    Hey guys (and girls) I am Kevin, first time poster in here.
    You actually helped me out already, to be honest. A few months ago I was in a kind of relationship and I had some issues , like getting and holding an erection And I was just so dissappointed and depressed, because I had the feeling that I was not good enough for her or couldn't satisfy her, you know? That's when I thought that something might be wrong with me. Before said relationship I was masturbating a lot and I even paid (actually a lot) of money for porn sites. After that I did some research and found your site, where I read about porn addiction. That's when I decided to try it.
    So far so good. I did pretty well, if I may say so. To be honest I did not stop masturbating at all, but I had myself under control, kind of a "just masturbate once on the weekend"-rule. And I felt really good! I think the start of the new semester at university did it job as well, distracting me and so on (I had the biggest problems in the "dead time" between finals and the new semester, because I just had nothing to do, you know?)
    But I had a major setback yesterday...and I just can't figure out how that happenend. It was like watching a train wreck, while knowing you can prevent that but you didn't. I actually had a nice day, even had a date with a lovely women which I will see again.
    In the evening I then started watching a movie and drinking a beer. For some unknown reason I felt the urge to drink (back when I had the most issues, most of the time masturbation and drinking went hand in hand). So I got drunk yesterday and started watching porn again...and it somehow just got out of control again. But hey! Now I am the (not so-)proud holder of a 2year membership of a pornsite. And now, the day after, I just feel like shit, like my own body is disgusted of me. The damage is done, the money gone. The money may not be the real issue here, but I am really afraid that everything I went through is repeating again and I don't want that. Not that I got to know the women I mentioned before. I don't want to dissappoint her like I had the feeling in my previous relationship.
    I just wanted to get that off my chest.
    Thank you for reading this!
    Cheers, Kevin
    Ps: If that is the wrong forum for that I apologize, but I could'nt figure out in which this would belong otherwise.
     
  2. Hey Kevin! After reading your thoughts I think that maybe the date was the trigger. Did you feel aroused near her? Maybe it was under the surface until you started to drink when we all know people start to act more careless and careful so my advice would be if you drink when you are alone try to stop before you get drunk. If you feel the urge just do some pushups or take a cold shower or go somwhere outside with your friends or for a run. Try to distract your mind. Always try to remember the awful feelings that you have after you PMed. Meditation might help as well because you can clear your mind and control your heart rate. Wish you good luck and if anything comes to your mind don't hesitate, we're here :)

    thank you for your kind words and your advice! Yes, I was actually thinking the same, that the date somehow triggered something...I will try to distract me from now on when I get the urge (got even the Emergency Button on my bookmark bar :))

  4. Hi Kevin,
    Glad you speak up openly.
    I feel sorry for you that you have done things you now regret.
    You can't turn back time, so..... confessing the things is all you can do. Learn from your faults.
    Alcohol had made me do watch porn in the past as well. We have to be very careful all the time actually.

    I Hope you can get rid of that membership.
    Spend your time here on nofap. It's giving you the right mood. Constantly reading what is the result of porn, is helping me to stay away from that crap. And of course, helping and encouraging others to live a life without that killer, called porn.

    Had a few hard days recently...got again to a point where I had the feeling that my body is disgusted at myself...But I thought that I will become a better human again and this morning was actually really fine. I was happy and all, looked at the bright sides of life and just enjoyed the good weather here. But then I got some msg's from a "friend" and...well...I just relapsed.
    I hope I will get again to the point where I can get two to three weeks without relapsing
