Hi my name is william and im 19 living in Montreal qc. Im a quiet guy but relaxed, I get a long well with many people even though I tend to become nervous. I joined NoFap in order to face my worst enemy which is Pornography Addiction and Masturbation. I started watching and masturbating to porn at the age of 11 and now it have been very hard for me to stop. Iv been going through a lot for the last 3 years. I have been very depressed, angry, hateful, so much anxiety, stress and thinking of committing suicide. Porn has destroyed my life and I need help to escape its shadows. Im 19 years old and im not even in college, Im in an adult education and im struggling with school work and focus. On october 3rd 2013 I stopped watching porn and masturbating for 10 days and so far so good it was great and all of a sudden the lust came back to me and I really need help in order to succeed in the NoFap Clallenge in order to take control of my life once and for all. Can anyone help me or give me more tips?
Welcome William, you are in the right place. You can and will overcome this is you put in the effort and use the tools here. That's the good news. It will be hard, as all of us who have started and caved can attest. IHMO, the key is not to isolate and find an accountabilty partner here and post everyday in a journal. Also dont spend too much time alone in front of computer if possible. Take up a new hobby, exercise and get out into the world. You can do this, if just take effort and reminding yourself clearly WHY you want to be free of this. Without a clear reason, its hard to achieve anything I think. Best of luck and welcome.
Thanks enufisenuf1. I found out that I was feeling the cravings when im at school as well, not just being at home. When that happens I listen to music and try to resist the cravings.
