    First of all, english is not my primary language, so sorry for the mistakes :)

    This is not my first attempt to stop this bad habit. In fact, this is my second attempt.

    I'm 37 yo, and I have been watching porn since my teenage years.

    My porn consumption has not always been compulsive, but things have gotten worse and worse with the years passing. Especially during the pandemic, where the mind is looking for escape. In those times, it is easy to fall in the porn trap when you are alone during a lockdown.

    I already made the conclusion that porn is at the origin of most of my problems: I have lost my confidence, my mental strength, my motivation, and my social skills.

    I know what I lost, because I know that I was once another man: I built my own company (it failed, but it was a great experience), I was at the head of an association, I helped people, and I had the luck to experience love with a smart and nice woman.

    Now, I'm old, completely alone, single, bitter and getting fat.

    I want to get back to the best version of myself. I know that I have to rewire my brain and my habits in order to become the best version of myself.

    Wish me luck :)

    I can relate to your story, I'm 42 and ruined a couple great relationships because of this addiction and also some great jobs. I think it's not to late to make changes and not mess things up going forward, plus we can help others have hope if we get better. I wish you success.

    Hey man! New here as well. 37yo is not old, I'm 31 myself and feel like there's a lot to life to look forward to.
    As it was said above - it's never to late to start changing.

    I can add, that form my experience you only die when you stop learning, experiencing something new. This looks the new beginning for you, so you are doing allright!

    Good Luck!
