    Hi everyone,

    Usual story here I suppose, 23 year old student, cannot stop looking at porn. Probably first saw online porn when I was 11 or 12, and my parents put up an internet filter which led to me spending hours trying to dodge it! What a waste of time! Then things got really bad when I moved to university an had my own computer, which I have since ruined with viruses. The worst times are before sleeping, lying with nothing to distract from the urges. While my life is generally ok, I am always plagued by a sense of underachievement and I feel that pmo is contributing to this. I've never told anyone about this before!

    I am also 23 in and in university, feeling the same about my underachievements.

    Keep it up and do your best! The NoFap youtube channel is helpful, if you ever feel agitated

    Hey dude , well your here , you realise there's a problem , and you've made a decision to do something about it , I'm 31 and have been looking at porn for only about seven years , your generation had access to it a much younger age which puts you at a disadvantage my young friend so this is why I believe the first " clean " weeks of your journey will be difficult and fraught with obstacles , if you haven't already youtube GARY WILSON , a little smartarse who can explain the cognitive chemistry of what's happening in your brain ( we are basicly dopamine junkies lol) also this website your brain on porn (gary wilsons website ) will also help , it seems understanding this stuff really helps to conquer it , I'm on day 6 of my first attempt , didn't realise I was so hooked on porn till recently P M O has got out of hand and had to stop and take a hard look at myself and here I am , my advise to you if you serious about change is to just stop looking at porn , I know thats obvious bro but I mean none , zero tolerance , no sneaky peeky 5 minute just a look stuff , it's what I used to do and ........ Well you know how the story ends lol , I'm on a 6 day streak and it's tough and I'm irritable but there's a strong sense of achievement inside that's growing over time , this shits worth it bro you'll see , anyway thanks for reading I've read books shorter than this post lol good luck son :)

    Oh wow I'm so cuffed that you guys replied! Don't you worry Buddah, I've checked out those sources, I think I recognised the need to quit back in 2013 when on holiday our villa didn't have WiFi but I found one video I'd forgotten to delete on my phone and couldn't help but watch it! I have made lots of improvements to my lifestyle since, but telling other people about it is the one thing I haven't done yet. I'll be sure to lend supporting words around the forum from now on

    Hey dude , was just gonna say don't worry about telling people atm , there's no shame in it or anything but maybe people might treat you differently or think your being dramatic or something , this condition isint really looked at like being a crack or heroin addict but it's scarily similar , and most people are oblivious to that , for me I'm just tryin to promote what we're doing and tryin to switch people on to the fact constant porn watching to get off screws up the brains chemistry in turn making us behave like ........ Well weirdos lol anyways much love bro :)
