2 months without porn as a teen.

Hey yall, pretty new here, been lurking a couple weeks and I wanted to make a post about how NoFap and quitting Porn has changed my life.

First of all some background, I am 16 and in high school, I first started using porn and masturbation around the age of 12. I would do it frequently and it felt great at first because it was a whole new sensation but it quickly got out of hand.

I would jerk off almost everyday and just feel like shit all the time. I couldn't have normal conversation without feeling a deep sense of shame, guilt, and self-loathing. It made me depressed and I was considering doing a lot of harmful things to myself.

But I finally discovered NoFap around 4-6 months ago and after feeling like shit for the past couple months, I said fuck it and went fap free for a week. LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS NIGHT AND DAY, my life almost improved instantly, I felt more energy and actually felt motivated to do things. I started having more responsibilities and I was ecstatic.

I did relapse a couple times, in fact I relapsed a couple days ago but each time I try to go a week longer than I did before and it's great.

I have more confidence in myself, usually finding myself as the group talker and the confidence to talk to girls now. I always was able to be nice to them and just kinda be far friends but never actually get to know a girl personally. I was talking to a girl 1 on 1 and having an ACTUAL conversation with her and I felt great afterwards.

My grades also started improving, I felt motivated to work hard and actually achieve something rather than chasing pixels in a video game.

This is my story and I plan to continue it. PLEASE anyone, especially people my age, give it a try for a week and see how you feel, it is truly unbelievable how much more alive you feel rather than sitting all day with your life force gone.

I know I am rambling but I had to share, thanks for reading and have an awesome day guys and gals.

Yeah, I actually helped my friend out with this issue a couple days ago and he's giving it a try. He used to suffer from all of the stuff I said above.
