It’s time to sort my life out

Hi Guys,

My names Andy, i’m 26 and I 100% have a problem.

I’ve been masturbating alongside porn pretty much daily for a long time (at least 3 years) I’d never really considered it a huge issue until I got involved with cam girls, i’ve Wasted a lot of money for let’s face it little gain. I’ve got to a stage where I think about it all the time, and I’ve become a zombie throughout most of the day, I haven’t been taking much joy out of my real life.

Realizing this is a long term problem for me has made me assess other aspects of my life, it’s been years since i’ve had anything close to a relationship and no prospects on the horizon. I’ve suffered on and off with depression and anxiety for years, and although I am friends with many girls (all of which made in my younger less addicted days) I really struggle with confidence talking to new women. I wonder if I may have found one of the causes...

At this stage I don’t want a relationship because I realize i’m not in a healthy place myself, my aim is to reboot (i’m starting ambitious and going for hard mode for 90 days) and rejoin the dating world.

I’ve tried and failed before on my own but I am hopeful finding this community can help me.

Thanks guys

 

Thanks, nice to meet you!

My first step has been to lock my laptop away at work, just take away the temptation completely, being on my laptop in my room alone is a big trigger for me in a way my phone isn’t

I also went to the gym today for the first time in a while. Gonna try and fill my time positively.

Any tips from your journey?

 

Thanks!
Right back at you man!
