    hi guys,
    I found the concept of NoFap recently. Today is my first day. I am starting to quit PMO from today 12:05 hours (GMT). I am going to write a brief history of what I am going through and how i got trapped into this shit.

    I was born in INDIA in a small town. My family was a conservative family. The place where I used to live had a bad and criminal surrounding. I was not allowed to go out of my home for the first fifteen years of my life. I don't blame any anybody as It was done for my safety and better life. I had to go to a school nearby, so that someone can always drop and pick me up. The school was very small and didn't had any recreational activities. It made me a lonely, reserve kind of person with only a few people to speak with. It continued till i passed my senior high school. My family was aware of it and at the age of 12, when i started arguing that why don't they allow me to go out? They found a way to please me up and gave me a computer at home. And after few months, it was the time I saw porn my personal computer. Other people were not so literate on computer in my house, so it was more easy for me to watch and manipulate. It continued for 5 years when i went to college. I never realized that I was getting addicted to it. I never confessed and continued.I went to college and got some good friends but still i was reserve person and hesitated to talk to girls as i used to objectify them and slowly i ended up again lonely and trapped into PMO. It was my fourth year in college, when i truly liked a girl but finally i ended up in rejection. This led me more addicted to porn for few days. But, eventually i never harmed my studies so much as I screwed my social life. I owe to my friends who always pulled me up for studies. As i was an above average student, I ended up a getting a government job. A government job is somehow has created such a social taboo in my country that it's very difficult to leave that job. Although i was not liking the job, i was not able to leave it because of social pressure. I was forced to work there. I was depressed and this was the time when porn took over me completely because it used to make me relax whenever i was too anxious or depressed. slowly, i was fully trapped and it dominated me so much that I started looking for escorts. I ended up in having sex but inside me it was constantly alarming that whatever i was doing is not right. I felt study is the only way to get over it. I decided to study further , so that i can get engaged in studies and i will forget everything about PMO. I applied to foreign universities and finally ended up in EUROPE. When i came to europe, it went the other way. I was amazed by the open culture and I went more into PMO and sex. And now when it started affecting my studies, my inner self and my thoughts. I was terrified. Nothing was going my way. I was trying to quit but i felt helpless. I masturbated almost everyday and wasted 2-3 hrs everyday watching porn. I was torn apart and I didn't knew what to do in life anymore. Then I sat and started searching how to get rid of PMO. I am already away from sex and have not gone for sex since last 30 days. I think if I control I can get over PMO too. I am 27 now and my porn habbit is 15 years old. I hope Nofap can help me get over it and get a new life. I am also looking forward for friends who can help and motivate me in this journey.

    Thanks so much for reading my long history. Let's fight together.
