DONT WAIT!

Hey fellow Fapstronauts!

I've noticed myself that sometimes I need advice or people to speak with in real time instead of waiting for a response on the forums (I imagine I am not the only one). I wanted to make something to accomplish this, somewhere you can come when you need faster responses and advice, to make it a more personal and hard hitting/working tool for our struggle.

Please continue to use the forums! they are wonderful help! this would only be a supplemental tool!

So I've decided to make a channel on discord where people can meet up and chat and help each other. This is a non-official nofap server where we can chat in real time with each other. (there may be other things like this, I am just creating my own!)

I am currently going to school to become a psychologist for these exact issues. I am not a professional (yet), But, I have a great background in helping those with this struggle through internships at my university and my personal life (so both professional and personal). I will strive to give good scientifically backed advice on how to deal with your struggle, advice that is personalized to you. If you need proof to be comforted that my advice is solid, please read through some of my posts on the forums here. I will also cite any information if asked to do so, giving you the information that is scientifically backed for you to interpret yourself! (tons of studies about recovery from sex addiction (a hotly contested term, referred to as Sexually compulsive behavior or Hypersexuality in the mental health field) are being done regularly and the information from them may help you be more successful in your recovery.)

I hope others will join me in finding and giving good advice backed by science! (I know there are some already! However, I have noticed a problem with people applying personal advice to others and expecting it to work... sometimes unhealthy advice)

I can not be your professional therapist, but I can be the next best thing if you need it (and many others on here I hope will, one man can only handle so much, but I promise to make some time for ya!). I can schedule times just for you and me to chat live or through text (time constraints and personal life should be considered!). This will be anonymous and safe and if anything, will be another tool for you to use if you ever need it.

I feel immense pride in helping those who struggle with what I have struggled with!

I'm just a guy with some tools I want to share and help people with. I am in no way doing this for monetary gain or ulterior motives.

Message me with a brief description of your struggle (please do not include names or personally identifying information, I want you to walk away feeling safe, secure, and anonymous) for an invite to the server!

If you are not aware of discord, it is a text and voice app that can be used through your browser or downloaded onto your computer. It is easy and free to sign up for, just ask me how to do so!

I will create personal channels to those who want to do a Accountability partner/s system through discord(a super easy way to check in with those you confide in),
I will be open to advice on how to better the structure of the discord,
I will include a blog type advice area where I will post links to helpful information/studies and websites and answer questions that I feel are applicable to the general audience,
I will moderate the channels and delete trolling messages and ban those who are actively trying to counter recovery.

Again, Please continue to use the forums! they are wonderful help! this would only be a supplemental tool!

Thanks for reading! Keep moving forward, you will look back and be proud of what you overcame!
