60 days Nofap!!!!! My journey

Today marked 60 day of nofap, something I thought I could never achieve considering how addicted I was to porn. I am 19 years of age and I have been addicted to porn for 9 years. It was only in October last year that I found out about nofap because I wasn’t able to perform with a woman I met which was very embarrassing, so I sought out help online to find information on why this happened to me. Till this day I am forever grateful that I did that because it informed me of the harm and damage of porn and revealed the monster which was Porn that my brain hid from me. It all made sense the reasons why I struggled learning in school due to severe brain fog that affected my concentration and focus. I also had to endure social anxiety which was so bad that during lunchtimes in school I was so scared to talk to other people and be seen by other students I would hide in the toilets and eat my lunch there, I know its pathetic but true. I suffered small depression from time to time which would make me unhappy with myself. My motivation was fucked up. I had no aspirations to do anything or become anything in life and porn made it difficult for me to make good decisions in life which led me into getting in a lot of trouble. This is because Porn fucks up the frontal lobe in your brain which controls decisions making and reasoning. It all made sense to why all this occurred, and so I decided to go and do NoFap starting from October last year. From October to December I must of relapsed over 20 times. I thought to my self that I will never be able to leave Porn to become a better person, a better me. I became really down at one point I gave up. But after seeing many testimonies and videos I knew I was strong enough to do it. I went on a 30 day streak which was my longest through the month of January but complacency and satisfaction of getting to 30 led to another relapse. Nonetheless, after addressing the mistakes and lessons I learnt from the last streak I managed to stay on a 60 day streak through the months of February and March and I am still going strong.
Doing this has increased my confidence and made me more confident in myself and talking to others. It also slowly increasing my motivation levels which is allowing me to strive for goals I never thought of doing or being able to achieve.

To anyone who was like me last year who is struggling to quit porn or can’t find a way out, I’m here to tell you can. All it takes is you believing in your self and truly wanting to become a better you because I and many on here will tell you that Porn is not your friend and will only cloud you with misery and sadness, and I am happy to say I am slowly moving out of that cloud.
