    Hi my name is Daniel, right now I'm 29 years old.
    I started addicted to porn probably about 20 years ago at 5th grade, by accidentally found my parents magazines with nude contents. Since then i've been craving to find more and more porn pictures and started to masturbate since it feels good and I didn't make trouble for other people. It gets worse by years, I keep masturbate whenever I can, started by once every week until once every few days, it keep on going when I'm in middle, high school.
    After that i go to college in another city, got my own private room and internet connection, more freedom with friends, you can guess what would happen. I always been the quiet type in the class and with this much privacy I've become more and more secluded, not good with community, lack of social skill and less productive. Porn consume me more and more by years, I've keep on doing it even though I feel guilty and tired after masturbate, I've tried to find some enlightment but all I've searched was its effect on health (some source say that its healthy), or religious side (some source say that its not really sinful, and you're not give trouble to any other people). I didn't consult or ask other people thinking that I was abnormal and alone, only I got this problem and other people wasn't and it is something that I consider private. I was thinking that it was okay to keep on doing it since it gives me pleasure and limited the problem to myself. It keep on going until I graduate, work, and gets worse since I craving for more fetish (femdom, lesbi, etc), and became more "enslaved" by porn.
    It was just recently, few month ago that my friend in facebook referred a website about recovery from eating disorder, physical, sexual abuse, at first i just surf the web nonchalantly until i found that one of the topic was about porn. There I learned that I'm not the only one with this problem, from there I began searching anew about the danger and negative effect related to porn and addiction, and started to walk on the right path, but it wasn't that miraculous too, I keep on failed after few weeks of attempt to stop. Until accidentally I found video about nofap in youtube few days ago and decided to join, hopefully I can stop this cycle and become a better person, don't want to become an addicted enslaved by porn anymore.
    Sorry its a long story and my grammar aren't that good, glad to be here

    Your grammar is fine, no worries. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?

    For now I think I'll stick to :
    - Religious approach : pray, listening to worship song, go to church every weekend
    - Social & sport : joining sport community (right now aikido every monday, friday and jogging community every monday, saturday)
    Which if I relapse I'll surely exhausted during training, but I still afraid if facing with unexpected trouble, sometimes I relapse to help me thinking more clearly

    That's all I can think of for now, any other advice ? I haven't checked all the forums in nofap too, maybe you can reference some advice/forum?
