"I've got a problem, but it ain't like what you think..."

Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and not judge you. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

 

Hi @chickenboy , welcome to NoFap
You are not the only "high-achiever" here. I am like you. Always excelled in what I do, the popular guy in every crowd, very successful in my job and even teaching in one of the most renowned universities in the country (and the world).
I always hided my problems behind PMO, this is very typical of porn addicts.
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

Welcome. Feel free to discuss whatever you want. Many of us have strolled through nearly every corner of porn, and know the challenges.

I have a saying that I think I found in a parable in the 'art of war'. I like it, but I don't know if the words are exact, but.. Great people do great things not when they are great, but when they are small and often unseen. Let many people help make your issues small and unseen.
