Hello, my name is Noah. I am 22 years old and a university senior biology student looking to go into physical therapy. Since highschool I have become increasingly addicted to pornography and masturbation. As I entered college I began to show increased signs of depression and anxiety that began to disrupt my daily function. I have had several wonderful relationships that ended because my interest in my significant other waned for what seemed like no particular reason. After watching the TED talk about the psychological and physiological effects of pornography (), I realized that my problems could likely be due to my addiction to pornography. I am here joining NoFap in order to recover from this addiction and hopefully improve my mental and emotional well-being. I want to see women for their character and not their sexual value. I want to value love and loyalty over novelty. I want to feel joy from daily interactions and happenings again. I need help. I need the support of this community to help me recover before I ruin more relationships and sink deeper into depression. So let's do this. Noah
Here are some great, practical suggestions Noah: http://www.nofap.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-to-nofap-website.29187/#post-178181
Way to go dude. Its great that you shared what you want and the reasons that you are abstaining from porn. If you can expand on your reasons every day, just for like 5 minutes, then you will be preparing for the increased difficulty ahead of the actual difficulty. And this website is an amazing crutch for the journey. Welcome.
I also need a few people to share tips with each other and advice so we can all defeat this stupid little habit
