Hello @Sidfantasy and welcome to NoFap you have come to the right place. And since you already know its a problem your off to a good start! One thing that has worked for me consistently is to keep busy with stuff that doesnt involve porn or pmo. There is nothing more important than you studying, except your family so start by getting rid of any porn links, videos clips or images that might cause you to relapse. You've gotta work hard on school when you are young or you wont make enough money to enjoy your life with things that matter like vacations, clothes, food, relationships basically everything good in life. Once you get older work will be much harder than school and if you dont take advantage of your education now, its gonna be much harder to educate yourself later when you dont make enough money and have to struggle to make ends meet. You have the power to change all that now, you just have to make the effort to try. Start by doing a full reboot where you dont do pmo or anything else sexually related and rebuild yourself from the ground up. Im on day 36 myself and the more days I get under my belt the easier it gets. Start a journal where you post your thoughts and experiences and problems to purge the feelings of pmo guilt and to start to learn about yourself. Also spend some time here reading other peoples journals and learning that they are not much different than yourself and what they do to resist their urges. Once you have some time under your belt then you can share with others what has worked for you. Also spend some time here and welcome other newcomers, by helping others we really help ourselves and the more time you are here the less time you will have to think about pmo. Check your inbox for an email which gives you a lot of information about pmo, and how porn affects the brain, and at the top of this page there is a panic button and if you feel the urge to relapse check the panic button for inspirational quotes tips and images and movies which will help you resist the urges. I wish you lots of luck on your journey

 

Welcome to NoFap @Sidfantasy

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.
To get more focus and feel happier with life I recommend you to start doing meditation.. I have been using an App called Headspace for the last two months which is great if you have never meditated before. The first 10 sessions are free if you want to give a try. I used to feel a bit depressed or feeling without energy to start new projects in my life, and meditation has helped me a lot with this.

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

Hello @Sidfantasy and welcome to the NoFap community. You're in the right place and there are a lot of really good people here to support you (and each other) on this journey. Here are some things that I found helpful:

There are a lot of good resources here. There is the List of Resources found here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

There are also groups you can join with likeminded men.

Three things I found extremely valuable are:
-getting an accountability partner; that forum is here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/accountability-partners.7/

-starting a journal and writing in it daily. You'll find that section under Reboot Logs. I would also suggest reading others' journals and other posts.

-interact with the guys here. You will find an amazing community of supportive, motivating guys all on the same journey as you are.

You don't have to do this alone. We're all in this together, and together we are stronger.

Welcome to NoFap, my friend! I'm proud of you for joining and glad you're here.

All my best!
Jay
