    I'm new to the NoFap community. When I read the Porn Addiction basics I was shocked because there was knowledge I learned that provided an explanation of why we behave the way we do. There's a reason there is nothing wrong with ME. It is in my biology.

    Excessive masturbation and porn has resulted on a demotivated lifestyle, where I am extremely overweight and unhealthy. The pyschological effects are profound too - sense of shame, low mood or agitated mood and brain fog.

    Once event of masturbation throws off my ENTIRE day. I can't function properly and fullfill my responsibilities. I feel like I have failed myself.

    Well, I'd like to make changes folks. For MYSELF first and foremost and for my wife and daughter. I've decided I would embark on the PM challenge. For the O-part I have decided it would ONLY be with my wife and not myself.

    I hope to join with an accountability partner..... Here's to hopefully a new chapter and new start to my life.

    Good for you, @livebytruths.

    I'd suggest taking some time getting to know this place. Given yourself a couple of weeks and commit to logging on every day. Read some posts. Write some posts. Perhaps start your own journal. Get a sense of what works for you here, what's helpful. And then build from there.

    On the one hand what we're doing together is crazy difficult - undoing years of dysfunctional programming. On the other hand, it's pretty straightforward - just do the next right thing. I find a balance of both perspectives extremely helpful.
