Hi, everyone. I'm a new member here. I've been struggling with porn and masturbation for a long time now. The first time I was exposed to pornography was when I was in 6th grade. However, it started to become a real issue once I entered 9th grade. I started to masturbate a lot while viewing porn. I began to develop social anxiety and my overall energy declined. I somehow managed to keep my academic performance from suffering and made it to college, but the issue just got worse. My addiction was getting the best of me and I found it really hard to study. Of course my college life became a struggle and it ended with me getting a dismiss. I tried to give porn up, but I failed every time. This made me feel worthless and defeated. it was hard on me, especially since I kept to myself all this long. I've been very shy since my childhood, so I never was one to speak about his struggles and pains. However, I decided to make a difference this time. So, instead of struggling alone, I decided to join a community. That's how I ended up here. Sorry for my lengthy introduction. There's so much for me to talk about when it comes to this struggle. I hope this journey ends up with me finally breaking free from my addiction.

Welcome to the Nofap community. The NO PMO journey is not easy but worth the effort. The community will support you. But the real effort YOU have to make. Focus on what you really want: true happiness. And truly happy you can only be without any addiction.
Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us! Here is just some advice: First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+) Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support. People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal, we could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well! Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.
