Hi everyone! I'm really glad I found this site, I just finished masturbating against my will (believe me, I wish to stop) and I decided to find out if masturbating is really harmful to the average human or not. Anyway, I stumbled on some reports from NoFap forum and here I am! I guess I'd start counting tomorrow since I already watched pornot today (against my will!). I'm super excited about being able to express myself finally. A big thanks to Alexander for giving me this opportunity. I really hope this would help.
@Nicole welcome to nofap. You may have noticed our minds are weak when we start this journey and it is not fully made up but as you keep at it you resolve grows stronger. For the first few days make time to come to this site and write your journal and read others. I realized the community aspect of this site really made the difference when compare to my previous attempts to quit porn. I wish you good luck.
I'm glad you're on NoFap, too, Nicole, being able to express yourself, as you say, when you're having a good day, when you feel pressured or nervous and you're struggling...whenever you like. A lot of members' stories are really inspiring. I don't know if you're interested in setting up a counter - you can do this here: https://pmo-tracker.appspot.com/?u=5184305185685504 - you can customize it in terms of the days in your goal and the specific behavior you're avoiding (no PMO, no M, etc.). I think it's encouraging (although it's a bummer when you need to reset it) to see, by the hour, where you're at on the path to that goal. Best thoughts to you today with prayers for clarity and strength!
