    Hello everyone.
    I'm a 21 year old male and a university student. I started porn around 6 years ago, and now I'm addicted to it. Every time I watch porn, I feel ashamed and I'm so infuriated with myself that I usually start hating myself, and then I make a promise to myself that I will never ever watch it again. But i couldn't keep my promise for long.
    And this addiction has bring so many adverse changes in both my physical and mental health.
    So that's why I have joined this forum. And I hope that I will be able to get rid of this menace.

    Hello fellow fapstronaut!

    When you're in an addiction you have little or no control over your actions, but the thing you always have control over is how you react on it afterwards. When I was younger I also had feelings of guilt and shame but gradually they disappeared because my reaction to it afterwards changed (so my labelling of it gradually started to disappear). Afterwards I always thought I'm now now and what is done is done, how will I prepare for the next time. This already helped a bit with these feelings but the thing that helped most was acceptance and self love afterwards because that is when I needed it the most. The thing that works for me over the long run in worst case scenario is if I know I will relapse, try to masturbate with self love take it easy and let go and restart and make a longer streak. My body and mind notice the difference afterwards.

    I hope this helps a bit & good luck on your journey!

  5. Heyyy welcome to the NoFap forum : ) It's nice to see you here fighting the good fight alongside us!

    Here is just some advice:

    First and foremost please take a look at each section in the forum, there might be something(s) you may find of big help to you. Feel free to post there :+)

    Then secondly I just strongly advise you to be active on your profile(as there quite a few active people in the profile section). Please start by choosing an avatar and then make daily status posts to show you're active and needing support/encouragement. They've also got a neat little feature that shows freshly posted statuses for all users to see. People will find your profile and give you encouragement/support.

    People (are beginning to) love communicating in the profile section..(it should be and is )mostly spportive talk but it doesn't hurt to deviate from supportive talk. It would be great to have you join in and support others in the threads, profiles, and journal, we could always use your help and in return you shall receive some as well!

    Thirdly, You should also highly consider creating a public journal and write about your days in more depth for us members to follow along your journey and offer support to you by way of posting in your journal.

    Last but not least: Good luck on your journey here, make sure to really give it a try with all your heart!
