Been using porn from the early days of the internet! I am 45 now... I am married, and my non-porn sex life is just fine - although, I guess like many married men my age, I would always welcome more So, I suppose so far I manage ok with my porn addiction - I don't think it is extreme or very harmful. However, I really wish to be able to know what my ordinary, day to day functioning would be like without the ongoing, year after year time and energy drain given to porn... Lets see if I can actually participate in this noFap thing... wish me luck!
Good luck mate, It really does take up your time. Puts me in a right shit mood after aswell, right irritable. Hope you succeed.
Hi gottarun You can participate in NoFap if you choose to; its like any other important choice you make. You don't need luck, you need determination and an unwavering desire to heal yourself. To succeed, it really helps to have a clear vision in front of you about WHY you are on this journey. Having a really clear understanding of "WHY I AM HERE" will help you to succeed on your journey to healing. And make no mistake, any addiction to P is reason to need healing. To know the complete effects of addiction, you have to also know the other side - no addiction. I encourage you to make a commitment to yourself and get going on the path to healing. Its not always an easy journey, but the benefits are well worth the efforts required to succeed. Stay strong, become well one day at a time is how we all succeed.
Good ! Glad to try to help. And your counter shows progress, so good job ! Keep going ! One day at a time is how we all succeed.
Hi 'Run Glad you are doing well. It is helpful (at least to me) to know that others are feeling / experiencing / dealing with many of the same issues. We're all different, but in some ways, all also alike. Your counter seems stuck at 6 days. Are you continuing your no PMO journey ? If not, why not ? Doing a reboot won't hurt your difficulties and will very likely help heal many of them. If you haven't truly started, there is no better time than right now to begin. One day at a time is how we all succeed.
Hi again, Haven't relapsed yet! I am on day 7 I did use the panick button a couple of times - it worked! I appreciate you following up. Dunno what else to say, I pray to find the strength to stick with this... Best, me P.S. I am married - therefore on a PM journey, not PMO
Glad you are doing well. Good job ! Keep going ! You can do this. (I understand about PM journey; its good. P, leading to PM is the basic problem, not O, especially not when its with your wife ! ) All the best. One day at a time is how we all succeed.
