    Hello everyone!

    So finally I got to create an account on nofap and I am up for the challeng / journey.

    How did I get here? Well I heard about NoFap since end of last year. I actually stumbled accross the topic after reading Napoleon Hill's famous book "Think and Grow Rich" from 1938 in which he writes about something called sex transmutation. It is a bit of a weird term, however, what he claims is that all successful men that have accumulated great wealth and achieved other major goals in their lives were able to channel their sex drive into a creative effort. I was quite fascinated by his claim and then looked it up on google to read more about it. And this is how I eventually stumbled across NoFap.

    Now since nearly one year I have tried to abstain from PMO. I know that NoFap works and I have read a lot of success stories. It should actually be enough to give PMO up for good. The sad truth is, I have failed miserably. Longest I was able to be on NoFap was 12 days. To be honest NoFap is damn hard. The first few days are not much of a problem. But after one week or so it starts to get really tough. This is where I failed mostly.

    I have finally decided to take NoFap really seriously and I hope engaging in this community with like-minded people all on the same journey will help me succeed. I am looking forward getting 're-started'.

    Hey @Equanimity-Man ,

    Welcome to NoFap! 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.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    L

    Hi @Equanimity-Man
    Glad you are here. And very welcome to join us in our journey to a healthy, fulfilling life without any self harming habits.

    It's a safe place here. We all are in the same boat, so there is no single space for judgement here.
    Maybe it's a good idea to keep a journal. Sharing your struggles, thoughts and feelings may help you to understand the underlying issues.

    Keep coming back and get the most effort out of nofap!
    You don't need to do it alone!

    I wish you lots of luck!
