    Hey 33 year old newbie here.

    Just started the nofap on 12/26/21. Been doing fine on the no porn, but relapsed twice. Once on the 29th and another last night. I don't feel too bad about it though, I knew that when kicking this that I was going to have setbacks (Life, eh?). But in my defense I've been doing this since I was 13 (20 years), doing it about 1-5 times a day, save for the occasional rest day; and both times I did it without the porn.

    The time I started is also the time that I've started meditation to help with the dirty images popping into my head from time to time (ADD), which I know it is going to be my biggest obstacle.

    I know that I've got a long road ahead of me, and that it'll be awhile before I hit the 30 day mark, so any advice would be helpful, like if I should do this gradually before eventually cold turkey, or if I should just fight my way through.

    Current Nofap record: 9 days

    I just wanted to say "welcome" and that you made a wise decision coming here. You can probably start with getting your day counter setup, and deciding on what kind of goal you want to meet first (90 days, no PMO, etc). There are three threads at the top of the "New to NoFap" with information for new members perhaps starting there could be a good move.

    Good luck!

    My advice is simple don't get complacent don't think you deserve to fap if you've made it till a week or two. I personally use pavlok to shock myself whenever I deem any thought related to PMO it works to bring your awareness back to whatever you want to do. You can start by slapping yourself if you don't want to spend $150 on a shocking device, it worked for me for my first 30 day streak. Just keep reminding yourself of the benefits of 'EXTENDED' nofap.
