Hi all. I am super excited to meet you all be a part of NoFap community. I am 25 years old male currently working. I got exposed to porn when I was 11 years old. It is the same age when I did my first mastrubation. For the last 14 years (while writing this, I calculated the number of years which hurts me badly), I am addicted to mastrubation. It lead to depression, anxiety, unable to think clearly, objectifying women as sexual objects, unable to speak with female with respect and dignity, lack of motivation, less immune, low will power, hair fall, skin problems, no excitement or enthusiasm in life, no extracurricular habits other than day to day work, no vision for life or goals, no consistency in anything I do. I decided to quit porn and mastrubation to get get back my life on track and have complete control over it. My rebooting parameters are quitting porn and mastrubation together. I'm starting from today. So my streak is 0. I want to continue for years. But rather than being too ambitious (since it's a 14 years old habit) I would like to start with 7 days challenge and slowly improve to a month and an year challenge. With God's grace and community support, I believe I can get back my lost 14 years of life.
You’re on the right track. Good thinking by setting your goals small and then building. Use this forum for help, there’s a lot of people here who will understand you.
Starting with small goals is indeed very good. Especially if this is your very first try! Like many others I share most of your problems. I think we can all understand each other even if we all have different stories Goodluck on this journey!
Successfully completed Day 2! Trying to keep myself busy. There is a saying that idle mind is devil's workshop.
Good job, keep it up. Resist temptations and think about why you want to stop, who you want to become and what good it will do to relapse if you are struggling. I'm partially speaking to myself now
Successfully completed Day 7! I am so happy that I finished one week challenge. I am extending it to one more week to participate in 14 Days challenge with God's grace. Help me lord!
Successfully completed Day 10! Feeling so energetic and positive. Less stress while working. More clear in thinking. Could see a significant rise in will power.
Successfully completed Day 14! 2 weeks challenge accomplished. I'm so proud. Extending the challenge to one more week. It's a 21 day challenge. I would like to genuinely thank the community for the wishes and likes. Thank you.
