i saw my first porn in the form of a nude calendar my friends and i found on a dirt path in the park at around age 5/6/7, not sure exactly, but i didnt get into PMO until a few years later. with the exception of a few months after i became a Christian at age 19 porn has been a part of my life since i was about 10, which will be 22 years this year and i'm sick of it. i'm tired of the wasted hours (by now it's probably entire months of my life gone) and the guilt, shame and all the baggage that comes with it. i'm tired of being tired of it. my life has taken a pretty big down turn in the last two years and i've come to realize that while there are many contributing factors porn has been a huge part of it - maybe even the root cause. in any case, i'm done denying i have a problem and i'm done doing nothing about it. so here goes nothing! day 0 of nofap. i'm going to try the 'reboot' and while i dont think i can go full monk, i want to quit porn entirely. i found some good info on yourbrainonporn and they generally suggest to stick with 'what works for you' so i'm going to take their advice and start with the basics. no porn. masturbation - i'm gonna try and limit that, but i i'm not making any commitments there and i'll see how it goes once my screen time is more sanctified so to speak. i really hope this takes root and i can start moving on with my life!
