I am 18 years old and i started looking at porn when i was 14 years old. I became addicted to Porn and masturbation. All started when someone asked me that do i masturbate or not , i answered by no while i didn't know what does that mean.Then he asked another kid if he do it or not. He said what does that mean. He explained to him what is masturbation and i was listening to them. From that day i started masturbating and watch porn. I did it for 5 years. Every time do it then i says to my self that i will stop but i couldn't. before 4 months i talked to my best friends to go out to watch movie and when the time come to go to the theatre, i watched porn and masturbate and i was late and my friend got angry and i started lying to him. In that day i felt really bad. I decided to stop watching porn and i watched a really helpful videos about quitting porn and understanding the addiction and how to be able to break it.I read many articles about this.I did what is required and the steps to break the addictions cycle. I told my best fried( the one that lie to him)about my addiction and that very tough thing to do. I stayed away from porn and masturbation about 3 months, but in last weeks i became weaker against the triggers and i started looking at exciting things that increases my desire to masturbate and watch porn. I was looking at exciting things and waste my time searching for useless stuff.Then i look at porn pictures that led me to watch porn again. That was my first relapse after starting my NoFap journey .I watch a video that tells what to do after relapse and says that it happens and i have to continue my work . This time i was not really serious to quit and stay away from porn. I relapse again after my first relapse and i felt bad i knew that i am doing something wrong that will harm me and my health. Unfortunately i watched porn again and masturbate. But this time i felt bad and start to do something and i am serious this time. I singed for the daily newsletter for quitting porn and it contains very useful stuff. And i join this amazing website and start my journey to quit porn and Masturbation. And that is my story. Wish me Luck!!. Thank you for reading.
