Hello everyone!
This is my 1st post, so let me tell you something about myself. I'm 17 and half a year ago I discovered YBOP (although my reboot is a bit longer), and that's when I understood the impact porn has your brain, that it's an actual addiction like alcohol or smoking, etc
I have started fapping (without P) about 5 years ago, in Jan of 2010, because some of my friends told me how good it feels to have orgasm... well, they were right, but I had some kind of moral obligation to MOing, so I wanted to stop it; I tried hard and finally, in 2013 I had a streak of 3,5 months of Nofap. That was time I was constantly challenged (academically), really pushed myself and was never bored (and boredom is probably my biggest trigger); I didn't even think about fapping...And when the challenge was over, porn came into my life.
I had watched it before, but just occasionally, but since May 2013 it, unfortunately, became an almost regular thing to do. Since I didn't like the mere fact that I PMOed (for the same reasons I wanted to quit fapping) , I tried to get rid of it with varied success until about August 2014; since then the frequency of PMOing went up for some reason, and in December I truly went on binge fapping (17 times in a month). I wanted to make a fresh start in the new year, but I PMOed on the very first day of it, and this really annoyed me and convinced me that I'll have better chances if I join the RN. That's why I'm here.
Also, I have my reasons (like everyone here has) to quit PMO. One of them is that it's just disgraceful to masturbate (even though some people say it's alright, you wouldn't boast about it in front of girls), and even more disgraceful to PMO; another is that while in my teenhood I (basically) only studied and MOed/PMOed, others actually went out, socialised, had relationships, did sports, i.e. didn't waste their time, and now they are the people that are popular and never have the problems like shyness, lack of confidence, and so on that many of PMOers have. Basically, I want to change, and change my life for good.
In addition, what I can tell from my experience, is that successful rebooting comes down to the fact whether you're able to resist your urges, cravings, or just desire to kill time with PMO, or not; K9 or everything else that helps you during your reboot will not make the decision for you - you need to say no and let your brain heal a bit more
Happy New Year!
