Tired of trying, and trying, and trying...

Welcome, you’re in the right place here to get support and work on this.

 

Every post here seems to help me in some way. Good luck!

 

Hi. Welcome to forum!

Make sure you create a personal journal thread in Reboot Logs section and blog there on a regular basis. As well as just generally be active participant in various forum discussions. I recommend this to everybody new here because it's the major thing that helped me when I was first starting. Just lurking on forums, reading and learning is great. But it usually is so much more powerful to engage. It helps to keep us motivated and accountable when we are active part of community. And keeps this in front of our minds so we don't forget about importance of it and slip away in our old habits. Sharing is also therapeutic. This is a major reason why AA meetings work so good. But that was developed before internet era. These days we can get most of the same benefits online through communities like this. So don't underestimate the power of active participation.

I would also like to suggest you to look into mindfulness meditation. It has helped me personally tremendously to learn how to deal with urges and triggers. It takes a while to get good at it and notice results, so you need to be consistent with it, but once you do it's very powerful. It has been used by sages for thousands of years to deal with various issues of the mind. And in recent decades the science is also catching up to what ancient sages have know for centuries. Meditation these days are widely used as very effective tool by psychologists for treating addiction and by neurologists for supporting recovery of the brain. It is a great exercise for the brain the same way as jogging is great exercise for the body. Check out this Ted talk, it gives a good idea of what's it about when it comes to philosophy. As far as practical side of it there is this awesome smartphone app called Headspace for guided meditations to get you started.

Wish you lot's of strength and success in your reboot journey!

 

Keep trying, and trying, and trying...

Man, i've relapsed on 81 and 110 days of no PMO with the SAME kind of shit I used to watch... It's really hard...

And congractulations for the project, we really need some translated material in Brazil.

OBS: Você é brasileiro também? Parabéns pra vocês pelo site! A gente precisa de mais divulgação aqui. O NoFap já se tornou uma espécie de estilo de vida nos States, mas aqui é só uma ideia esquisita cheia de "ain, isso é moralismo", "ain, cada um é cada um", etc

 

É nóis!*

* OBS: a brazilian slang that literally translated means "It's us!". It sounds like "we get it"

 

Brasileiro também chegando hj e precisando sair dessa urgente !!!

 

acabei de entrar aqui nessa comunidade do NoFap... não vejo a hora de para com esse vício e ter uma vida social e ficar animado pra vida.

 

Olha aí rapaz, os brasileiros tomando conta.

Sejam bem vindos!

 

You are definitely in the right place, my friend! I work at home, using the Internet for my living and I live alone. I understand the challenges. You CAN do this, though!

There are a lot of good resources here. There is the List of Resources found here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-users-list-of-rebooting-resources.50878/

There are also groups you can join with likeminded men.

Three things I found extremely valuable are:
-getting an accountability partner; that forum is here: https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?forums/accountability-partners.7/

-starting a journal and writing in it daily. You'll find that section under Reboot Logs. I would also suggest reading others' journals and other posts.

-interact with the guys here. You will find an amazing community of supportive, motivating guys all on the same journey as you are.

You don't have to do this alone. We're all in this together, and together we are stronger.

Welcome to NoFap, my friend! I'm proud of you for joining and glad you're here.

 

You're welcome! I just followed your journal. Very interesting stuff. I wonder if some of my own memory issues have the same possible roots. Always feel free to reach out with questions or just to stay in touch.
