Hey everyone, I am still not used to this website, those secret use websites have poor ui , i don't know why, maybe it's shows that our brain is focused more on content, and i feel sorry for ui designers , cuz if user is not really into it will never come back. in my case i am addicted since 2019 now so 5 years, let's say 2020, 2019 was discovering stage. I am now 24 years old, so it's started when i was 19! I am lost, i lost a year of study, now i am about to lose my life and future , friends already lost, family they still have hopes on me. Any suggestion or help? i searched alot i know what to do , problm i don't know where to start
Hi there @Liza5896 - Glad you are here. Take some time to read the reboot material (available here => http://www.nofap.com/getting-started) and come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good advice, so don't skip it! Perhaps start writing a journal - if you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery. Also, try to add something into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't engage in PMO. Think about doing: Something you enjoy Something you're good at Something important Something for somebody else, without thought of reward (and if you DO get an unintended reward, do something ELSE, perhaps for a different person or group). Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other. Don't just stay within your own age group or part of the world. Share your knowledge in a respectful way. This is a great post about what kind of things could help you during your reboot. https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/time-to-be-done-with-this.140257/page-25#post-1442099 This is a fantastic way to explain what you'll be feeling during your reboot. https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/club-dopamine.101129/ Read, learn, apply. Look around the forums, get to know people. Everyone is friendly, and will try to support you. We're all in the same boat here. Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL. And remember, it's not a challenge - it's a lifestyle change. I wish you a successful reboot. ~Orf
