Who is it hurting?

Hi, new user to this site and all. I have seen a lot about NoFap lately, so thought I'd check it out.. and even try for myself.

In my life I have wasted way too much time to PMO, sometimes hours in the evenings to it. A part of me is just starting with the whole 'who is it hurting' argument in my mind. So already the enemy is whispering into my ear to undermine my efforts.

The answer to that question is that it is hurting me. I can start to count some of the ways that I am harming myself. Lost productive time, staying awake too late (and lack of sleep that is a part of that). Then of course there are the mental effects of too much PMO.. those are all things I am starting to find out about right now.

Only half a day in at this stage so it seems easy so far, but based on the experiences of others I have read here it seems that things will get more difficult from here on in.

 

Thank you everyone for the welcome, I am glad to see that I have some good help available should I need advice.

At lot of my current strategy against PMO is going to be based on my (flawed I admit) willpower. Basically the only person in my life (other than those on this forum) who cares if I fail or succeed in this is me. I have seen and heard about the longer term benefits of NoFap, so that is my motivation moving forward.

I came up with the title while writing the post as I thought that this part of the post conveyed my current battle as it were.
