Well, i just joined and i just wanted to get out my reasons for being here. I hope to break my porn addiction as it has been ruining my life. I'm a teenager and ever since i started my hair has been thinning, i've been breaking out like crazy and have been eating like crazy after fapping. My face is a complete wreck, hair makes me embaressed and ive gained too much weight. I'm also terrible socially akward and ive noticed that when i dont masterbate for a few days my skin isnt as oily and i'm less anxious. I really hope this will help me stop and fix myself and live a more confident, better life at school.
Hey man, welcome. Just know that NoFap is not the fix for all your problems in your life, but simply a catalyst. You can't expect benefits with no action taken to better yourself besides not jerking off. Keeping old habits can constantly lead to re-lapse. You just have to find out things that work for you. Remember that no matter what, if you relapse or just view porn, you can always move forward and learn what happened and how you can stop it so you have a inch of progress. For most guys on here, including me, you're not going to succeed first attempt. Or second. It's gonna take a while before you can really be good at NoFap. Just remember some simple rules man: If you see a hot girl, or guy, take only 3 seconds to look and move on. I suggest keeping away from the Internet and technology on weekends, and instead call up a friend to hang out or go read a book, work out or simply meditate. Keep tabs on your urges and what seems to be the source and triggers of these urges. The first few days are so hard man, and I still myself haven't got past them. But believe me man, once you get going, you'll never want to stop.
