Hey Guys, that’s my first post on REDDIT so that’s kind of wird for me to talk about my experience on the website. Concerning, me , I’m 22 years old,French student studying financial market. I started watch P**** when I was 10 and it has literally changed me, especially the way to interact with people. Sometimes, I had watched porn and masturbated 5 times a days, sometimes I abstained for 1 week because of my tennis competition. It has started to sucks when I met very big problems to socialize and focus in school, like mostly every porn consumer, when I was going somewhere, I had the impression that every eyes were on me (so stupid). In school, I had to worked twice more than the others because of my concentration and memory problems, when I was discussing abut this problem to my doctor and my parents, they told me that this shit was caused by hormones. As a teenager, I had no idea about the negative of porn so I continued 11 more years! At 21 years old, I decided to definitely stop watching porn and that’s what I did . In my memory, I stopped in august 2018, but few month later I had noticed any change. That was not a problem for me to give up this addiction! But after fed month I realized that I always had the same problems to concentrate and socialize especially when I had orgasmed with my girlfriends. After some interessant research, I finally understood that I had problem with my brain, in the reward system, my brain was producing to much dopamine during sex because of these long years of overstimulation. So In February 2019, I decided to cut orgasm for 1 month in order to recalibrate the brain chemicals . That was so good during the first 20 days, i was so euphoric with very high libido, my ability to concentrate and socialize came back so I thought that I was healed for good, I was totally wrong. In march, I started to orgasm again and have experienced my first flatlines and I can tell you guy, that was the worst thing I ever experienced. My flatline has lasted about 2 month and that was insane, I had some suicide tought, big lack of confidence, huge memory loss, I tought that I was the biggest shit on earth . I had no sex drive, not even look at the very beautiful girls in my school, sound like a nightmare right ? I have a good new, if you experience these symptoms that means that you’re healing your brain ! And yes, today its June 19th 2019 and I thing that I’m probably healed, these are the enhancing I can feel : - Better memory - Much more confident , now I can talk to everybody without being anxious - Harder erections with females - More motivated in life, I started to invest on the stock market I like it - Need less sleep - More happy - Don’t give a shit of being late at work, fail an exam etc. Come on guys, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, keep going do not give up. You don’t need this shit in your life, I you succeed to be addicted you can also reverse and delete the addiction, this is the neuroplasticity (Hey Gabe Deem, Gary Wilson etc.). However, you won't get superpower, you're just going to be the same before starting this bad habits, nofap is not the answer for everything ! I’m happy th have shared my experience with this community, without you, I would never find a solution to my problem and my life would not be the same .. Thnak you again I try to stay active on the post to answer to your question La bise A French Guy
I'm glad you've been clean since February, but this doesn't seem very smart to me. Those two things are important. I wouldn't allow myself to be completely stressed out on these things, but casually missing work and getting bad grades seems extremely detrimental to the potential opportunities you could get in the future had you given these more of a priority.
