Allow Me to Introduce Myself

Hey all,

I wanted to say a quick hello to all of you, and give a brief overview of what's been going on lately that's taken me to these measures. I've finally come to the realization that porn is taking control to the point where I'm on sites multiple times a day, and also to the point where I'm spending my hard earned money unnecessarily to get the thrill of watching a cam girl undress and pleasure herself for me.

It didn't seem like an issue at first. It was just a few sessions here and there, no big deal. But it's turned into something addictive, and I've even tried to block the website from my computer, only to unblock it a few days later. Porn has distracted me from completing volunteer work, sending e-mails, and basically doing anything on the computer. I always get sidetracked and open up a tab, it's too easily accessible.

I've masturbated to the point of being sore, two and even three times a day is a common occurrence. I'm not sure how this all started, but I lost my job and my girlfriend over six months ago and this action has picked up more and more since then. And even when I was with someone, there were nights where I just wasn't into it or would go for what seemed like forever without achieving any pleasure. It can't just be because of working out.

NoFap appeared to me, so I'm taking the leap with hopes that I can get some kind of guidance. At first, I was embarrassed to talk about this. But I can't keep this up, I keep feeling sorry for myself and apologizing to myself for being so careless and almost out of control. I know this is a lot to take in for a first message, but I wanted to put all my cards on the table.

Thank you for your time,
Rocketpack
