17 y/o Male Whatsup everyone, Im really glad to have stumbled across this website and im looking forward to achieving my goals and helping others achieve theirs. Anyways the guide said to share my story, so here it goes. I have not only been struggling with porn addiction but many other forms of addictions throughout my life, and I have started at a very young age. I started smoking cigarettes at 13 and became a heavy smoker at 15 and have continue to use cigs and vapes with high levels of nicotine until I was 16 and a half, then I quit thanks to Alan Carrs Easy way to stop smoking. I also abused weed, videogames, alcohol and synthetic marijuana so yeah my childhood was not very fun and I came out of it scarred both psychologically and physically. However times are a little bit better now, and I managed to overcome these addictions but I am still struggling with one final one that has been with me every since I was 11, and you all know what it is. It's different now because when letting go of all the other addictions I had some hope inside of me that knew I was going to quit one day, but that just isn't there now. Which is what im hoping that this awesome community has to offer. So yeah that's me, im really looking forward to talking to you guys and slaying this addiction once and for all.
