    Hi, my name is Carlos and I'm 23 years old.

    I must to admit - I'm addicted to porn and masturbation.

    I've started watching porn when I was around 10, I guess. I've had periods when I wanted to give up on that, but it didn't last longer than a week. After a week (or mostly even earlier) I felt a feeling like I have to masturbate. Back in my head I've had this thought: " Don't do it " but I've had a lot of excuses, like : "It's probably healthy to ejaculate once in a while" or "I'm gonna feel better after masturbation" or "everyone does that " . I couldn't stop thinking about it. I felt the pressure. When I was at school, I couldn't wait until I go back home and can just play with my penis.

    Because of masturbation and porn I destroyed some of my relations, my career, my university, my relation with God (I'm Christian), I gave up on my dreams.

    Nobody knows about my struggle. This is the very first time I try to look for some help here. Last time I was masturbating and watching porn was December, 29th, 2016. So it has been over a week. And today again I felt this feeling: "You have to masturbate , go watch some good porn and relax yourself " . But this time , the voice back in my head was stronger. I think it's God that stopped me today and gave me a chance to find this community. I really hope we guys can help each other and that I'm not gonna go into that shit again.

    Even after these days of absense I feel like something started to change , and it's going the right way.

    Guys, I'd be really grateful for any words of support or any other message from you, if you feel to text me- feel free.

    WE CAN DO THIS !!!!

    Carlos

    Gavit18 , you're strong enough to stop it. Remember!

    Gavit18 , we can't let anything to decide for us what we want to do. It's OUR LIFE and addiction cannot decide for us.
    It's destroying your life ,and the fact me or you are here means we don't want it !! So let's do this ! It's obvious we CAN do this. We've taken the first step already !

    Don't give up. Once you win you'll see results. Do it for yourself man, it's gonna be better. I've tried to fight this for probably 9 years, but so far this is my biggest step... 10 days ... But I'm proud of it, I know it's gonna be better. So you have to believe. Don't let falls discourage you from getting an awesome life in the future.

    Carlos93!
    ​
    You have hit the ground running, haven't you! Thanks for your great introduction! I joined NoFap only last June, and did not think I would last long -- but it has changed my life. Yes, often it is despair and loneliness that brings us here, and what is needed is a positive attitude and a commitment to change. NoFap works because of the friendships that are formed as we proceed together in this struggle to become whole. I wish you all the best for the journey ahead!! Call out if you need help with anything. Cheers!

    Hi @Carlos93 , welcome to NoFap
    It is a big step if you can understand what is triggering your urges, because this will allow you to be awake and kill those urges as soon as they appear.

    I recommend you to create your own "Emergency Toolbox" with readings that can be handy to read when you start feeling urges to screw up.
    I can share this post with you with my own Emergency Toolbox, it helped me a lot during the first few months, i had them in my cell and read them every time I started falling down:

    https://www.nofap.com/forum/index.p...y-first-320-days-of-reboot.62938/#post-473978

    I wrote some tips in this post that perhaps will help you too:

    http://NoFap.com/forum/index.php?threads/tips-that-helped-me-to-start-my-reboot.46617/#post-330318
    You can watch some interesting videos which are also very helpful in this post:
    http://nofap.com/forum/index.php?th...t-help-me-a-lot-during-my-reboot.39774/page-2

    I also suggest you to read "Breaking the Cycle" by George Collins, it is a must-read if you are serious about getting rid of this addiction.

    Last but not least, I would strongly recommend you to take the NoFap Academy course if you can afford it. The course is great but the best value are the weekly video calls with @alexander (the creator of NoFap and NoFap Academy) and Mark Queppet, where you can chat with them in real life and listen to other guys's stories and problems too.

    I hope that all this helps you to fight this shitty addiction.
    Let's keep on fighting

    Fercho

    God still loves you. Christ died for all of the sins we commit daily. Once you confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness, they are forgiven. As you continue on your NoFap journey, call out to God to give the strength you need to endure this journey to healing.

    Check out In Case You Didn't Know for tips and strategies to help you on your journey.
