    I'm not really sure how to start this introduction but I'll try.

    Having a porn addiction sucks, big time. Porn addiction and social anxiety has completely messed up the way I communicate with women. The anxiety might have been there first, but porn made my anxiety much worse as I have trouble with thoughts. Where ever I go I'm in one way or another thinking about the women I meet. Especially on first impressions. Thinking both sexually but also how I should act to not "screw up" my "chances" at getting on their "good" side. This is ridiculous to think about with a clear mind but in the situations I feel like it's the most natural thing to do. It's hiding in my consciousness and I want to let go and be open and genuine.

    I hope and will strive to make this work out and keep at it and I'm happy to get to know more about this community and the people here.

    Welcome! You have done your first step! I see you have acknowledged the harm that it has caused you so use that as your MOTIVATION to QUIT! Try to think of your FUTURE self and who you want to BE! I recommend you start a reboot log because this will make you feel more accountable of your actions and inspire people! Also don't think about it too much during your day and instead focus on other things like your everyday tasks or doing things you really ENJOY both mental and physical (your hobbies if you don't have any I recommend you to find one, workout). Give time to what is going to be WORTH in the long run! Hope you the best on your new journey!

    Welcome to the forums @sick of it ! The community here is very open, and there are a lot of people who are willing to share their own experiences and advice with you if you reach out to them. We all ended up here in our own unique way, but we are all working towards a shared goal. Never hesitate to ask questions here, there's always someone willing to answer :)

    If you haven't already, I would recommend that you create a journal thread in the journaling section of the forums. Keeping a thread for yourself is a common upkeep for many people on the site here. It can be used to reflect on your days, and record your progress towards your goals. I encourage you to give it a try.

    I wish you the best with your reboot. Stay strong.
