Quitting Porn

Hi all, it's Retro Girl.

My mission is simple, to quit porn.

I've read a lot of stuff about the effects of porn on the brain and it makes a lot of sense to me! So I'm going to give it a real try. Been using from quite a young age but I don't think I'll be quitting M for now, just P. I'll see how I go with that. Hope to get some help and encouragement from this forum and to meet some other fapstronauts!

All the best,

Retro Girl

 

Thank you for the welcome and good wishes! I'm really hoping this site and its community will be a great help.

 

Hey @Retro Girl ,

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.

PS:

For me NoFap is 1/2 program & 1/2 fellowship.

Click on these people and post a "hello" on their profiles.

I've found that the bricks that hold this community together are cemented with the support of the members of the fellowship.

Look at with whom they exchange messages and you will find more profiles.

So, if you would have found more profiles yourself, why suggest these particular ones as a start? Those relationships started with just saying hello. So, my ESH is that saying hello has kept the fellowship alive for myself.

Looking forward to your success and in seeing you say hello on these profiles.

 

Thank you @StopTheMusic, that's a wonderful post and very helpful, thanks also for the warm welcome!

 

Hey @Retro Girl ,

Glad you are here.
