Good Evening Everyone

It's Taken Forever To Find A Refuge, Wandering In A Desert Of Despair..
Now I've Happened Upon The Oasis At Last, Of Those Who Understand.
I'm Home.

Poetic introductions aside, my name is Steve and I've struggled with a twofold addiction for the longest time: That of porn and excessive masturbation. Recognizing the unhealthiness of both, having dealt with the damage and consequences, I'm finally at a place of quiet yet determined acceptance of the fact that I have these problems and want to overcome them. I'm hoping to be an active member of this flourishing community...helping as I'm being helped, guiding as I'm being guided, contributing and doing my utmost.

I'm 29 years old and have faced these issues since I was an adolescent. In future posts I'll discuss the struggles in greater detail. Needless to say I'm very grateful to have joined NoFap. I'll be getting started on a challenge shortly and it's a pleasure beyond measure to meet you guys!

 

Sir,

I thank you for your warm welcome. Your words are indicative of a wisdom and experience I'd do well to draw forth from like a well for the one who thirsts. Your eloquence decorates the obvious admirably.

In the past I've faced PMO with a multiplicity of unsuccessful strategies. My current campaign is focused on employing better self-control, availing myself of knowledge, and surrounding myself with support. The fact that my PMO habit has also cost me some dear friendships and led to the worst loss of hope since the death of my mother, my motivation now is as clear as it is strong...I will defeat this obsessive beast within me...and scrub out the filth so that the inner sanctum sparkles anew.
