    Hey Guys, I invite you to join me on my journey to 45 days PMO free, as the first half of at least 90 days.

    So basically here's how it all went down. I've masturbated from a young age, and discovered porn at the age of 14 and have used it almost daily and multiple times a day since then. As a result with real girls I've sometimes had an issue with DE or PIED/ Not a huge one - no pun intended, and most of the time it was OK to good, but I was always worried about porn use and often had to think about porn to O. After I graduated I began to really struggle with depression, and my PMO went even further through the roof.

    This was when the brain fog and anxiety really began to kick in. And I mean I didn't care about almost anything, I could NOT focus on anything or remember even simple tasks that I had to do that day, couldn't hold them in my mind long enough to do them. I wasn't really sure what was going on, but was aware the the way I was using PM was probably unhealthy. I'd often thought I should cut down, but had never managed to go more than one day unless I was in a situation where it was impossible for me to M. Then it all was thrown into sharp relief after I read an article about how Terry Crews had overcome porn addiction. This article had a link to Nofap on it, which I followed.

    I was pretty blown away all in all. The brain fog, the dependency, using M to regulate mood and distract from your problems, it was like I was reading about myself. I mean I still had friends and hobbies, but they were slowly disappearing in correlation to my sustained increase in PMO. So here I was and I was forced to say to myself that I really did have an addiction, and a serious problem. So I began my streak, aiming for 30 days. I've always been competitive with myself, so I was pretty determined to make it 30 days to begin with. SO when I relapsed on 28 days I was pretty shocked. I mean I'd been experiencing all the benefits of Nofap, the increased energy, the confidence boost, the removal of brain fog, the interest in other self improvement projects, I was prepared and hadn't expected it to be easy, so how could I have lost control and failed like that?

    So this time round I'm writing a daily journal here on Nofap to chronicle the highs and lows of my journey to at least 45 days, and hopefully beyond!

    TL;DR - tried my first streak and got to 28 days, to help this time I'm keeping a daily journal and aiming for 45 days

    Peace out guys, and good luck in all your own journeys!

    Avoid porn as much as possible. Download a blocker if that helps.
