Excited to be here

Hello everyone, I am glad to join this community, and I am looking forward to achieving the goals I have set for myself with your support. I am here to quit porn, as I think it is very detrimental to my relationships, quality of my daily life, as well as my self-worth even. I have tried to stop watching porn a couple of times before, but I have gone back to it eventually. I realized the times I was happy and content, and I was productive doing something in my life, I did not watch it; on the contrary, when I was feeling down, worthless and unproductive, I caught myself watching more and more. Then this becomes a vicious cycle, and I seem unable to find a point to take me out of this circle. Luckily, I found NoFap community at the right time: When I was able to escape the vicious cycle and before being dragged back into it. I hope that I will find the support here to keep me going without porn, and to manage to quit it for good.

 

@abapir ,

Welcome! It's great you found us.

What you are describing is withdrawal symptoms from online porn. The brain wants those "feel good" chemicals.

Watch the video on that page and it will explain better than I can how the cycle of porn addiction works.

Also, the "Getting Started" guide is great.

Keep coming back and start a journal -- the journals are located in the age section.
