Ive been an addict since i was 13

Hi my name is Drew I am 21 years old and I have known for a long time that I am addicted to PMO and I believe it has affected my life negatively in the worst ways. Ive tried to quit numerous times before but usually I can only last about four days without porn and not more than two days without masterbation. I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. I have low energy and motivation a lot of the time in part because of this. Ive only had one girlfriend my entire life and we were together for two and a half years before she left me for someone else in january. My PMO was definititely a big issue and part of the reason she left me. I now hardly have any friends and my social anxiety is just too much some days. Talking to girls my age is nearly impossible for me, especially if I am attracted to them. Sorry if this is kind of a downer intro but this is how i percieve things and I really feel deeply that a major root to my problems is PMO addiction. I really hope the success stories are true because I need to conquor this to move on in life.

 

Thanks for the supportive words I only managed three days without pmo until i had to do it to fall asleep after hours of trying to sleep with work the next morning. My next goal i guess is to double that and hit 6 days or more. I also just managed to conjure up the courage to tell my therapist that i have a porn habit, something I havent told anyone else in person. Im not sure where to post my progress so im just kind of posting it here.
