Day 40 and Still Counting...

Hi,

I am new here. I have heard about NoFap but never really joined. Having tried many many many times to quit, I almost gave up. At a point I felt, there is no way I'm getting out of this, and the future smelt doom. I hated the future I could envision, but I could not do anything about it - I was trapped. Like a an animal led to the slaughter without any means of escape.

I have attempted PMO free for 48 days before but somehow I relapsed. That shattered my confidence. I thought I had it under control. I was surprised to be back in the loop and even worse as I binged it more than before. I was at a low. Recently I heard about a book Atomic Habit by James Clear, and decided to purchase it on Audible. It gave me the will to start again since I now have a new strategy to apply that I had not known about before. That's the willpower that brought me thus far. I am currently on day 40 PMO free.

Why am I just joining this group? As I approach my record PMO free all-time-high (48 days), I am beginning to wonder what happened that I relapsed. I do not want that to happen again. I thought I was invincible. How I was wrong. So, I stumbled on a post by a Fabstronauts. He reiterated the importance of joining a group and I thought it necessary to join this group as a way to counter anything that might want to pull me back to where I dread to go back to.

It is my hope that I can contribute and benefit from this group. I am not looking back this time, I'm not giving up. I can already see a lot of benefits since going PMO free. By the way, I have been hooked for 26 years. This is where that story ends. I have only One Life to Live and I won't go down in history as someone who wasted the precious life given him because of PMO.

Thank you for reading my post and let's get to work, together.
