    I'm new to nofap but certainly not new to fapping...masturbation has been part of my life for over 50 years. At first it was a simple release without many consequences, that is until high speed internet porn came in. I found my needle and was injecting it constantly, kidding myself as to the harm it was costing me...only three marriages and hundreds of thousands of dollars and a self esteem that was flushed down the toilet. I was hard core. There were days where I would start fapping 9:00 AM in the morning and end around 6:00 PM! Yeah...nuts! I can't even tell you the times I have tried to stop. Why now? It's simple...I want to live out the rest of my life with dignity and power, both of which I absolutely lost. I know I can't do this alone. I'm 20 days sober with a new commitment I've never felt before. Keeping diligent, keeping aware, sharing myself are all keys to sobriety. Thank you for this forum, thank you for all you like souls teaching for the stars where we can feel our pride walking on this planet

  3. Thank you for being here, thank your for your introduction. The life's blood of the community is supporting each other. So, I am grateful for every new member.

    You are in the right place. My experience here is that I needed to learn the program and also get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Why not say hello to a few? Start with @2525 , @vxlccm , @I_can_and_I_will , @IAmJustAGuy , @weddingnails , @PatrickR , @Roady , @yashu11 , @Beamer , @CrushPornBeneathYourFeet , @Arohamystic @MLMVSS . There are many more great people on here, but open these profiles and just say hello.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    I too have over 50 years "invested" in this obsession / addiction / craziness. I strongly feel there is hope for us and I wish you well on your sobriety!
