welp i guess i should introduce myself to the community since i actually want to be serious about this. i'm a 25 year old man who has probably fapped almost everyday of my life since the age 12 (multiple times a day). i got introduced to p via brothers hidden VHS stash and well..... it was certainly of to the races after that. (when the internet and WiFi cellphones came into the picture that most certainly didn't help either). The first\only time i had sex i could not get a boner if my life had depended on it. I was so embarrassed i never even tried talking to that women again so naturally i went back to fapping. i have literally passed on a few potential relationships with potentially really good women because i knew i could always rely on the fapping and even convinced myself i would be better off with p then having a relationship. hell i even fapped last night literally before i created this account because "o ya know just one last time". even at this moment typing this right now in the back of my head i'm thinking about going to P hub because I've already lost the confidence in myself to follow through with this. But, i want to actually put effort into my attempt to quit and i know i can quit because if i didn't i surely wouldn't post this right now. so please, wish me luck in this attempt to turn my life around and wish as much to any one else just starting and doing the same. I'm going to play some overwatch get my mind off the p since i'm talking about it i'm thinking about it. ill probably hop back on tonight check out the forums some more.
I did the same before I made an account here. I am in same age group as you. My head is always thinking of going back to Phb!...we have so much in common, things which I'm not proud of. lol. I'm glad that you've decided to be part of this community and not just be a lurker. You need to understand that you have a severe P addiction and it's not going to be an easy road. I thought It would be easy when I first came here because I was lazy and was distracted easily that I did not even care to understand what this is all about. I was a long time lurker (2-3 years) on NoFap's subreddit and yet I didn't learn shit. Please have a look at the basic guides on Porn addiction & Rebooting, it won't take you long and you'll learn a lot. I'm sure you already know some of it but I'd still advise you to go for it. It really helps to open up to peers having same mindsets. Consider writing a journal on your journey, not only you'll be motivating yourself but you'll end up adding meaningful content to this forum and helping so many people yet to join this club. And don't forget to read up on Success stories. One good thing having such severe P addiction is the distracted personality it leaves us with, I'm sure out of boredom, you'll be jumping around this forum a lot and on the way learning from others mistakes. This one might help you in coping with addiction! and Check out In Case You Didn't Know for additional strategies and tips which may help you along your journey. It's from notable members here. Their advice is GOLD. I see you've already set the day counter badge, I hope you make it to first 7 days or more in the first attempt. All the best pal.
thanks man i might consider the journal, that would actually be really good for me since I've always been missing some kind of outlet.
