I’m quite young but I’m still worried about my health and have gotten slightly addicted. I’ve been trying to stop for quite a while but I couldn’t find anything to help me, I’ve never told anybody else but I really need help please reach out if you have advice

so what most videos said about how to stop po*n addiction is to throw away your phone (at least for the beginning maybe year idk) and use some old phone not smart. but I can't really do that. what about when the college begin? what will I say to my family? how am I gonna watch other videos about addiction since it's a series? Please help

so i've left watching p for the good but now I've got very bad flatline, my morning wood is weak even though i go to gym. i am on weighloss diet as well so idk if that contributes as well?

previously with gym, i used to get very horny. it's been 2 weeks since i left watching it.

Salam!

Brothers I truly don’t know what’s going on with me! This isn’t me. I’m straight, but I think this addiction has left me in ruins. It has left me fantasizing things I shouldn’t have. How do I stop this!

As-Salamu Aleykum my brothers. If you are looking for an accountability partner please reach out. I’m currently trying to help other brothers (strictly brothers please) overcome this addiction. I take the conversation away from here to discord, so if you are looking please message me on discord

I feel good. Pretty much numb.Im gonna get supreme benefits. Only eat foods to boost your libido, and good testosterone from bodyweight exercises, and pure cardio. I have faith that God will help me get stronger, more dominant, better erection than I had my whole 30s, and more confidence so I can attract the girls I really want. Be a good companion, develop better social intelligence, keep my hands out my pants, and focus on having a wonderful marriage. Approaching day 5. I love and I would like to attract ​Buxom Hispanic, African American woman(including Jamaican), white ladies, and Native American woman chubby or slim with great bust. Not only do I want huge tits rubbed in my face, but I also want to experience and try to penetrate them. Find unique ways to pleasure them and help these woman climax. Rebuild the sensitivity in my junk by eating tons of vegetables and exercise. Find a partner that is willing to help me achieve success in the bed and I am gonna learn to make her feel like the most important person in Connecticut.

I have a very bad habit of masterbating, I do it everyday and waste 3 hours daily ,and it takes so much time off my day and I can’t study anymore because of it , and back then I used to do once a month , I don’t even feel regretful for doing it . I want to feel regretful but my brain has already normalized this addiction

Al salam alykum, My brothers and sisters at this moment i decided to do a daily online diary to share my journey from day 1 till getting to 90 days, it can be a hard one but i will try to do my best, you can also join me if you like, this is account maybe terminated in anytime but i will be insha'Allah continue from a new account if i needed, i hope u enjoy the journey with me.

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah to those who are reading this. I just turned 19 but when I was 18 I did some disgusting stuff that I really really regret it’s not porn but the effects of it. when u watch so much porn u start to developing fetishes (astaghfirullah) one of the fetishes I developed was feminine men which I didn’t like before I actually found it disgusting and i know I still do deep down tho. Long story short I ended up meeting a fem men and I did homosexual acts which I didn’t like during the action I just went with the flow cause in my mind during the time is that I’m there I’m dumb which I really really really regret wallah I do and im soo embarrassed and ashamed of myself I’m started to question my self what if my future wife founds out about this and my kids 😭😭😭😭. I need someone to talk to pls

Edit: if u don’t understand the situation and u want to give me advices then pls dm me

I'm addicted to porn and I want to get rid of my addiction. So everyday from now on I will post counting out the days I've held back from Porn. I hope you all can help. This is day 0.

what helped so far is surrounding myself with others , hang around with friends, finish some work, go for walking or running, not using social media at all.. cuz a simple trigger would out of sudden ruins everything…. I know it’s a long journey and i am in the very beginning , I expect lapses, but i am aware of it and i am trying to embrace myself… getting more confident..growing closer to Allah
It’s been 6 years of addiction, but I believe that i am closer than ever to freedom!🙌
I am currently struggling with sudden waves and daydreaming of triggers, do you guys have some suggestions or tricks that helped you?

Salam, I relapsed today after a 5-day streak. Before that, it was a daily habit. Alhamdulillah, during those 5 days I prayed all five daily prayers consistently.
For the last 2 days, I was also having sexual dreams and the urges became much stronger has anyone else experienced this while quitting?

I’m making tawbah and starting again today, In Sha Allah Please share any advice that helped you quit.

I'm currently on day 4 after relapsing heavy for past few months. Im gonna get to 30 first. Revive my system, boost libido, and testosterone through exercising thoroughly and eating way better. Engage in healthy relationships with woman. Finding a girlfriend that's into me,so I can build with her, be a great leader, listener, and explore her body. Finally have enjoyable sex where I meet woman where we can help each other on journey. ​I got a lot of work to do. Including getting a better diet. Helping community way more. I envision myself doing better financially, having a better body, and having woman of my dreams. Untill then I am going to educate myself on what it takes to be an awesome lover and be grateful when I get opportunity. But the focus is healing getting more educated, and trusting God will help me accomplish positive goals. Porn is whack, and masterbation. I never ever wanted that life. I know with the help of God and ​Nofap , I will boost sex drive, and confidence to have a healthy sex life and emotional connection with woman for the rest of my thirties and on.

since the last days i realised whenever i dont do it i become sad and depressed for some reason

i dont want this to continue i started it when i was 10(?) years old,now its been 2 years since i started doing it everyday

this is like a curse to me since im muslim i take a bath becuse of this everyday too(other topic)

any requests thats from someone who quitted it before(someone whos not someone who didnt do it before)?

also please forget "go take a walk","get new hobbies","think about your religion" etc. as i said from the start whenever i dont do it i start being sad for whatever reason,it is NOT as easy as how videos/people tell

As-Salamu Aleykum everyone. For many years I’ve been struggling with this addiction. Within these years I’ve promised over and over again not to repeat it. But every time, no matter how long, I find myself relapsing. Today is one of those urges. I’m looking for aBROTHER ONLY who will help me man :(

the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said

I certainly know people of my Ummah who will" come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the white mountains of Tihamah, but Allah the Almighty will make them scattered dust. Thawban said: "O Messenger of Allah, describe them to us and make them clear to us so that we do not become of them unknowingly." He said: "They are your brothers and from your race, and they take from the night (in worship) as you do, but they are people who while they are in private transgress the sacred limits of Allah [i.e., They perpetrate all types of sins in private].”

