Got a Cup O Joe, and I'm ready to start the challenge! I am here because I want to stop masturbating. I really don't like the affect it has on me, both mentally and physically. But an even bigger reason is I want to stop for my girlfriend. Every time I masturbate or watch porn I feel like I am stealing something from her. My goal is to make it 100 days with no Masturbation or Porn. Me and my girl are in a long distance relationship, we don't have sex, but do get each other off. Is that something I should allow or should I count that as a reset? I have tried to stop before, but I want to get serious about taking on the challenge. Have a good one y'all. -Sny

Hey @SnydlyWhiplash I'm just a normal ordinary member. No moderator super powers and no special insite. I share my ESH (Experience, Strength and Hope) of what works for me. Just another warm welcome and a heart felt hello. This community has helped me so much. What worked for me was "working" it. It took hard work for me to complete a hard reboot (No pmo) for 120 days, then move into a Sex Positive mode. First, reading the literature published by NoFap itself along with reading journals. Then, doing the work. Writing in my journal and replying to introductions and other's journals. Finally, but not least, getting involved with the fellowship. I found it on the forums, but also in people's profiles. The forums tend to be longer posts, where the profiles tend to be more "conversational". That is what has worked for me. I like to remind myself that this community was here waiting for me with the lights on when I arrived. Now, I have to do my best to be there when someone comes to the community. * L PS: Say Hello to a few members. Just open their profile and say "hi" and introduce yourself. You'll find a great community. This is only a short list. There are many many more great people on here. @GeeWhizz Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/152127/ --- @julianstone Journals at https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/146584/ --- @PatrickR Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/139570/ --- @HerculesStop Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/140098/ --- @zakes Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/149243/ --- @DavidGibson Journals at: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/143325/
@StopTheMusic Thank you so much for stopping in and saying hello and for the tips! What was the cue at 120 days that you had finished your reboot? And I would agree the literature the forums provides was very well received! keep in touch, journal update probably later tonight, not a whole lot going on, in classes most the day so that helps keep the edge off. -snyd
