1 year ago I found NoFap and it changed my life

A year ago I was trying to stop especially my sex addiction. I remember myself sitting on my bed and trying to find the mental and physical strenght to quit

I had questions. I had questions since 7 years ago when I started with my addictions. Why me and why I ended up often having sex like in a porn

I bumped into an online article of a Catholic newspaper that talked about the creator of NoFap and why he created this platform

a post caught my attention. it talked about the way an addict had sex, like in a porn. it was sort of like me. i can't describe how happy i was to find someone who was like me

it still took me some time to decide to change my life but in March 2017 i became a member of Nofap. I always wanted to talk openly with other addicts, not feeling judged

Thanks for the support, clear from 4 months and a half

Yes, of course I am glad to help you guys Here is a list of all the changes that I have noticed so far:

• from the 3rd month i noticed a total disappearance of shame, guilt, self-loathing (I went to not even been able to look at myself in the mirror due to my p and sex addictions or I didn't want to be seen by my then-flatmates for how disgusted I was of myself, I am a 25 year-old girl and it was hard to accept i did certain things especially being a female. If i was a guy, maybe i would have not feel so ashamed) now I feel like i have never done those stuff and i have never been an addict. I feel truly reborn and proud of who i am and my achievements
  
• I stopped having suicidal thoughts with scenes of me dead (going to Mass and confess helped me so much , i have been through very painful months before deciding to start my recovery. basically i didn't have another chance. God is my rock, i dunno what i would have done without my faith in God, I am Catholic btw )
  
• i don't see guys as pieces of meat and think if they are hot or not. I see guys as people
• i don't think about sex or related stuff to it anymore, before it used to be on my mind constantly
• I don't imagine scenes i have watched in porn in real life anymore
• Since I am PMO free, I am improving my life via my studies and work (sex and p were never a solution to pain and depression)
• I am a completely diffferent person since I started my recovery, I am in control of myself. My instincts used to control me even when I tried to get power back
  
• I have less and less triggers now. almost none. If I had any I just go for a walk, be around my parents, workout, study or work (I keep my recovery tracked by using daily on R Tribe app that is free and where i put my thoughts everyday before going to sleep)

Thanks to God ,my family and NoFap community. You can do it too! Keep fighting, it is worth it. In order to be the BEST AND HAPPY YOU. Your addictions do not define who you are or who you have been in the past. Remember this, it is important as it was for me.

I am never going back to porn and sex in that excessive and wrong way. I have not had sex in 6 months so I haven't tried that to give a feedback on having sex while rebooting. I just wanna do it with a guy who will care for me, love me and treat me good otherwise I don't need sex. Porn used to feed my craving for sex, without that I am a free human being

I used sex to be close to the other person, to be loved but I never had that and i deserve it. I know i do now. I can see crystal clear how 7 years of addictions damaged and poisoned every aspect of my life and my relationships. I wish you both all the best in your reboot. it is never too late to start a new life with purpose
