New Fapstronaut James

Hey! James here.
I've struggled with chronic masturbation since I was a pre-teen and started "exploring my body". I hoped that as I grew older, the compulsions to jerk-off would fade to "normal" levels, but that hasn't been the case. If I'm honest with myself my fapping addiction has gotten worse. I've had brief periods where I feel better about myself and can resist the urges to stroke, but more often than not I sink into low points of intense and prolonged edging sessions.

I'm nervous to start this journey, but need to try.
