New guy here

Welcome challenge, and good luck.

 

Hi! Just wishing you all the best with your transition into a healthier you!

You CAN do this and there's plenty of information, help, and advice here and healthy balance of perspectives so help and be helped just by making an honest contribution.

Anything I suggest below is precisely that, a suggestion, this is YOUR journey and of course it goes without saying that you are free to proceed in whatever way helps you stop and STAY stopped (even though I just said it!!)

You are stronger than you know!! Please visit this link...

...print it if you have to (whatever suits?) , or ignore it, but at the very least please take some time to help yourself to reach your fullest potential which is a CHOICE only YOU can make and a journey only YOU can take...

...so what's it gonna be???

It's worth mentioning that I hear a lot of people refer to the struggle/fight/battle etc, but it REALLY doesn't have to be that way(not unless you want to get in your OWN way?!?!)... http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthrea...ay-of-Harmony:)

So stay strong, help and be helped, and keep going!http://www.nofap.org/forum/showthrea...60-Keep-going:)

Wishing you love, peace, happiness, freedom, (and self-reliance!)


P.S. Change is a process and as the old saying goes, "Those who fail to plan are planning to fail". With this in mind I simply cannot recommended enough a book called 'Changing for Good' by James O Prochaska which is a tried and tested 6 stage programme designed to help you make positive and LASTING change in your life, especially when dealing with any kind of behaviours/addictions you know are doing you no good but which you are finding difficult to break free from. And just by means of encouragement I stopped heavy drinking, smoking, and cannabis on the same day in 2008 and I have not touched any of them since. Understanding and following the principles outlined in this extremely practical book played a big part in my full 'recovery' i.e. I simply DO NOT drink.and smoke anymore and am 100% certain I never will again.

The counter below has been helping me to establish a new habit. It is not a trophy. I simply decided to completely disassociate from pornography because I finally woke up to it and the damage it causes on so many levels and I encourage you to explore this deeper for yourself. I already KNOW that I will NOT be looking at pornography EVER again. Wishing you all the very best in all areas of your life...
