    My name is Jonathan, and I just got here after watching a video about this site. First time i'm running into this kind of community and it really encourages me to see more people dealing with it. I'm 28, and unfortunately porn has been a really big part of my life in the last years. I remember times fapping 3 or 4 times a day. I can definitely say it makes me feel bad after each and every time, and also for the long run I can really feel how it influences my overall energy. I can point this out because I also remember times when I wasn't into this, and at that time I could really feel the difference. I'm not sure how to exactly describe this feeling, but I would really like to become independent again. This is day 1. Good luck for me

    Hey septimus thanks for the support. Really liked the "What working for me" you wrote, very inspiring.
    BTW, i'm not so sure about how should I use this site in general.

    Thank you all for the support. it is my 4th day without any POM and I feel like I need to to set some clear goals for myself in order to keep it going. I've gotta stay focused on this, its really hard avoiding all those thoughts about POM. Especially while its summer now and everywhere I look all I see are asses in tight shorts. Gotta keep it cool, it makes you strong showing yourself you can beat your own thoughts, its transcendental. We can accomplish much more than what we think we can. Peace and Love :emoji_man_dancing:

    Hey Jonathan, I'm pumped that you are starting this journey. I figured out how to set the counter a little late. I'm really at 3 weeks no P and no M. The M thing was something I had been doing practically everyday for the last twenty something years, so going 3 weeks has been very difficult. But its not impossible and the rewards are far too great to pass up. The NoFap app has been a big help.

    Hey NoEffingSlack, this is definitely something I had in mind for long time now. Only recently I have found out about this site and I gotta say it makes the whole process much more meaningful. I have already tried avoiding PMO in the past for a short period of time, but I sure didn't have anyone to share it with. I'm so glad I've found this place, you all are amazing! this is much better than paying the shrink.
    BTW you can set the PMO Tracker to start counting from any date you like, just press the "Date" button in the configuration there.

    Hey thanks for your intereset, its been almost three weeks now without PMO, and I think im starting to feel the benefits. I have to say I didnt actually get much to think about it in the past three weeks, as if it was just a matter of decision I had to make with myself. I definitley feel more confident and much more independent than before. One thing I noticed is that I dont feel anymore that stress I had before while interacting with women. I dont even think I knew to classify it as stress back than. Its like kind of zen.

    One thing im still strugling with is one of my friends whatsapp groups. Once every 2-3 days P is popping there and it somehow annoys me. I disabled the auto download of media but it still kind of bothers me to be exposed to this against my will. I like the innocense that has came back to me since I began my reboot. Hope to keep up with it. Its all in our heads. Rise over our thoughts and observe them.
