Not looking forward to this, but things have to change.

Hi there @SleepyShade, good to see you here.

Simply abstaining from PMO is a good start, but it's not the full story. PMO is your main source of endorphins at the moment. As you shut that behaviour down, you need to get another source of endorphins, or you are really going to feel bad. So try to add things into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't want to engage in PMO. Think about doing:

• Something you enjoy
• Something you're good at
• Something important
• Something for somebody else, without thought of reward

Taking some time to learn about this problem will really help in your recovery. Plus, it will take you away from Porn for a while. Read the reboot material (available here => http://www.nofap.com/getting-started) and then come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good information and good advice, so don't skip it!

Also, this is a great post from a nofap veteran about what kind of things could help you during your reboot => https://forum.nofap.com/index.php?threads/time-to-be-done-with-this.140257/page-25#post-1442099

As you start your recovery, perhaps start writing a journal? If you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other, and you may find very useful insights from someone outside your age group or part of the world.

Look around the forums, get to know people. Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

Congratulations on reaching day 4. I wish you a successful reboot.
