Hey guys, I came across NoFap earlier last year, but never really got involved until now. I wish I had. I'm a 29 year-old married guy. My one-month anniversary is in two weeks. My then-fiancee and I abstained from sex for around 90 days leading up to the wedding. I was able to quit porn for the most part during that time as well. The result? Amazing sex all week on our honeymoon and into the first few months of marriage. Unfortunately, since then I've fallen back into old habits. What's worse: since March I've been working from home. So for eight hours a day it's just me alone at the house in front of my computer. And that's when porn really grabbed me. On my worst weeks, it's PMO multiple times a day, five days a week. I've struggled with porn in the past, but never to the extent I thought it was a problem. Until now. As a result, there have been several times over the past few months where I haven't been able to perform with my wife. She's always sweet about it, but it's been devastating for me. The worst is on days where I've masturbated multiple times and then she gets home from work and initiates sex, only for me to not be able to get or stay hard. It's awful knowing I can't satisfy my wife because I've satisfied myself with porn. Anyway, I finally decided enough is enough and came back to this website. This past Thursday, I decided to start my reboot, which makes today day 5. I've created a spreadsheet for myself marking down the days, with each 1-week period highlighted and an entire month marked as the initial goal. This won't be a "hard mode" re-boot, because I want to continue having sex with my wife. But I want her to be my only source of sexual satisfaction. It's not fair to her any other way. I've even quit going to sites I used to visit that aren't technically pornographic, but feature sexually charged images, like The Chive. Anyway, just wanted to post on here and let everyone know where I'm coming from. I'm not sure what next steps are on this site (i.e. if I need to officially join a group or a challenge or what). Please feel free to reach out with your stories or words of encouragement. Thanks.
Right on time! Try to be open about your problem. Very good job admitting your addiction. Be smart on how you will deal with the urges. Succes!
Thanks, man. On a somewhat related note, how do I add the counter to my signature? I finally have enough likes to set up my own sig, but can't figure out how to do that.
