Help. My first day using nofap

Why to stop is easy to answer. How is a different matter.

Why:

• For my family
  • I don't want to hurt my wife
  • I don't want to hurt my kids
  • I don't want to hurt my parents
• For society
  • I don't want to live in a world where it's okay for people to be abused and forced into making porn
  • I don't want to live in a society that is okay with objectifying people and treating them like a commodity
    
  • I don't want to live in a country where fake pixels are considered an ideal over real people
• For my own health
  • I don't want to waste time and money on this addiction
  • I don't want to ruin my sex life
  • I don't want to warp my perceptions of reality
  • I don't want to diminish and destroy my ability to spiritually and emotionally relate to other people

I could go on, and on, and on. The are thousands of posts on here and hundreds of threads full of why people want to stop PMO.

How can we stop? That is the big question. I have found things that work for me, but I can't guarantee they will work for you.

 

I did it because it's my last chance at life. Either nofap works, otherwise i don't have any reason anymore to go on like that.

 

Yo, welcome.

Read this book, it works!! Just read it.

 

The things that worked for me include: full confession to my wife, entering a 12 step program and attending the meetings, finding an accountability partner on here, writing a journal on here, deleting social media apps that were causing temptation, installing accountability software and filters on my phone and computer, cold showers, and lots of willpower.

Honesty, the biggest thing for me has been to focus on eliminating M. And that is currently my biggest struggle, and the brink of my slippery slope. I used to use M as a way to avoid P, since I figured that it was a "lesser evil" and would leave me satisfied. But that only worked temporarily, and made things worse in the long run.

Good luck my friend. Stay strong!

 

Thank God for that. lol.

 

the good vs the bad

 

that means once you hate watching porn you will get to the good part where you you will be interested in other things rather than porn.

 

For me some of the reasons.

• Porn and Masturbation is a major sins in my religion.
• I donot want to destroy my health.
• I donot want to use my energy doing something useless.
• I donot want to marry to the pixels ie computer or smartphones.
• etc etc

 

yup
