I thought I'd give this a try, but for real this time. I was on here a while ago, but wasn't too serious about it. Now I am. I have been struggling with PMO since I was 12, the same age I lost my dad.I recently noticed that after my dad passed away, I got started with porn. For the past 14 years, it has been an up and down roller coaster with porn and Mr overall being of life. Being depressed, sexuality concerns, low self esteem and more have been my issues. I swore I was good and could overcome it, but time and time again, I gave in. I'm tried of it. Tired of living like this. I've had enough though. I can and will get through this. I just need to put my mind to it and do it. But I'll need some help, I know. Hopefully this community, this time around, can help me and I'll actually be open to it. Hopefully that wasn't too long winded, but I like to be transparent lol
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. How are you progressing today? What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
So far so good. I'm trying to retrain my brain and acknowledge when I'm getting triggered by something. I'm literally taking it one day at a time. I've got a counter on my phone and that helps. But I try to not focus on the days so much cause I know it's a life long thing. I just want to do the best I can.
What made you relapse? It is important to recognize your triggers early on. Write down what where going trough your mind before the relapse and learn from it until next time.
