    Hey everyone, so today is my official day I begin Hard mode for the 14 day challenge. My P addiction has stemmed from past relationship rejections I've had in my life, which crippled my confidence and have had a hold over my progress in life for roughly 5 years now. I am a 20 y/o male soon to be 21, and have been experiencing some of the toughest brain fog I've ever had. When it comes to making a decision for which career I want to pursue, I'm taken aback by the amount of attention I give to other people's advice except my own. I believe I already know what I want to do for a day job and build a side business around, but my lack of self confidence and ambition rooted in P addiction has led me to asking way too many people what I should do instead of listening to myself. This has flowed over to other categories of my life such as love and health, where I find myself constantly paralyzed by indecision and overthinking. I believe that a full 90 day hard mode reboot would serve me some justice in being able to retake control I once had over my life. We must have a greater purpose for our lives in order to have the courage to abstain from PMO. Stay strong brothers!

    Hey @determined488
    I am 20 and Im starting now my 90 day reboot too (day 4 currently). Please have faith in this because it will help change your life. But you have to work in yourself too, in trying to change your life because NoFap alone or abstaining from porn alone will not change your situation.
    Look, what I wanna say to you is that your lack of self confidence and all your emotional problems arent rooted in porn addiction. Porn addiction as any addicton is just a sign and a manifestation of your emotional problems. Of couse, if you stop it will help but you have to find deep deep down the cause of your suffering. Mine is a trauma and a lot of false beliefs that I hold with myself (like "I am not enough" "I dont deserve to be loved" "the world is a bad place"). I am working on changing my beliefs and discovering my true self. I strongly encourage you to do the same.
    Take care and be strong! We are all in the same boat!

    Hey I understand what you are saying, but what I meant to come as across was, Porn amplified my lack of self-confidence and feeling like I wasn't good enough. The negative habits both served as counterparts to one another, ultimately giving me so much brain fog to not even realize what I say most of the time.
