Hi everyone, just a quick intro young guy who is big on self improvement. I see fapping and pornography as detrimental to my character and wish to quit. I'm thinking I'll try increasing increments of time between faps (week, fortnight, month... etc) and eventually work my way to 90 days and above. I hope I can find support here as most guys don't see a problem with fapping and porn. I'm here to support as well if others need it. I look forward to this journey
I know exactly how you feel about self-improvement. I want to be secure and content in the knowledge that P and M aren't a part of my life. This is the goal i'm working towards. I've tried cutting out just P before and made it just over 2 months before relapsing. Thing was, I would then think about girls (many of whom I knew and was friends with) when M-ing instead. In my mind, this is at least as bad and arguably more of a negative reflection on my character. Anyway, I want to leave both behind. Some early advice from another newbie: Get some exercise in the day. Keep yourself busy. Study in public places or with your door open. If you get far enough to turning on your private browser or intending to PM, just make one shortcut to this site. Have a read of this forum and websites like YourBrainOnPorn. Helps boost that will power you are talking about! All the best mate, NWPA
I could sincerely use your help and I'm trying to finally rid myself of the habit of masturbation. I do not view porn but masturbation has a grip on me an I always give in again to it though this time im trying to label myself a non masturbator to try and break this. i don't o it that often an have even gone over 300 days once but then gave in out of fear. I'll help you support your choice too.
The fastest way I know to improve willpower is to go through a Cold Shower Challenge. It really sucks at first, but day after day it gets easier. And you can apply that willpower to other areas of your life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlHZOb5Obbo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb0h8ZKvJW4 Be bold and fight this addiction with everything you've got!
300 days is an incredible achievement! I admire such strength and at the moment can only hope to reach such a number. I feel like having accepted my habit/addiction that I have taken the first step onto a long journey of self improvement. Regularly posting and reading threads on this forum looks to be a great tool at our disposal. I'm not sure how it will work out but I will be posting regular updates about my struggle and I encourage you to do the same. The best thing we can all do for each other is be active on this site and post encouragement and advice where we can. You have my support. Fight on!
