    Hello everyone,

    I had spent some months abstaining from porn, but not from masturbation.

    A few days ago I relapsed to porn, I gave myself excuses for it, and felt terribly guilty afterwards. It's difficult to deal with the choices you make, which you regret and cannot change.

    I don't think masturbation is entirely wrong, at least not done excessively, but I feel that porn does terrible damage. I am aware that porn creates distorted expectations of reality, about sex and it is in general an industry that perpetuates ideas that undermine women and focus only on what turns men on.

    Anyway, I feel that if I can be more disciplined and adhere to the NOFAP rules, I will be healthier and more confident, and have a better sexual life.

  2. Meditation helps with discipline. It strengthens your frontal lobe. Some parts of your brain actually physically grow bigger due to training by meditation, kinda the same way as muscles grow from weight lifting in gym. If you want to master discipline and emotion control then meditation is something that would be very silly to avoid.

    Coming here is already a step in the right direction. Indeed, pornography can damage a person's life. I'm glad that you recognize that.

    Day six, walking strong. I've been doing well by focusing on doing stuff. I really feel more energized and positive about stuff in general. I managed to complete some tasks during the weekend and I feel I can keep on going.

    Day 8. The hardest part is when you have the cravings to masturbate again. I see it as a challenge. There are so many girls around me and I sometimes feel powerless, because I really want to have sex... maybe the most correct course is to try to focus and do other activities.
