    Hey guys!

    Currently 5 days into my journey, which is not easy when you go from masturbating and watching porn on a daily basis. My mind is constantly craving and thinking about porn. Just goes to show how addictive I really was.

    My main goal and reason behind this journey, is to try overcome my social anxiety. From research on dopamine and what porn/masturbation can do to your brain has truly shocked me. If you guys didn't already know, low levels of dopamine has been known to affect social anxiety... go figure!

    Anyway, that's all for now :)
