Hi folks. Just introducing myself to the community. Long time PM'er, long time "I should really quit this but ahhhh just one more," thinking person. I'm sick of constantly failing to move past this part of my life. Just found this site, hoping it'll make a difference in my commitment to cut PM from my life entirely.
Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
Current strategies include ... trying not to PM! I don't really have any tricks, in the 4 days since I joined this site, I've gone without any PM whatsoever, though I have engaged in O with my partner on two occasions (which, in my circumstances, is excellent). I don't know if this part has any effect on the overall problem, because in the past what has often happened is even after an O given by my partner, I could easily in the same day find myself craving PMO. I'm actually craving now, and I can already feel myself trying to rationalise it! "Just one! It'll only be quick! You're alone in the house for the next few hours; fast broadband; think of all the HD porn out there you haven't seen yet! Think of all the stuff you know you love and can watch again!" My mind is visualising porn scenes, and when this happens I usually start thinking about it more and more, and most often this occurs when I'm in a situation like this (alone, plenty of time to myself) or when I'm unable to take my mind of it (like driving for 45 mins on a boring route). I'm hoping that my being here at all is a major step in the right direction, because until now I have forever told myself one more wouldn't hurt and I can stop properly at another time, maybe after [insert ambiguous annual event i.e. New Year / birthday here]. I'm writing now because of my cravings, and I'm hoping that "talking it out", even just typing it down like this, will help me.
