    Hello to the community.

    I am new to this community, and I am so grateful that I found it. As many others mention, it took me too long to admit my addiction to P. I started around when I was 15yrs when started watching P on my computer, and quickly developed a habit. I do not want to even think of how many hours I have wasted in my life so far watching P. 28 yrs is just too long but it could have been 30. Lets be positive.

    I was surprised (in a good way) and encouraged to see the valuable content in this community which I have yet to go through, and I had to start my journaling immediately to continue my NoFap streak.

    I will try to post my past addictions and experiences here as I try to journal to continue my streak. I am on my second day today. Started on 11/27/2023

    Thanks in advance for the support the community provides.

    Welcome and good luck in your journey. Knowledge is one of the best weapons we have against this. Soak as much in as you can. Every day.

    Hey there! Welcome to the community! This is a fantastic place to begin to recover. There's a lot of hope here and other members to support you.

    I think it's fantastic you're getting the journal going as I find it to not only be therapeutic, but an opportunity to be transparent about recovery. Sometimes I discuss my struggles, while other times I discuss my successes. In addition, journaling is a healthy habit I've established and one that helps hold me accountable.

    I would also recommend connecting with some like minded members through direct message. Having accountability partners adds one additional layer of accountability and transparency...as well as an opportunity to establish lasting, healthy friendships.

    Looking forward to reading more about your journey! Wishing you the best!

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome and encouragement! Yes, I am thinking of discussing my ups and downs, struggles and what worked for me etc. so that I can give back to the community. And yes, I do agree journaling in general is a good mindfulness habit to make.
    I hope to find someone that I can relate to and connect.
