    Hello everyone,

    This is my first post, I’m new to the community. I discovered NoFap after seeing This is Life with Lisa Ling. Porn had practically ruined my marriage. My wife and I were practically in a sex-less marriage and I could only perform with the help of numerous drinks with little to no desire to be with her without it. I decided after doing a lot of research on my own about the side effects of watching Porn and realized I had become an addict unbeknownst to me. The shame that followed watching Porn and my inability to function normally sent my spiraling into depression. I thought pills was a possible solution until I came to accept that my issue was psychological and not physical. It was at this time I embarked on my journey to quit Porn permanently. After seeing that so many suffered from this same affliction, businessmen, celebrities I realized I wasn’t alone and what I thought was this deep dark closeted secret was anything but. I’m glad to say that I am only 38 days free from Porn and it has made a world of difference in my life. I’m actually happy and free of guilty and shame. My drive has returned after only a month and my wife and I are together now a couple of times a week which before honestly was half of our sex year! My normal sensitivity to touch, scent and attraction has returned. I feel normal again. I mean no disrespect to anyone else by the normal comment but only to imply that I feel what was normal to me pre-porn. Anyway, glad I have a forum to speak my peace and I will continue to live Porn free going forward. I will never give up this feeling for synthetic sensation again. Glad to a Fapstronaut and thanks
