Hi Everyone! I absolutely have no idea why I'm writing this! Reading Alexande Rhodes automated welcome message suggesting me to post a thread and introduce myself I said lets go for it, so here goes nothing! The name is Amin, 21 year old male and a computer science student living in Iran. I'm currently trying to study and work hard for having a chance to apply to a proper university in Canada in the field of Artificial Intelligence. I love writing, good (preferably rock/metal) music and movies. I'm interested in philosophy and any form of art and have a special taste for grotesque art specifically in the form of painting. Now here are the fun stuff, I've been depressed for five years by now and broke up with my girl friend recently and I'm not trying to be funny or cool but I don't consider myself very normal and sometimes I get confused by my own actions and I hate 90% of the people around me and actually anyone in general (after I get to know them). Recently I decided to make some big changes in my life, I'm trying to be more sociable and find good qualities in people to love and the main reason for me to be here is that quitting porn is one of those changes. Despite of the fact that I know every reason for porn to be unhealthy, I love watching it and fapping to it, but not anymore (I hope)! I tried many times to quit but quit quitting every time and now I want to take it more seriously and do it systematically! So that was me! thank you all!
Hey man welcome to NoFap! It's great that you've begun to make positive changes in your life, just like I've been trying to. Quitting porn will really have a strong impact on your life especially if you've been doing it for such a long time. Even though I've gotten through the first week only it feels like weight is slowly being lifted off me and since I was depressed for such a long time I know what it feels like to. It's also great if you have a replacement activity along with it (which you seem to have like your writing and listening to music). Good luck with everything!
