Hello to you all fapstronauts here

Hello, how is it going? Hope you are keeping well. It's rebisciuit.eb here, I'd rather keep my name for myself and btw. don't ask about the nickname I just came up with it and it totally doesn't make any sense. So basically, I am about to turn 21 and been trying to give up PMOing for a few years now I think. My goal in that is well, to keep it short, I went through really deep depression last year and well I am on a good way to beat it. Through that process, I found out that PMOing just makes it worse. I mean, whenever I am able to keep a streak over one week I definitely start to feel benefits of it (i.e. better self-esteem). Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to make it for more than two weeks I think so far. So.. I hope that this time is gonna be the last 1st day on my way out of this "bad habit". With your support guys, I feel like this time it's really gonna come true. You are an amazing society (been reading nofap forum for about half a year I think) and I wish you all good luck guys

 

Oh well, mostly relying on a will-power. I'd tried porn blockers and stuff in the past, but I am too clever in lying myself over so it always ended the same way.. So far, I sort of found out a way of controlling my mind when the urge comes (dunno if u know that strange feeling.. it's this sort of feeling that you, just by thinking strongly enough not to do that again, you can feel like the urge "vanishes". Hope u get it). Also the panic button helped me a few times. Well, when I was in a deppresive period, my libido went down as well so it was quite easy to abstain from PMO, however it was a good starting point. It relieved my self-confidence about giving it up.

Good to hear some warm welcoming words just in the beggining!

@Jam122 that's sad to hear tbh. I mean I wouldn't like to wish anybody from here to go through this sort of stuff, but I hope u keep well. Anyway, cheers mate I wish u a successful one as well!

 

Thanks, I am reading this free e-book about getting started with all that stuff, I guess it contains simillar info to the one You linked (?)

 

Well, he asked me about methods. I've already had that attitude and it's been the most successful one so far to me, however I still relapsed a few times. This forum gives me the best motivation so far (even though i gotta reset my counter, I'll explain that in my diary in a while). It kinda makes me feeling guilty when I have to admit I have relapsed to other guys who made it much more far than I did, so I am trying to catch it up Hope you understood, it's quite late in Poland now

 

Good to hear somebody emphasised with it. Wishing you a good one here. Good luck on your way out of it dude. The way is more important than the goal itself. Remember it.
