    Hi friends,

    Its something that started at a very innocent age of 10-11. It took a very strong hold of my mind at a tender age. Un-consciously but steadily I developed the habit of M and eventually soft-porn non-penetrating. It went on to become an addiction more powerful than drugs.

    As I became a bit conscious I started opposing it with all my might. My mind could never approve it. A fierce battle started between two opposing forces, so intense that it would generate a lot of heat in my mind and made me felt restless. Obsessive thinking followed. I thought and thought without stopping on ways to counter it. I made plans and saw them falling apart one after another. As years progressed the intensity of M went up and up. It eroded my confidence, concentration, self-esteem, positivity and dealt a lethal blow on decision making and analytical thinking. I do simple maths (addition) and check it again and again. Miserable!

    It enslaved me..chained me..decimated me..destroyed me..Made me hollow. I feel torn apart, restless, unable to come to truce..it ravaged me again and again and again..feels like sexual exploitation!

    Inferiority complex, completely choked and suffocated within. My body doesn't support but my mind is forcing this on me. Always feel mentally tired, at the lowest level of my energy. It's been a phase of severe stress, depression and of late I found that it wasn't just depression it was bi-polar disorder.

    Now I feel I'm at the right place with the community standing for me..I feel more secure & comfortable in the company of like minded people. I feel loved here..

    Wish you 'strength and peace' in your fight against none but yourself!!

    Day1 starts..

    Welcome to Your New Beginning.

    This is YOUR recovery and you must own it. You may be familiar with other addiction recovery programs. The first 90 days of these programs require meeting everyday for the first 90 days of recovery. I suggest visiting and contributing to NoFap each of your first 90 days. Glean wisdom from the strong, encourage the new, and be wary of those who are negative and make excuses. Add the words of your struggle to those of others and help create this wonderful narrative of transformation. I have made my NoFap time a replacement for all web surfing and social media. Be wary of depending on technology like counters and web filters. Understand that the battle is between your ears more so than between your legs. Each time you are tempted to go to that foul place, you must remember the man you are working to become, and then choose to be in control. Do not allow porn to steal another second of your life.

    Invictus
    William Ernest Henley, 1849 - 1903
    Out of the night that covers me,
    Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
    I thank whatever gods may be
    For my unconquerable soul.

    In the fell clutch of circumstance
    I have not winced nor cried aloud.
    Under the bludgeonings of chance
    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    Beyond this place of wrath and tears
    Looms but the Horror of the shade,
    And yet the menace of the years
    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

    It matters not how strait the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul

    Be Strong my Friend.
