I’d call this a fight, but I’m just getting my ass kicked.

    Hey everyone, I just joined Nofap after listening to a podcast that encouraged accountability in this journey. I’ve been addicted to porn for 10+ years. I can’t go to sleep without watching it, and it’s starting to bleed into real life.
    I was in a serious relationship with a wonderful girl for 4+ years that ended recently. Unfortunately, part of the reason was my sexual expectations. I wanted what I wanted all the time, and put pressure on her. I fucked it up.
    We broke up 2 months ago, the porn use stayed consistent at 2-3 times a day, but it’s not enough anymore.
    I ended up finding some hookers to fulfill my fantasies, felt like shit before during and after. Tried to quit, made it a week, failed worse than I ever have before. I’m fucking embarrassed but I ended meeting up with a random stranger I found online. I feel sick.
    I know this is unhealthy and I’m ashamed of how far this has gone. It’s effecting every part of my life and I want help. I haven’t gone more than 10 days without porn or masturbation in a decade, and those 10 day gaps are few and far between. I don’t want to tell anyone in my life about what’s going on, so I figured I’d try this out. I want to be in control of these urges, I hope there is help to be found. Today will be day 1 of my reboot.

    Powerful share brother. Really powerful!

    Thank you. You just inspired me to go to be without acting out.

    Thank you!

    Welcome to Nofap, btw...
     
  4. These forums exist for just that purpose...to help you. But the person who is going to help you the most is, big surprise, you. I can' stop you from jacking off, neither can anyone else on this site. But we're all here to support, and hopefully inspire, you. And we look to your journey for the same things.

    So many of us have been in that exact same situation, myself included. Though for me a "streak" used to be about three or four days.

    More often than not, it tends to be the situation many find themselves in. I've told a few of my buddies that I'm doing no PMO, but I haven't gone into the specifics of my addiction with them. I'm a pretty light-hearted, open person, and very laid back. And so are my friends. So they just took it in stride. They give me shit about it from time to time...but they're just messing with me. All in good fun. But, yes, this site is a good place to go when you can't talk to anyone about your addiction. I keep a journal here and write things there that I can't say to anyone else, not even my buddies.

    All the best to you, focus your energy and go for the win.

    Well raise your guard up if you're getting the shit beaten out of you.

    Put up your guard: workout, block all triggers, pray, find new hobbies(boxing, hiking, reading books), confess, learn to code, learn a language..

    Definitely going to have to put that energy into positive things. I’m going to try to improve my guitar playing, be better about the gym, and I actually do want to learn to code. Thanks for the support
