    Thats a very good question and I would be very happy to know it myself.

    Im 18 years old, european and male.
    I am in battle with PMO since 2013.
    I never had a girlfriend and also dont plan to have one in near future (though i would love to have somebody to be intimate with). I find friends easily and also have persons to talk to (often lack motivation to do so). I can be happy throughout the day but often feel very bad for seemingly no reason when I am alone.
    I believe in God, and visit a free christian church. This was also my motivation to start the fight, because I shurely shound not and do not want to be addicted to Porn. In order to learn about the Bible and also to see progress in my goals I write a diary (definetly a personal recommendation for everybody!).

    I want to break free from P-addiction and feel happy about every aspect of my life without having to be ashame of anything. Some call me a very energetic and upbeat person, but I know that this is not the case when I am alone, bored and facing my personal goals.
    For the last 3,5 years the fight often rather felt like a never ending failure. Porn made me feel useless, weak sometimes feeling unable to cope with life, because I thought I should by now have accomplished freedom.
    I talked to my friends who seemingly never had such problems with P.
    Other friends also believing in Christ also struggle and we lately started to try out some methods to break free from PMO. I use an web protection software on my PC and one for accountability on PC and mobile.
    Now that even those methods do not work reliable (enough lost battles and there will be ways to overcome such barriers), I want to try joining this community.
    Being distracted there are no thoughts about M. But insecurity about my professional education or other "life choices" often drain my motivation, resulting in boredom, self-pity and PMOs.

    One has to know that I never was able to be memeber of a sports club or even a clan, because as soon as there are liabilities I lack the joy to keep going without people who push me. Despite I am a total newbee to this site, so please forgive stupid questions.

    Thanks for reading through my self introduction, please pm me if you are interested in chatting a bit or want to know any more.:)

    Strategies are:
    1. Keeping God in mind and with him in contact
    2. Do things in my free time that keep me away from P
    3. Get to know the community & share my ecperiences
    4. If things get hot klick the Red button
    Any tips for a more effective journey?

  4. Hello. We're glad you're here. And I will answer who you are a bit later.

    More and more people realize how dangerous this addiction is. Emotionally, you can't develop a normal relationship with a woman, because you already have a strong relationship with PMO. Also any addiction destroys you as a social being, but PMO beats all the other addictions, because it affects your capacity to form bonds with women and at the same time you feel ashamed to ask for help, because it's a sexual addiction, and you think the others will consider you a loser and a freak. And physically you can't have a proper erection.

    It's never too early or too late to get rid of it. Porn is something immoral created by immoral beings and allowed by people who have no respect, no shame and no mercy for the hearts and minds of teenagers and young people. Whenever you suggest banning porn, 99% of the people will yell it's not democratic. Then what's democratic? To be aware of our times' worst poison and yet let it thrive and really ruin what nature has been working at for billions of years?

    And now back to your question 'Who am I?' You are not only an intelligent person, but also someone who has set higher standards for himself. You want to do something valuable with your time, energy and imagination. You are intelligent because you have analysed yourself and the dangers of your addiction.

    Now what you might do to improve your situation. Don't try to be an alpha male. Most alpha males I know are bullies who intimidate people who are already easy to intimidate. You are not a winner if you scare a dozen 10-year-old kids. A real alpha male is respectful and kind, but hard to trick or cheat on. So I suggest you should read, study, learn how to dance, learn how to fight, swim, climb mountains, play an instrument. Knowing how to dance with a girl and how to fight will give you a boost in your confidence as a man. Never insist on being friends with anybody. People who have real qualities and skills don't need to beg for friendship and social life. It's always the others who want them as buddies. The same goes for leaders. Never try to dominate other people. If you are outspoken, calm, always smiling and good at what you do. other people will follow your ideas and advice naturally.

    Good life is not about conquering and being aggressive, but about being needed by the others. And you are needed only when you have real qualities and skills.

    I would suggest joining the group Christian Fapstronauts who will encourage you through prayer and scripture.

    Great to have feedback!

    @robertgianni1976
    I fully agree about that Porn topic. As I started fighting PMO I would still like to do so, ignoring that there are reasonable arguments why it is harmfull. It shurely is the silent disease for Civilisation.
    Also a thumbs up for your picture of a "alpha male". The last two days being in this community awoke a desire to improve myself in every aspect, because of such posts.

    @D . J .
    Already joined the Christian Fapstronauts. They are a great encouragement for me. And: Big Thanks to this HUGE list you made! I am reading through it at times.

  7. Very good plan.
    My advice is to get busy and have the mentality that this time will be different and you will not relapse.
    Keeping God in mind is great! I want to have a better relationship with God but I’ve been having difficulty.
    I recommend also doing regular exercise. Maybe, start going to a gym. Even if you can’t do much, it still helps.
    But really, you need to have committment and a strong desire to never go back to porn, otherwise you won’t be able to quit and you’ll keep relapsing.

    PS: are you from Germany?
