days off now and I've gone back to school which makes for a lot of time alone. I am starting to slip into old habits with kik chats on my phone and tip toeing the line on youtube etc. Posting to hold myself accountable and to chose love not fear. I want to be disciplined and live a fulfilling life. I chose nofap
 
Welcome. Yeah, YouTube is a very easy way to fall into porn. You are watching something innocent, then suddenly... well... you get it. I recommend staying away from youtube unless there is something specific you want to watch. Tell yourself you will only watch that video and nothing else. Good luck, friend.

Hey @icarus25 ,

I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me.

Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much.

What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode.

First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals.

Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals.

Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational".

That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community.

PS:

One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals.

I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start.

This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here.
