    Hi everyone, I have been masturbating since the age of 12. However recently i believe this action that i have been addicted to has started to meddle with my daily life activities and studying. I feel like my memory has been receding, i cant remember things that i used to recall instantly. I need help to stop. I know this is a natural behavior doing it but anything in excess is harmful to the body. I hope the NoFap community will help me stick to my commitment of controlling my urges and stop masturbation.

    Well currently, I have stopped staying alone in my room. Have made a commitment to work out 5 days a week and everytime i even think about masturbating/watching porn i come to the panic button. Furthermore i have been advise to use 3rd party apps to help with sort of rewiring your brain.

    Some strategies that some have found helpful:
    • Read three articles a day in a field you are interested in.
    • 20 minutes of meditation at least once a day (twice a day is better--start with 5 minutes, gradually increase.)
    • Drink about 2 liters of water per day.
    • Exercise for 30 minutes each day.
    • Learn time management. (Many articles on line)
    • Learn about self confidence and motivation. (RSDTyler on youtube is great.)
    • Get at least 6-7 hours of sleep.
    • Learn a new skill, something you always wanted to do.
    • Take online courses. (Udemy has lots of free ones)
    • Read a self help book.
    • Go out and socialize.
