Hello All, I am new to the whole forum life so bear with me. I have always Viewed pornography and sexually explicit on the internet, however the past couple of years I have noticed it become a serious problem. I am 24 years old fro, the US, and 2 years ago lost my mother to breast cancer, and my uncle 6 months after. The stress and depression of dealing with this and trying to graduate college developed contributed to my addiction and made it what it is now today. I struggled to resist daily even with a loving girlfriend. The issue has grown to me using online cam sites and using my hard earned money to feed the need I have. I almost feel like a different person and am so emotional after I view and even pay to see these things online. I feel like I am unhappy with who I am and a majority is due to my addictions. I am hoping that his community will help me overcome these problems I have and I appreciate you welcoming me in. I would love any advice and honestly just some peace of mind that I can better myself and overcome my addictions. Thank you, Moomoo0626

Welcome to NoFap where you are amongst friends who are here to encourage you and sometimes challenge you but not judge you. Although I don’t know the pain you have experienced due to the loss of your mother and uncle, I understand the pain that grief brings. I lost my father, then a sister, then an aunt and then a cousin and finally my mother, all within a little over a year’s time. Depression often accompanies grief and too often we turn to what is harmful to us for escape and comfort. All is not lost, you can overcome this but it will take time and require sacrificing some things and changing habits. Your sobriety is dependent on how willing you are to let of PMO as your source of comfort and escape. I is a process and we are here to help you through it. The enemy is here to steal, kill and destroy. What are your current strategies for combating the enemy called PMO?
