I'm a 25 year old male who came across NoFap a couple of months ago (through a New Yorker article) and tried it for a very brief period--about five days, at that time, if I remember correctly. It went pretty well, but some of the challenges of being in a long-distance relationship at the time meant that my motivation to abstain flagged, and I just sort of fell away from it. I've decided to get back to it, now. What that means to me is to refrain from PMO, with an initial goal of a month (and hopefully a lot longer). I'm going for regular, rather than hard mode. This also happens to be the first time that I've intended to participate actively in an online community (I do a lot lurking in many different spheres of interest), and I'm hoping that this, in particular, will help me keep from "falling away" from my goals again. All in all: happy to be here, and eager to get started.
Welcome to the Forum, kanta. There is a lot of support here, but it's like a relationship--gotta be give and take. In fact, supporting others is a surprising way of helping you in your progress to stay strong.
I absolutely agree pizzaman! It is amazing how helpful it is! We leverage a whole different part of our brain/mind/soul etc. when we help others.
