    Hello all,

    When I was a teen I used to watch a lot of porn, and I was very horney.

    I remember a doctor did a body scan that shows body waves, and my sexual organ was a red zone. The doctor told my mom that I should get married quickly. I was young then but I always wonder about that, should I have gotten married at a young age.. anyway I didn't get married I went to college and turned to a sexualy active machine (not proud of it).

    After college I went home and started maturing to the ways of the working man, plus I started getting into religion. I stopped drinking at this stage among other things as well. I started fapping again at this stage as I wanted to stop being a sex hungry animal. It got better and slowly I let it go. It did come back every now and then but it wasn't so bad.

    Where I am now is married to an awesome and pretty partner and I have two wonderful kids.

    I've been working a day job and writing articles on a social media platform after work to try to get some extra income. The problem is in social media you come across a lot of porn spam, and it gets me fapping again instead of working (this is after midnight usually when every one has gone to bed).

    Now I'm back into the habit again and it's killing me. I found this site and thought I'd give it a try, so yeah, take it easy on me please and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    PS. I don't want to stop working on social media, I'd rather beat this addiction so I can work better.

  6. Hi @John doe (jar) 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
