Hi all I signed up for nofap 5 years ago. At that time I was 25. I haven't been on this website in a few years and even though I have managed to reduce the frequency of porn consumption and masturbation, I have not been able to cease it altogether. I feel so ashamed. Reading my posts from 5 years ago, and realizing that time has flown by so quickly and I still haven't been able to curb my addiction. I still suffer from PIED. The worst part of it is that I also work as a doctor , and treat addictions on a daily basis with my patients. Yet, ironically, while some of my patients have been able to quit cold turkey with much harder addictions (cocaine addiction, heroin addiction, alcohol addiction) I can't seem to quit a simple porn addiction. It definitely makes me feel like a failure. I will be posting here again frequently to hopefully give myself some motivation to quit this addiction altogether as it is having a very debilitating effect on my relationships. Wish me luck.
If heroin were available 24/7, for free, in people's homes, nobody would quit. That's what makes this addiction so difficult.
