    Hey everyone, I'm new to NoFap and was introduced today from reading a book called "Your Brain on Porn" by Gary Wilson.

    I've been struggling with pornography and masturbation from the age of 13 and now I'm 23. It's been very difficult as the longest I've been without it is 14 days over the 10 year period.

    As I'm based in London UK, going to the GP (doctors) for help wasn't particularly helpful as the conditions provided wasn't sufficient for any sort of medication or advice to even say "stop masturbating". Until I've stumbled on probably the most helpful site to exist to realise that I'm not alone and we are all in this together to abstain from this.

    I experience symptoms of brain fog, extreme cases of fatigue, tiredness and desensitisation. I believe pornography is the reason I prefer to stay at home, not socialise and interact, to even stop me from chasing my dreams.

    I do have hope that I will defeat every single day successfully. Starting from now.

    Bring on the rest of 2017 and 2018!
     
  2. Hey @Femi ,

    Welcome to NoFap! You are in the right place. My experience here is that I needed to learn the program and also get involved with the community.

    The best resource I found was the “Getting Started with NoFap” guide. It is on the NoFap homepage and you can download it for free from this link https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

    Then, watch this video:



    It is really good and explains so much about how the blasting of porn images into the brain in high definition on high speed internet while slamming porn sounds into the ears with headphones can literally change the way your brain demands sexual stimulation.

    The video explains it better than I can.

    Also, a great page is https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/ my experience is that by reading every link and watching every video, I learned so much.

    Then, I got involved with the community. I'm not anyone special on here, I don't have any magic powers. But, I can say hello to new members, post my journal entries, remember to “like” peoples posts, and offer my experience, strength and hope where appropriate.

    Looking forward to seeing you around on the forums,

    L
