    After a lifetime of PMO I have decided to go for a hard reboot for at least 1 year. This after my daughter heard me PMO in the closest yesterday. I feel like a complete degenerate. Controlled by my addiction, week, and feeling like I am a total fraud. My marriage is already in the toilet and what last shred of respect I had from my kids has evaporated. This terrible feeling of shame will get me through about 2 months of NoFap. This is the first time that I am posting and I hope it helps me get past the 2 month mark and maybe free of this curse. I need to get past this. Please help me.

    Try not to beat yourself up. It takes real courage to walk the path of recovery.

    All the best on your reboot, I'm sure you will do just fine.

    I’m sorry you were exposed like that. I can only imagine how that feels.

    I know the shame and guilt can seem strong enough to overpower the addiction. But it’s not a good tool for fighting addictions. All it’s going to do is demotivate you and make you want to punish yourself, and that’s going to lead to more acting out down the line. If you want advice you should accept the part of you that thinks it needs this addiction. That way you can move on and find solutions as a whole person.

    I’m glad you came here. I hope you get the help u need. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. So far it’s been 2 weeks. I had a strong urge the other day but I just replayed the sound of my daughter screaming at me. “I can hear you!” I think that little bit of PTSD might be good for me. I also repeated to myself that I can’t just do it once. It’s a slippery slope that always ends in the same place. There is no casual PMO for me.
