Newbie here looking for help

Well this is the place to be! Make sure to come here when you're experiencing urges. I'm not sure if there's a Portugese language Reddit or forum here, but know that you are welcome to share your experiences.

 

I'm in a similar place but not gay. Everything else sounds comparable.
I used PMO (porn-masturbation-orgasm, in case you don't know the term) to deal with the lonliness.

When I started nofap I was mostly like "Nah, that's all bollox (not true)" and "I'm not addicted."
Looking back I 'm still not sure what really is about with me but I can say that there were some positive changes when stopping PMO.
Right now I'm still really struggleing with the loneliness. Guess there's nothing really that can be done unless you're not alone anymore.
Personally, what helped me was meditation. (Check out "Calm" App on google play store for more. It only has a free 7-day trial course but that is a good starting point)
This eases your mind, if only for some time.

And also, you probably know that, but get rid of your personal porn archive. Wether it's a collection of links or downloaded movies or something that has similar simbolic value.
I was never much into streaming movies online so for me it was deleting all my hard disk. It's a tough call but one you'll have to do.
Like with smoking, if you wnat to stop, throw away all smokes (destroy them and don't buy new).

Apart from that, hang in and use this forum.
Do a daily reboot log and read it yourself.
Good luck!

 

Hi all ..I think we're all kind of in a similar boat so let me share my story /thoughts and of course I welcome any and all feedback.

First I think I masterbate a lot out of both boredom and loneliness almost to break the stress and monotony of living alone. I have added to the wrinkle of trying to cope with the boredom and loneliness with having escorts visit me. The health risks aside this obviously isn't viable financially long term and I'm just looking to stop doing this while not masterbating to porn.

I thought Id start first by eliminating the ladies of the evening and only masterbating in the evening before I go to sleep (without the use of porn). I am curious if anyone has any tips on the weening of the masterbating. I have pretty much master bated every day for the last 30 years and if ever anyone had a death grip from their poppy like forearms it's yours truly. ..any tips..strategies always welcome.

Bro very firstly understand that you're not helpless or a victim. We all here are the warriors. Warriors who are fighting against our desires. These desires make us feel good, but as we realize that we are slaves to our desires we feel bad. So we here are rebelling against these desires. Before starting anything we just have the right mental attitude. Once it's done join the #30 days challenge with us.
