Hello NoFap!

Hi @jtk004 , welcome to NoFap
It is a big step if you can understand what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear.

I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up.
I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down:

I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too:

You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post:

I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction.

Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too.

I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction.
Let's keep on fighting

Hey Josh! Welcome!

I'm 17 and I've been struggling with this since I was 11 or 12. Although I'm not married, I understand the shame it causes, and the rifts it creates in relationships. I started NoFap 18 days ago, and I am currently 18 days clean of Porn/Masturbation/Orgasm (PMO). The community has been a wonderful encouragement to me, and it keeps me accountable.

Here's a link explaining some of the jargon that is used on the site.

I have K9 web protection, and I made it so it blocks porn and forces google safe search. Then I made a random password that I didn't know, so that I couldn't switch the admin settings. It works well, although I haven't tried to get around it. K9 is free by the way.

I highly recommend being active on the site, not only starting your own daily journal, but throwing in a word of encouragement here and there to fellow warriors. It really helps me to stay strong when I'm helping others.

Blessings.

 

Welcome to NoFap where, as you have seen, you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and not judge you.

What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
