    Hello Guys,

    First time forum user ever; so apologies for poor forum etiquette. I really could use some help or someone to chat with. My history involved sex at age 18 and starting PMO at 19. I realize this is backwards. Relationship (long distance) with first gf was marred PMO and resulting in ED. We soon broke up after unrelated matters which through me into a PMO whirlwind of a minimum 3 times a day. Two years later, ED is in full blown with a new gf. NoFap is a success after two months and sex is happening. But unemployment is racking my brain and giving me stress that was normally relieved with PMO. I need some serious help if possible. I know what you guys are going through but I can not stop anymore. I went through NoFap as a lurker for 2 months. Very few lapses into P, more so in the less damaging M but now P is making a come back multiple times a day for the past week.

    Please and thank you

    Distraction will trump weak willpower any time, at least that's my mantra right now. Find a game to play (World of Warcraft, EVE Online, Starcraft II, Civilization, Call of Duty, &c), tv series to watch (Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Lost, &c), or written sagas to read (The Dragonbone Chair Trilogy by Tad Williams, The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist, The Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman, The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov, &c).

    Your brain is chemically attracted to pretty images that cause you pleasure. Redirect your brain's attention to something else that can give it a different, but eventually similar type of pleasure.

    Good luck mate!
