Hello Nofap Community! I am super excited to be here! I signed up as a positive way to start this new year of 2022. I am hopeful that I will get through my issues with porn, masturbation and other related problems with success by being a part of this community. It is a great gift that this even exists! I also hope to make new, healthy and positive online connections here too. I am a 25 year old adult male who has been using porn since my teenage years. That is when it all started. It was a way from me to cope with school and family stress. I suffered a lot as a super sensitive kid and resorting to porn and jerking off a lot was my way of coping with the hardships of life. But what a cost it has had on me and my way of being. It has nearly destroyed me and has messed up my mind big time. But I have hope for recovery and change for the better. I also want to respect females much more and stop objectifying them. My goals is also to to have a better, healthier (and purer) relationship with women. I am planning on starting with a 7 day reboot as an experiment to try this out and see how I feel. I will abstaining from porn and masturbation for a week. Wish me much luck! Lastly, I want to share that I am very musical. I play piano, guitar and sing. I also love to be outdoors hiking and being in touch with the gifts of our natural world. I am also very spiritual and don't belong to any organized religion. Meditation, mindfulness, prayer, breath work, art, music and some other tools are how I try to be a better human being. More authentic. More compassionate and wiser. I look forward to this much needed healing, recovery and rebooting. I look forward to connecting. Peace!
