I've been in this fight for 2 years, nothing worked; determined now

Hi, I'm 18 years old and I'm from Bangladesh. I've been trying to abstain from porn and masturbation for the past 2 years. I've been watching porn and masturbating since I was 13 and I realized it was destroying my life when I was 16. Since then I've tried various ways to not watch porn or masturbate but I have never been able to stay clean for more than a month. I still watch porn frequently and masturbate, and feel guilty afterwards. I'm pretty good academically, and I want to excel in it; but my addiction is hampering my daily life. I'm procrastinating because of it, and the guilt is killing me; it's making me depressed and I'm losing confidence.
I'm determined to get rid of porn and masturbation for good. Hope you guys will help me in this journey. Keep me in your prayers!

Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

Here is just some advice:

First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profilesection..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal. Make sure and be grateful for the help you received and help after receiving some. Invest in some people's journeys. We could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!
