    So I have been ill for the past few days which left me with a lot of time on my hands, the first day was filled with a few sessions of PMO and towards the end of it I realised, what's the point?

    Started browing the internet and came across this site... read the forums and wow, I could really make a difference to my life, I am not addicted to PMO nor do I do it regurlarly, there were times this year where I didn't bother for a few weeks because I was flatlining or just generally couldn't be bothered.

    The main reaason I have started though is because I am trying to better myself, since my ex got rid of me (for no good reason at all) I decided I needed to be who I wanted to be and when I looked in the mirror be able to smile. Hoping abstaining from touching myself will help me to do such a thing and after reading a lot of success stories I am hoping it will not only make me more confident, but help me to find someone I can spend my life with. This group is epic and I hope it has the affect on me that it has on many others on here.

    welcome fapvader....i think you'll like this site. Ive just been here for a few days too but already it has a bunch of info thats totally helpful if you are trying to get it out of your life. I'll send you a PM with my fb info if you want to connect there. Sometimes I just find it easier to chat there with someone else going through the same things than to do random postings here.

    Hello and welcome!

    This might sound a bit trite but this is a copied and pasted message because I think its important to greet people but don't have to time to type out the same message every time. So rather than just ignore people I figured it would be good to do this?

    Just to get you started can I just make the following suggestions (and they are only suggestions)?

    1. Head over to the forums at the top of the main page. Don't be shy. Wade in and see what grabs your interest. Start a thread. Help others and be helped just by getting involved. Plus its the PERFECT antidote to fapping!

    2. Check out the website yourbrainonporn if you haven't already and make use of the brilliant resources there.

    3. Consider doing a 90 day reboot and get yourself a tracker (see bottom of this post)

    4. Lighten up! Humour really is the best medicine and can really help you see things from a new and and helpful perspective. (And you need that more than anything right now. Right?)

    5. Consider reading the book 'Changing for Good' by James O Prochaska. Is a particularly helpful tool for those who want to make positive and LASTING change in their life. Several of us have found this to be an indispensable tool.

    7. Don't get into arguments (especially over the usual politics/religion stuff) We are all human here and we are in this together regardless of our chosen 'path' (even if you believe truth is a 'pathless' land!)

    6. Thank the founder of this site Alexander. It really is making the world a better place (I truly believe that!) And credit where its due I say!!

    7. Greet and encourage newcomers...;-)

    All the very best to you :)
