    Hey everyone! First time user of nofap page, I have went through the subreddit before but never committed to seeking guidance or help before. Thought I could beat the addiction alone. I been using porn on/off since 13, it has gotten worse over time. Had somewhat long period of times where it wasn't an issue or I kept myself busy. It got worse end of HS into college, I would use PM as an escape for stress, depression, or whatever else life threw my way. Recent graduate of college, and it's gotten even worse now that I have more time and more situations/stresses I want to escape from. Recently started a streak beginning of 2019, but broke it second week of February.

    Porn has had a devastating effect on my life. I am also Muslim and I am somewhat religious, trying to do better. I want to go 90 days without PMO and then continue to a full year streak in order to reboot. Ambitious, I know, but I need to get rid of this curse. Alongside this goal is to also deepen my faith and develop healthy lifestyle routine and prayer schedule (Muslims pray 5 times a day, i.e. spiritual reset x5). I would like to look for an AP and set some rules. Excited to take this bugger down!

    If you have any advice or additional resources that would be awesome!

    Hello brother! welcome. You are not the first to make the mistake of thinking that you could overcome this all alone. But you are part of a select few who have reached out for help. Keep coming back!

    That's how it started with most of us. Our heart needed something and the porn promised it. But it overpromises and underdelivers.

    Accepting that you are broke, weak and wicked is the first step towards recovery. I believe it's only when we have a hole in our heart can God/ Allah/ Supreme enter our soul and begin the process of healing. Congrats on discovering your reasons behind compulsive sexual behaviours.

    That's surely great. Having faith in Supreme would surely allow you to be on the path of rebooting.

    That indeed sounds like a good plan. Stick to that. Hope to see you active here. All the best brother :)
