Hello, My name is Filip and i come from Serbia.

So i've just created this forum account, so i can have discussions about my current dedication, and seeing how could it affect me.

The longest i've been through is 47 days, in which i haven't really been gaining much benefits. Since several days before 2018, i've relapsed once while not having a really clear mind (being returned back home after a quick and urgent hospitalization due to a blackout), and since then i've been on numerous attempts that could last max a week or so, untill now.

My interests are music (I mostly like Metal and Hip-Hop of various subgenres, but i'm open to anything such as Post-Rock or even midwest emo here and there) Video Games and FL Studio beat making (i'm still a noob).

So, that's all on my mind right now. If there is anyone willing to reply to this thread, i would be open for any type of discussion!

I would also love if some of you showed me how things go around here.

Love, Filip
 
Welcome here, Filip. I am glad to have you here. Try to explore the Site and post your thoughts. I am sure you will find good friends willing to assist

Best regards
 
@Fixon welcome to nofap. I am glad you took action at a young age. It should save a ton of time and energy down the road. I am not sure how long you have been struggling with this but you may or may not see immediate benefits some people describe here but everyone will see one clear benefit which is time saved!! It is also possible that you have other things going on (for ex: depression or some major event like exams) that will suppress the benefit you get out of staying away from PMO. I am emphasizing on benefits because young people give up on this journey because they are not seeing the "super powers" and in my view that is not the right approach. Developing healthy sexuality is a prize in itself!
I encourage you to start your journal in your age group and keep coming back!
I wish you good luck!

Hey @Fixon ,

I'm nobody special on here. Just a regular user saying, "welcome".

There is so much support on this forum, the profiles and the various groups. It works if you work it. I don't offer advise. I offer only my ESH (experience, strength and hope).

My ESH is that NoFap is about action and that meant work for me. It is not about "not doing something", for me, it is about working my program.

Work it? Oh yeah. There's work to be done, that's what's worked for me. Two things I've found necessary.

1. I had to Learn the NoFap Program.

2. Getting involved with the community on here was vital to help my recovery.

Learn the NoFap Program
The resources listed on the "New Users: List of Rebooting Resources" helped me find my way around the reasons behind the program and the terms used.

They are:

You can find this same list on the top of the forum you posted this message on at - the "New to NoFap" forum.

Get Involved with the Community
The community has been my lifeline. I've found journals I love, people who are very supportive and a place where I could get to work helping in a small way others.

Remember, I'm just a normal user with no magic powers. But, I can:

  • Read Journals, and comment when I have ESH

  • Find people I admire and stay in touch via their profiles

  • Pick a forum and make sure every post gets and answer. I can't answer them all, but that's good - different opinions make for a better group.

  • Post in my journal (I could be better at it - but I do milestone posts at least) To make a journal go to the section listed by age and start one. Keep all your journal posts in one thread. But, for random thoughts, you can create a new thread.
Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

--> L

PS – I Think of pmo like a wolf. If I Stay near the center of the group with the winners the wolf has a more difficult time finding me. But, stray near the edges of the community by not working my program and the wolf can pick me off.
 
For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2 fellowship.

Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles.

I've found that the bricks that hold this community together are cemented with the support of the members of the fellowship.

@CrushPornBeneathYourFeet
@JakeO5
@Arohamystic
@MLMVSS
@Rising Sun !!
@Ready to be healthy
@Brahmacharin
@Struggle Bug
@tet2vd
@Satchi
@BigDawg913
@zakes
@LilD
@kropo82

Look at with whom they exchange messages and you will find more profiles.

So, if you would have found more profiles yourself, why suggest these particular ones as a start? Those relationships started with just saying hello. So, my ESH is that saying hello has kept the fellowship alive for myself.

Looking forward to your success and in seeing you say hello on these profiles,

One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program.

I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work.

Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few:

There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start.

This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here.

PS - Starting a journal also helped me a great deal.

The journals are listed by age groups on the forum start page. Most members run one journal only. That way both the member and others can go back and look at their journey at a later time.

Hope to read your journal soon. Also, in your personal details you can put a link to your journal. Then, appears under your avatar.
