Hey folks,
i just want to talk about my successes with NoFap since my start in the end of 2019.
I am 35 years old and from Germany.
My whole life i have watched porn since i was 15 years (so scaring that these generation starts earlier than this).
Especially in contact with woman this attitude killed all my confidence in life. I had no self esteem, specially in contact with women. My social anxiety was so huge.
I had a deep shame in me and PMO made these shame even worse and worse.
I started to get a mid depression with suicidal thoughts in 2010 and finally in 2017 visited a therapist. So a long time beetween that. PMO wasn't the only bad habit. I believe that alcohol and some other things are as bad as PMO and are a big trigger for depression and PMO.
Since 2017 i made a new start with reading a lot of books of self development. From time to time i have deleted a lot of bad habits and started
to quit porn in the end of 2019. I have found this forum and made my first 400+ retention streak after some false starts.
I have also started to make a one year mental coaching 2020 with a lot of meditation techniques by a great German coach. Meditation is now a big part in my life.
Since 2017 i have also worked on my social skills in form of working in jobs where i sell something to people like on markets and in an ice-cream store. Nowadays my social anxiety is on the lowest level in my life but from time to time it is still there. I know i have to face that fear over and over again.
My last long semen retention 400+ days streak went from mid 2023 to the End of September this year. I've been able to totally quit porn since 2020. In my long streaks i made experiences with wet dreams, which i haven't had before in my life. I find it inspiring how the whole human works.
I know that retention/ no PMO is only one part of the big whole, so there are always temptations like social media, sugar, alcohol etc. in life.
My next big target is to get to 500+days semen retention.
When you are searching contact, especially from Germany let me know, maybe i can help you.
Good luck for everyone on your own journey!
