    Adherence to the Damma. Learning to live in peace and be at peace. Overcoming the mind with mind. Beyond anything religious is the simple matter of the shame I felt and all the wasted time. I don't want to waste anymore time on lurking in the shadows, shying away from social situations and coping with stressors via PMOing. The more I follow the path and hang out in these forums, the more I'm able to see how selfish I was being. I was totally self absorbed and spent most of my time thinking only about myself. It's time to put that kind of behavior away and forge a new life as a new man.

    Damn, damn damn damn.

    I actually got horny today for the first time in a while, simply by seeing a hot girl in clothes, making sexually suggestive faces!!

    This is what I wanted all along!

    I don't (yet) have any big goals. I just live in the moment. I feel right now better than I felt ever when I used to PMO regularly. And I am sure I will feel even better in the future.

    Because it's become obvious to me that my pmo addiction is what is holding me back in life and that I need to break free from it, instead of depend on it and use it as a crutch when I'm feeling down. Nothing positive has come out of this habit, and I have nothing to show for it, other than wasted years. Enough is enough, it's time to start living!

    Same here. For me it just became a soul sucking, energy draining dragon and I had finally had enough of it. I woke up at one morning at 4 a.m because I couldn't sleep, decided to watch a little porn to put me at ease, next thing I know it was 1 p.m.. I was alone, hated myself and felt truly pathetic. I knew at that moment it was now or never.

  9. Successes that I achieved during "giving it a try". Only one gave me belief, that this would help me.
    And I was right. It helped me.

    I want to change because I realize after so long that while I am alone in this world .. spending money and thinking i am getting " love" in return isn't the way for me to live anymore. I might end up alone forever I know this but what I do everyday the constant fapping the addiction to the cam models or videos doesn't bring me happiness anymore. It's destroying my trust in myself and in women as all i see them is as objects which I can control with a button press.

    I just want to be like normal people .. not controlled anymore by my urges. It has taken so much from me and given nothing in return. I might be alone for ever but I would rather pass as a man who found self respect and respect for women and over came a serious addiction than as a pervert who spent everything chasing love and the ultimate dream which was never their in the first place.

    My problem is I am too focused on finding a queen in whorehouses when I should be looking in the castles and palaces like everyone else.

    That's what pretty much defines a normal person in my opinion. They are slaves to their urges. How many sex addicts, drug addicts and food addicts are out there,you think? I'd say definetely over 50% of the population. If you have control over your urges you are part of a few % of people out there. That's everything but normal depending on how you define normal.

    For me it was that instead of working, I would be fapping. Looking my bank account getting smaller from webcam sites and subscriptions. Than when i try to hook up with girls, i couldn't stay hard or orgasm, hj, bj and/or intercourse.
