Day 59 - Help!

Hi guys, just joined NoFap. I've been trying to break this addiction for 22 years now - longest streak was 6 months and then... I've been an avid reader of advice and experiences posted by other members of this community and decided it was time to stop trying to do this alone. In my country there are no support groups and there aren't many therapists that specialise in porn addiction.

As stated in the title, I've managed to white-knuckle it to today (day 59), but I feel like I'm minutes away from falling down that deep, dark hole and who knows how long I'll be scratching the walls for a grip to start climbing out yet again. I'm as sincere as I possibly can be when saying this, I REALLY want to stop this cycle of self-abuse and pain. My depression started at about the same time as frequent porn use. Go figure.

The whole erectile dysfunction thing is also a problem, not getting pleasure from anything or any part of my life just sucks! Any advice or help or just someone saying, "Hang in there, you'll make it this time" will be appreciated. Thanks for listening...

 

Thanks so much for responding Wants_tochange. Today was really tough, but I got through. Writing my post above and, as you suggested, exploring the forums kept my attention occupied enough to resist the urge.

I am grateful to not have to fight this alone anymore - just knowing there's a community of men and women that are facing the same struggles really helps me cope.

Thanks again, your message really means a lot to me.