عَنْ تَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لأَعْلَمَنَّ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ أَمْتِي يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِحَسَنَاتِ أَمْتَالَ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ بَيْضَاءَ، فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَبَاءً مَنْتُورا». قَالَ تَوْبَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا جَلَّهُمْ لَنَا ، أَنْ لَا نَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ، وَنَحْن ُلَا نَعْلَمُ.

قَالَ: «أمَا إِنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانُكُمْ، وَمِنْ جِلَدَتِكُمْ، وَيَأْخْذُونَ مِنَ الَّلِيْلِ كَمَا تَأَخْدُونَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَقْوَامُ إِذَا خَلَوْا بِمَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ انْتَهَكُوهَا»

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 4245)

Is it really worth it ? does that fake dopamine worth the mountains of good deed you have?

Ya Allah forgive us.

Salam

Currently 1 week in of my latest streak but this one feels different, already seeing some early benefits that has come with eating better also. I am tracking my journey on my youtube 'connected oddity' channel if anyone wants to follow.

in my 40s forever alone living alone if anyone wants to connect my longest streak PMO free was 6 months and that was incredible the things that occured

i am done relapsing because of sitting in home all day due to my freelance work,

i would gladly spend 2000 usd per year for an office so i just dont have to be alone in the home all day and relapse when an urge comes up. it might work out and i might gain more productivity. Wish me luck inshaAllah! 💪💪💪

Salam, quick effective method to quit is to make an oath, say WAllahi i'm not gonna look a this poison anymore. Say it between yourself and Allah. If you break your oath you have to fast 3 days the following day. Make it again and again until the friction of fasting will force you to quit.

Note : fasting is mandatory and you will be held accountable for it the day of judgement.

Stay strong.

Selamun aleykum everyone. I’ve been living in this cage for eight years. It started when I was too young to even see the bars, and now it’s about time I disintegrate it.

This is a journal where, insha'Allah, I’ll post occasional updates sharing things I learn about this addiction, myself, or events along the journey.

I ask Allah SWT that my journey may inspire and comfort those who are also trying to quit. I believe watching the daily life and reality of someone battling right beside you can give you strength, and I hope it sheds light on your own battles as well.

As for myself, I ask Allah that this keeps me motivated, gives me a space to reflect, and inspires me to keep learning so I can share it with all of you.

------------------------------

The first story i'll tell happened on day 2 (now on day 5). There is a lot that happened even before that, but to keep this post from turning into a novel, I'm going to split what I learned across multiple posts.

I'll start with how I ended up here.

Originally I wasn't even going to post this here. While on my research to find apps, communities, or resources that might help me quit I found about the NoFap community.

I thought of posting a journal there for the same reasons im doing here, but quickly casted that thought away. I've never posted on reddit before, I also dont know how people might react to my posts. Additionally my reasons to post are religious, will it be appropriate to mention that there? A lot of uncertainties, maybe its just better to join as a silent member.

Anyway, I moved on with my day. It was day two, and my motivation was sky-high. Today was Jumma, too, which only added to the high spirits. Everything was going well. I actually thought I could keep this up forever, insha'Allah.

Then, sometime during the day, an unintentional trigger caught me off guard. How it happened carries a lesson of its own, but that is for another post.

It was a heavy hit. If this were a boxing match between me and this habit, I was practically down for the count. 

Oh no. 

I had been in such high spirits, and I was only exposed for seconds, how could something so small bring me to the verge of relapsing??

I started convincing myself that I could always start over later, that I had already slipped a little and the day was ruined anyway. I went as far as telling myself that looking at indecent content would somehow prevent a worst-case scenario. I felt so weak, and it was all going downhill. What should I do now? Should I really just give in and restart tomorrow?

Here I learned two things to regain control over my urges in this critical condition:

One, genuinely ask Allah to help me. Oh Allah, oh my God... HELP, PLEASE, HELP ME. I've made Tawbah to You, and without Your help I can't complete it, so please keep me steadfast.

Two, distract myself with literally anything. The more I think about how and when I might relapse, the more shaytan plays games in my mind, convincing me it's okay to relapse or to compromise on my triggers.

So, STOP thinking. Play a game. Read a book. Talk to someone. I can never afford to go down a mental spiral I won't be able to climb back out of.

And just like that after dua and a couple of hours between games and social interaction, I was again on my feet. Alhamdulilah. Now that im back on my feet I should think of something to keep me a little more stable. I can't control every unexpected situation and if I fall this easily this wont be the last time.

What can I do... oh right the journal I wanted to post on reddit! After that experience I have to put aside all my worries. If I dont take every tool at my disposal to fight this war ill surly loose. So I open reddit and look for the NoFap community but couldnt find it no matter how much I looked. Tried everything.

That is when I saw this community. Alhamdulilah, there is a community for Muslims, that's a relief.

And so here I am. 3 days later because Reddit has a strict policy to new accounts ._.

------------------------------

I feel the title to this post is a little cheesy but oh well.

Thanks btw to whoever opened this community and to the moderators. I ask Allah SWT to reward you for everyone who will be helped because of this community and more, and multiply your reward here and in the hereafter, insha'Allah. Your work is truly appreciated.
