Räv3n, a new members struggles

I as many others have watched the Ted Talks show about the risks associated with watching and masturbating to porn.
I just thought to myself: -Well how hard can it be to stop masturbating to porn? Ill give it a shot...
And man, have i felt weak and disgusted with myself. I tried so many times with different strategies to stop but ended up fapping.
Im a student and this went on and of for several months. Before summer break I've managed to absent from fapping for a maximum of 9 days.
I got a job over the summer and thought it would keep me occupied and it would get easier, so my goal for the summer was 1 mounth without masturbation and to practice yoga everyday. The yoga part was surprisingly easy. It calmed my mind and i could feel more present in my body (my whole body not just the tip of my penis).
At work there where 6 women my age, 6 older ones and 5 guys me included. Everyone works in shifts so you work with all of them in different shifts.
During the summer i made friends with some of them and seen 4 of the girls my age in a bikini. Things like that would normally not affect me as much but then coming home at evening without masturbating was unbearable. Even being with them at work would make it harder not to fap in the evening.
I needed more willpower. So I came up with a strategy that i could watch porn but not masturbate and stop to look down on myself when i fell for temptation but instead look at the days I made it without fapping. I did this a couple of weeks and watching porn without masturbating became easier.
I found very much joy at work and got complimented and appreciated for it. As work became more rewarding the nofap part also became easier. So i stopped watching porn at evening and started painting. It would keep my mind and my hand working and unable to think of sex.
And so here i am, back in school and 27 days without masturbation and porn. Only 3 days left to the magic 30!
I feel like this challenge has given me so much this far. More self esteem and a healthier view on relationships. I put more effort and joy into my schoolwork. Yoga is now a part of my day with 97h spent. I still paint or draw when i feel like it. I made friends at work and new friends at school. I still get down and depressed sometimes but i am more in touch with my emotions and are now able to cry without supressing them and then to let go. And the urge to fap rise at times still but now I can take contol.
I have no plans to stop at 30 days, but to continue to improve, to find more love and joy in relationships, and a mind at peace.
