    I have a lot to say but I want to keep this short. I've been battling my porn addiction for some time now and now more than ever am i more confident that i will transform myself for good.

    With that being said i want to be here for others that may feel they are alone. Sometimes i wish i was addicted to something else like alcohol or pills because porn addiction is such a misunderstood concept that I honestly feel i can't go to anyone for help.

    SO COME TO THIS THREAD WHETHER YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM LIKE ME AND YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO BEFORE YOU GIVE IN OR YOU JUST WANT TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF NOFAP. I WILL BE ON THIS SITE EVERYDAY TO JOIN YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY TO THE NEW YOU.

    NOTE: I want everyone that joins this thread to visit at least once a day whether you relapse or not. Never give up on yourself. And always be completely honest.

    Go to the last page and join in on the conversation ;)

    Today was also day one for me, so I'll definitely join you. The day is pretty much over for me today. It's almost 9PM. So, day on is a success :D Best of luck to you!

    Yeah, I actually got really excited when I saw this thread and that you were on day one, too... Night time is the worst for me, too. I live with my grandparents right now (I'm 19 but I ran into some financial issues) and my door stays open all day or they get really curious. At night, I don't have to worry about that... This is my first time trying to go PMO free, though, and there's no way I'm screwing this up on the first day! And great :) I'll be on this website frequently, and I'll definitely keep tabs on this thread... You can get a tracker on here too, actually. That's the nofap tracker, quite a few people have it on here.

    Awesome man. Idk what level your addiction is but like other addictions there are initial withdrawal symptoms but fight through them and you'll start feeling like you can take over the world! Friend request accepted

    I lean more towards written erotica than video for the most part. Erotica is an every day thing, and video is more like once or twice a week... I'm not just on here to help with that, though. I'm also hoping to quit masturbating for good. I want my body to get used to not experiencing any sexual gratification, and to get rid of any desire that I have for it.

    Yeah, I know it's going to have it's crappy moments, but I just really feel like this is the right step for me. I've read other people talk about how amazing they start to feel after a while, and I just need to keep in mind that this is going to better my life in so many ways.

    We can do this!

    Welcome, Chris :) I'm hoping to make this a forever thing, so I'm in it for the long haul with you! As far as the tracker... If I remember correctly, just click on someone's progress bar (such as mine) and it will take you to the page to make your own.

    Yeah it does get crappy almost like going to hell and back. I don't want to get too into that (i don't want to scare anyone off lol) but i just went through 28 days after watching porn at least once a day for years and I accomplished and learned and just felt more in this past month than i have for a long time, so I'm really glad to see your in it for the long haul.

    I feel like you already read since your into reading erotica but i know that one thing that helps me a lot is reading.

    Just know i am holding you to your word VeganCannibal hell yeah we can do this :D

    Awesome TheApprentice, I think we're sharing the same mindsets. Cold Turkey too, I'm on day 5. :) Let's help each other through this.

    Get the tracker! It'll make you prouder with each passing (successful) day. :)

    Yeah just got the tracker. I set the goal to 30 days but i feel it this time, i know I'm done for good. Only thing left now is to prove it. I was seriously addicted but i just went 28 days before relapsing yesterday and i remember during the first two weeks i was feeling supper groggy and tired. I was done with life by 3pm lmao

    But yeah lets do it bro I'm here if you ever need me. All i ask is that you are 100% honest with me. And that goes for everyone ;)

    You know, I have been trying to quit pornography for quite some time, but I feel that whenever I get to around the 4th-6th day, my body loses all sense of reason. It's really frustrating, and I would like some tips as to how to get rid of that disgusting feeling. Anyone have any advice?

    I do read quite a bit, but it's been more and more erotica as of late. Today (or rather yesterday, as it's 1AM here) was the first time I've read something that wasn't erotica in months. Started The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. To help me through this, I'm going to be throwing myself into books/nerdy TV shows, crafts, FINALLY studying for my driver's license, and healthy eating/exercise. Keeping myself distracted seems like the best route... And we're getting more people, so yay for support! We can ALL do this! :D

    Hey thanks Harley. I think a big step in making a change for the better is becoming completely self reliant while still maintaining a genuine connection with other people. Looks like our problems aren't that different although i've never gone to a bookstore for sex

    What's up TheKiraOfJustice. Wow alot more people than i expected but I'm loving it. I think it's about becoming more in tune with yourself, finding the root of what causes that feeling and starting from there. If your addiction is anything like mine i can say it's not going to be easy and you will have to face many truths that may hurt but im certain that you can get past this

    Hopefully i did this reply with quote thing right this time...
    Please keep me updated with what your reading and i'll do the same. I've been reading like crazy lately. (Trying to go back to some of my old ways when i would stay up late reading Harry Potter as a kid)(Yes i saw your bio :p) And I'll be a personal trainer in a couple of months if you have any questions about excercise. I'm still learning about eating healthy so i may not be much help there.
    And be careful that your not "running away" while keeping busy and go get your license your 19! :)

    Most of the erotica I read is fandom-based. I read A LOT of fanfiction... I don't think I've read a fanfic that wasn't rated Explicit for years... That's one thing that I'm going to work on in the next few days is finding and enjoying fanfiction without the smut.
