    I will just write this for the sake of it. My addiction to both Porn and masturbation began at separate times, but, one led to the other. Unlike many stories out there, I didn't start watching porn because of anyone, I didn't even know what it was until I was 13.

    Estarted when I started feeling attracted to the opposite gender, but it run into my mind what things most young guys had in their minds. I started masturbating without even knowing what I was doing, I just knew it felt good and liked it, so I kept doing it. I guess after watching many sexual scenes on TV and movies, it wasn't even to see censored scenes. I needed more.

    That the age of 13 I searched the word "Porn" on my browser. I regret this action until today, four years later. One video was enough to trap me into an addiction which has made my anxiety, and depression harder to manage.

    I made the decision to end the addiction, but it never goes more than three days until I give in. I'm currently part of my youth group at my church (I'm a Christian) and only one them knows about my addiction, I hope I can find strength within me to win the battle.

  3. Great to have you join us!
    That's definitely similar to the stories of most people.

    Keep a daily journal (no need to write long essays) so we can see how you are doing and help/encourage you. Btw you can link your journal to your profile's information page so ppl can find your journal easily.

    NF is usually a long journey, so continuously learn and improve and you will achieve your goals, no matter how hard it seems. Take NF seriously.

    PS getting an accountability partner helps ;) You should also check out some ytbers like Universal Man and Fearless DAN, they got some nice stuff.

    Almost 24 hours since I started,
    Almost 48 hours in, yesterday and Today were pretty good days, I did a lot of chores, and other stuff to keep my mind off thoughts (which I have realized, are the triggers that lead me to watch and masturbate) I noticed how motivated I have felt to do things. I know hardships will come, but I think I'm ready to overcome this.
