I love the sense of community and support here and a few years ago when i came across this it helped/taught me a lot. But im in a different place in life than i used to be, but when i think back to nofap i miss having that sense of community and knowing that if i was struggling i could come on here and talk to people and get/give support. Im not quite here to dedicate myself again to not fapping. Actually i dont think i really have a specific goal set for myself yet. I just mostly miss being a part of such a great community. I just worry that if im not on the bandwagon of trying to stop watching porn and etc that i dont belong here anymore. I hope that isnt true.
Still fapping lol. But not hating myself for it. I think I’ve embraced my sexuality and I’m so much more comfortable with myself and etc and I’ve figured a lot of things out about myself as far as sex goes and what works and what doesn’t. Like back in the day I hadn’t really been in a good relationship or had a lot of experience and had built up a lot of issues reality is different from just fapping lol. Life’s good. Got a lot on my hands but I’m doing good in a lot of ways. Struggling with other things. But it’s okay haha
Anyone willing to share in their experiences and give friendly advice is more than likely welcome in the forums! It's good to read that you've learnt more about yourself through returning to fapping and you don't hate yourself for it. Just be wary you aren't becoming too reliant on it and that you can still live your life without PMO taking up too much of it. And I find it's always important to set a goal in life, and in relation to PMO, even the small goals can lead to greater things!
Oh absolutely! I’m kind of in the middle of working a few things out in my life so I can’t quite voice them yet because it’s too complicated to explain. But I’m definitely working on setting those goals. And once I figure out what they are I will post them and update how they are going for sure.
Took me a long while to find myself, so don't rush and think you have to locate an identity for yourself. I found one day I just knew where I needed to end up, and just set goals to get there. Good luck in your own journey, and I look forward to seeing you find goals and reached them!
I think you're fine here! It's a great community and you are a "former" member. The only thing I have to say (because I have to, not because I think you'll do it) is that you can't encourage other members to start fapping again. Otherwise, welcome back!
To me, there are differences between fapping and having an addiction. NF is meant to be against the latter, not necessarily the former. So yeah, you’re good here.
You're fine. I don't have a porn addiction either yet I've been around for a long time. I came here during my abstinent years for support. :3
oh absolutely not haha, i love being able to support others because i know how much having that support here meant to me when i was going through difficult times, and even now i know that i can turn to the forums if i need to talk
I'm with you, @kaylee time I love this place and being able to help and receive support. It's great to have you back!
Thanks! And i just want to say you are awesome, it makes me happy to see people being so active and responding to so many threads the way you do with many words of encouragement and wisdom. It is much appreciated in an often lonely world, at least the forum doesnt have to be!
First, you're welcome! Second, awww! You just made my entire day! Thank YOU!!! I love being here and interacting with folks. We're all in this together and we're so much stronger when we help each other. Plus, doing so helps me, too. YOU are awesome, too! I hope you have the very best day! Thank you again!
