    Hi, I'm a twenty-something man from the US. Been dealing with PMO as a coping mechanism since I was about 12 years old. However have been fortunate to still experience meaningful and fulfilling relationships over that time. But there has always been a disconnect, like I'm missing something in my interactions with women, and people in general. I believe my PMO habit is a part of that issue. I usually use PMO at least once a day. But I want to bring it down to zero and live my life to the fullest. Thanks guys for helping me out with this. And good luck to you all as well.

    Welcome to Your New Beginning.

    This is YOUR recovery and you must own it. You may be familiar with other addiction recovery programs. The first 90 days of these programs require meeting everyday for the first 90 days of recovery. I suggest visiting and contributing to NoFap each of your first 90 days. Glean wisdom from the strong, encourage the new, and be wary of those who are negative and make excuses. Add the words of your journey to those of others and help create this wonderful narrative of transformation. I have made my NoFap time a replacement for all web surfing and social media. Be wary of depending on technology like counters and web filters. Understand that the battle is between your ears more so than between your legs. Each time you are tempted to go to that foul place, you must remember the man you are working to become, and then choose to be in control. Do not allow porn to steal another second of your life.

    Invictus
    William Ernest Henley, 1849 - 1903
    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul

    Be Strong my Friend.

    What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    Welcome to the community. I'm relatively new here but have already found the opportunity for accountability very helpful.

    That's what I'm here to establish. I haven't developed a strategy and have just tried pure will power. Which hasn't been successful.
