Yep I'm addicted

This may sound like too simple of an answer but: to succeed at anything that requires a commitment to a certain path, the very first thing you need to do is decide that you're going to do it. Really make a decision to succeed. Already have it set in your heart that you will accomplish this goal. Be ready for the temptations, and decide how you're going to deal with them before they happen.

That way, if a new temptation pops up you have already decided in advance not to act on it, so you can just dismiss it. You don't have to sit there and wonder if you're going to give in. You've already decided that you're not.

I hope that helps. I know it has worked for me in the past. Whenever I fail, it's usually because I didn't sit myself down beforehand, and make a decision on how I'm going to handle the urges.

 

fiaklu, what the hell? I messaged you this exact post, and you copied and pasted it here as your own. I don't mind, but give me some credit, dude. Don't just pass it off as your own.

 

I read that the more aroused we get, the less disgust we feel (I read this here - see paragraph on "the gross-out theory"), which can drive us to seek arousal in places we normally wouldn't. I've not masturbated to those particular things, but in really heightened states of arousal I've crossed boundaries I'm not proud of. You are not alone.

Accepting you have a problem is the first step, so well done. It's a long journey with ups and downs and you can feel discouraged from time to time but hang in there and keep checking in on this site. When you get knocked down keep getting up again, even if it happens multiple times a day. Good luck!

 

Welcome to the community.
I don't have any specific tips. Just the usual.

• Make better habits, like instead of watching endless Netflix or YouTube, pick up a positive hobby like painting, or coding or something else according to your tastes.
• Eat healthier meal options everyday. You stomach and your mind have a relationship with one another. So if you eat happy stuff, you'll feel happier throughout the day.
• Exercise everday, it could be a simple walk or a simple 10 minutes basic calisthenics routine or a proper weightlifting routine. Whatever you choose, stay consistent and enjoy your life.

Good luck, and best of health and happiness to you.

u right I,guest I went wrong. Ur words helped me,so,i decided to pass it on.

 

We're good. Think nothing of it, bud. Stay cool.

 

Good luck with your goals and welcome to Nofap. Depression sucks big time, but if it is PMO related at least you have great motivation to end PMOing. It can be a tough journey for some, but it's great to see you have already notched up 5 days.

Great start!

 

You've realised you're addicted which is the first positive step! You've taken another positive step by joining the forum. Don't be too down on yourself about the past and focus on a porn free future. All the best on your journey my friend.

 

Good luck on your journey. Focus on trying to substitute porn and that time with healthy habits like exercise. Learn about meditation and do it. Get help for your depression with a doctor and meds. Take care of yourself and your needs in other ways. This is a hard journey but it is worth it.

 

I started doing this at the age of 11 and still do it more and more often.
