    i'm excited to join the community and start a 90-day reboot. i've known about this community from the periphery for a while, but never jumped in like i am now.

    i'm 39 y/o male, working/professional, using porn since ~14 or so. for last couple decades i suppose it's been an on-again-off-again problem and issue for me. reading the content on this page & reddit really resonates w/ me, and it's very obvious i have a problem and need to address it...

    i'm currently engaged. my porn definitely negatively affects the relationship and intimacy w/ my fiancee. it has negatively affected other areas of my life over the years.

    i'm starting a 90-day reboot (as of 12/27/17). no porn or masturbation for me. i'm also committed to posting once a day in the community, which i want to be accountable to. i know i've had terrible lack of control/willpower on this issue, so i'm wanting to commit to rules/routines to give myself as good a shot as possible. 90-days seems like a very high goal right out of the gate.
     
  2. Hi
    Thanks for being here. Welcome!
    Leaving an addictive habit is not an easy job, but .... it will be fully worth it.
    So... get some knowledge, read stories, let yourself encouraged by others.
    You are not alone in this. So connecting to others is a clue as well!
    And don't forget to create a journal.
    Writing about your daily stuff may really help you to process the issues.
    Good luck!

  3. Hey ParisLemon1,
    Welcome to the NoFap community!
    A 90 day challenge is a great goal, but can seem impossible to get to at first.
    I personally recommend starting with the 7 day challenge. It's a lot more manageable and can give you confidence to do the 90 day challenge.
    Best of luck during your reboot!
    Feel free to message me or anyone else if you have any questions or want to talk.
    Again, Welcome!
