Programmer / Entrepreneur - Struggling with porn for over a decade

Hey guys,

I am 30 years old of Asian descent living in USA for over a decade.

I masturbated for the first time at age 17 and I got hooked since the first time.

I would masturbate maybe 5 times a day maybe even more in the early days.

I tried to abstain and was successful for weeks at a time and one time I was successful for a month.

Any further attempts of abstinence failed.

I accepted that I was weak and I was harsh on myself of being weak.

After some time I stopped being harsh and I accepted that this is who I was and it is okay. I stopped being sorry and apologetic for my actions.

At age 28 I got married and for the first 6 months or so I didn't masturbate.

I was happy and thought my addiction had disappeared. But then from time to time I would have the urges and I would masturbate from time to time.

In about a year I was addicted again and here I am.

I think its enough.

- I have low energy
- Low self-confidence
- I feel I have less stamina to work longer

I just dont feel right.

In my heart I have always known this is wrong. I just have failed so many times that I lost confidence in my ability to win.

BUT AFF IT.

Thanks NoFap.

Listen up people. I am starting today and I will abstain for 90 Days.

I will report daily.


----
Here are some things that trigger me

- When I am alone, I feel I have the opportunity to escape my emotions so I go watch porn and masturbate
- When I am tired and exhausted I want to distract my mind and escape so I PM
- If I see a girl on tv or whatever I get triggered.


Now I need certain techniques to manage when the urges happen.

Will look for that after I post.

Wish me luck and prayers

 

Thanks Tigger
