    Hi, just a quick introduction to me.

    I'm 35 almost 36 and I've been addicted to porn since I was 12. I confessed all to my wife last July when my relationship was at breaking point.

    Thankfully she stood by me and I'm getting help through work with a counselor.

    I stopped in July and lasted until octobwr but due to stress and anxiety relapsed pretty bad again culminating in my relationship almost breaking.

    I'm now 32 days into a streak but struggling so I'm trying this community for support.

    New to nofap here so I haven't much experience about long streaks but learning as much as I can about it and all I can say is well done on getting to 32 days dude.. consider that a starting achievement and remember why you're doing it because it's the difference between enhancing you're life or destroying it. I know that sounds dramatic but I'm starting to believe that this fapping business hold so much of us back from our true potential. Have you read the book "you're brain on porn" I honestly keep going back to it because at first I'm astounded how fapping was being treated like an addiction but the more I read it starts to make sense when you apply it to you're own life in times of stress and anxiety, we turn to our vices which can be alcohol or fapping.

    I hope you and your wife are doing ok and it's good to have that support network stand by you, I think it's also great to have this community so we can speak to people who somewhat get it or going through he same thing.

    What do you think you're reasons are for struggling right now? Are you stressed or anxious?

    A lot of determination and reminding myself why I'm saying away from it!! It's the ruining of a lot of things so just need to prioritize!

    Hi thanks for your reply brother, I had been really stressed and anxious the past few weeks but this week it's subsided.

    And yes I'm currently reading the book Porn on the brain, it's mind blowing to think the impact it has but also really warming to know there's such a large number of sufferers.

    Hoping the support and knowledge from this community will help me through.
