I am from Eastern Europe and I have developed a sex addiction since I was 14(porn and masturbation). One year ago, I have also started going to prostitutes and developed also an addiction for paid sex. This impacted in a bad way my life, turning me into an anti-social person. So today is my first day when I have decided to change my life and I am happy that I have found this community. It gives me hope that I will be able to change myself I would love to be able to spek with others and motivate one another. Thank you.
@_james_ welcome to nofap. I am glad that you caught yourself early in life. Remember Porn is a fantasy that spills in to reality, as you saw your self from watching porn to paying prostitutes. This is a supportive community and the more you come here the more help you will receive. i encourage you to start a journal in your age group and keep making regular posts. I wish you good luck!
Hey @_james_ , Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place. I'm just a regular member on here, so take what I say as my experience. I found that I needed to: 1. Learn the NoFap program. 2. Get involved with the community. The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ Then, watch this video: It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation. The video explains it better than I can. Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much. Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate. Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums, --> L PS - I Think of pmo like a wolf. When I stay near the center of the group and stay with the winners, the wolf has a more difficult time finding me. But, if I stop working at NoFap and stray near the edges of the community, then the wolf can pick me off.
One of the ways I got involved with the fellowship was by reading some really great journals. Reading other's stories with their victories and even defeats is a big part of my program. I've included journals from all age groups, spiritual members, religious members, secular members, male and female. You should find journals that help. If not, look around, there are hundreds of others from which to choose. When I say "it works if you work it", reading journals is part of that work. Once you open a journal, click "Watch Thread" in the upper right of the page to get alerts when new posts are made. Here are just a few: @StarLightReboot - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/156764 --- @SaapKaBaap - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139761/ --- @GoldSpirit - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/147651/ --- @Lazarus Shuttlesworth - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/53299/ --- @db001 - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/130513/ -- @LilD - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/147764/ --- @julianstone - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/146584/ --- @zakes - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/149243/ --- @DavidGibson - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143325/ --- @BreatheDeeply - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139097/ --- @LiquidShoes - https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/134044/ --- There are many more, and you can discover them on your own. But, these are great places to start. This is a work in progress. So, if a journal has changed or is no longer active, look around there are some amazing journals on here. --> L --- PS - Starting a journal also helped me a great deal. The journals are listed by age groups on the forum start page. Most members run one journal only. That way both the member and others can go back and look at their journey at a later time. Hope to read your journal soon. Also, in your personal details you can put a link to your journal. Then, appears under your avatar. -
For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2 fellowship. Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles. I've found that the bricks that hold this community together are cemented with the support of the members of the fellowship. @romlel @LeoJohn @Gray Wolf @StarLightReboot @Chriss27 @ludwig525 @hoping_cannon @DavidGibson @SteelshoT @Jewels @reystronaut @2525 @weddingnails @PatrickR Look at with whom they exchange messages and you will find more profiles. So, if you would have found more profiles yourself, why suggest these particular ones as a start? Those relationships started with just saying hello. So, my ESH is that saying hello has kept the fellowship alive for myself. Looking forward to your success and in seeing you say hello on these profiles, --> L
