I am nearly 28 and I am from Poland. Beautiful country by the way. Sorry for mistakes in my writing, which could occur in my present post. And probably in the followings I am here because I want to change my life. I have been visiting this forum for a long time. With some breaks […]
I have been on nofap for one year now after being on a 15 year binge of pornography, masturbation, dishonesty and loneliness. The first time I watched porn I was 13 years old; it was also the first time I masturbated. I would wake up at 5am to watch porn before my parents woke and […]

From a PMO, weed, drugs, cigarettes, paid sex addict to become a clean person now in just 4 months has been a great achievement from me. Perhaps, I have sunken down so low that the only way to go was up. And the past has been a great lesson for me to realize how brainwashed […]
My Nofap journey has been truly transformative over the last few months. I can say with full certainty who I was when I began this path is no longer who I am today. I feel transformed, empowered, and rejuvenated in so many ways. With that said, I can also say from experience that Nofap alone […]
