    hello I'm new to the forum I have never posted anything I just relapsed after I think 3 days lol the longest I have ever gone was about two weeks. I have a lot of goals in life but feel so depressed and caught up in self defeating behaviors that I don't feel like doing anything to change it. thinking about changing it and visualizing what I want my life to be like is one thing but actually taking action proves to be too much to ask.. I want to go 90 days at least in order to complete the reboot eventually 6 months even. here is a little history on my porn use I start probably when I was about 7 I know It was long before I was age 10 later on when I turned 13 I could not go one day without watching it I had to watch it everyday sometimes I couldn't even wait until everyone was gone out of the house so I would go to my room and jack off to porn.. now I watch porn probably 5 or even 6 times a day... I have had lots of side effects watching porn luckily I have not had in ED symptoms or HOCD syptoms.. I believe it has to do with the history of sexual abuse in my family which is probably why I started watching porn at such a young age I really do want to stop and do want to take action but sometimes I just get depressed and think why the fuck do I bother why not just end it all... I believe iv'e pretty much hit rock bottom so.. also I don't want a relationship because of my childhood and so porn was the only sexual release but now that's no longer an option in life... anyway I have rambled on enough if you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to post some
