Finally, I came to this forum

Hi everybody !

I'm new here but I discovered this website some time ago. (Please excuse my english since I'm not a native english speaker !)

So, I'm 24 and I've watched porn since I'm 12 (I don't remember exactly). I think I'm not seriously addicted. There was always entire months without porn (but never longer...). Although I've never experienced ED, I find myself disgusting after watching porn. Moreover, I'm catholic and as you may know, luxury isn't really a good point. At least it gives me additional motivation for quitting ! So, it has been a long time since I decided it would be great to stop.

I really decided to quit about a year ago when I confessed my addiction to my girlfriend. She didn't blame me and was very understanding. So I started to keep a day counter (NoFap, no porn). I must say I already achieved 95 days by the end of July ! But... I relapsed. Actually I relapsed 4 times since. I really thought I was cured but the truth is I'm not. Don't misunderstand me, I do not complain. I'm aware some of you guys have some real problems to deal with. Let's say I was (I am...) only a small porn user. But still I really want to completely give up on that shit once for all !

If you have any advice for me, don't hesitate ! I thought I could manage to stop alone but I can't, that's why I finally decided to post here. By the way, it's good to see websites like this one exist. For this I thank you.

 

Bashi you're so right ! I saw it coming for days ! It is as if small thought came into your mind and get more and more about porn. I've just installed a porn blocker on my computer. It's not very efficient since I can easily deactivate it but at least it blocks suggestive content to avoid triggers.
Thank you for your post Chari, I should spend more time reading about recovery success it gives hope !
