    Hey Ya'll,
    Got addicted at the unfortunately average age of about 10. I have tried quitting off and on almost as long. I have made it as long as a couple months, but mostly I just get stuck in cycles of one week off months on. I get stuck in these cycles of 'Well I feel like shit, might as well pmo' and then 'Well pmo makes me feel worse so it is validating that I should feel like shit'. I just relapsed last night after almost two weeks. The urges get intense and then I freak out, trying to figure out how to cope like a non-addict.

    I started out shy, and pmo has given me the pleasure of social anxiety. The awkward teen years were really rough(Now I am in my awkward twenties.). I haven't been around these parts to long, but so far I like it. I thinking I might like the structural qualities of a forum compared to the free-for-all of a sub-reddit.

    Hopefully, you Lads and Ladies have my back, and I will try to have yours.

    To sum up, Hi my name is Burned and I am an addict.

    Hi Burned

    While I sympathise with your struggles, don't you think that your username may remind you of your relapses?

    I would personally find it very self-defeating =)

    Just take that into consideration. But, I wish you strength anyway!

    Thanks for the reply Mar. To me it is just reminder that pmo doesn't bring me joy, and that the reason I'm here is because I have crashed too many times.
