    Hi NoFap!

    I'm a 21M and I've been struggling with porn addiction since I was about 13 years old. I don't want to trigger anyone so I won't name the genre that I was into but I didn't even realize until recently how much of a grip it had on my life. The things I would do and say because of my addiction I thought were aspects of myself but when a therapist finally pointed out that I may have an addiction the whole world began to make sense.

    Now I'm a little scared, just started my streak 3 days ago, but I'm hopeful because I want this and I want to be better so badly. I look forward to making connections in this community and overcoming our struggles together!

    Hello AriLeith,

    I'm new to this also as I relapsed previously.

    Currently on Hard mode.

    This I personally tried that help and would recommend as follows:

    - Delete your browser history/favourite porn sites, Instagram etc
    - Find and activity and do it, such as going to Gym, workout, read a book, going for a walk and cold showers
    - Don't sit idle at home for hours browsing random YouTube videos
    - Learn to meditate
    - Remind yourself why you started your NoFap journey.

    I'll post again, if i remember something else that might help you on your journey to greatness!

    Good Luck!

    Cheers
