Hi all... new guy here. I just discovered NoFap.
Briefly.. I'm 28 and have been using PMO for probably 15 years now. And I'm fuckin' sick of it. I first decided I "didn't like it" about 7 or 8 years ago. I deleted an entire collection at the time. Things waxed and waned but at one point I had gone 2 years without looking at porn. Well I found and continue to find that this stuff is hard to quit. It has come back over and over again.
Mainly, I have found that my constant struggle for this and desire for PMO and white-knuckled breath-holding resistance against my urges is literally killing me. I am constantly exhausted, stressed out, unhappy, lacking confidence and purpose in my life. I have become so consumed that it's literally affecting my ability to function.
I am convinced that porn is garbage and it's bad for everyone. It preys on our natural instincts and then jacks them all up beyond all recognition. I effin hate it, I can't continue to live like this, it's too exhausting and draining and after I spend my days trying to resist this garbage and then giving in over and over again I barely have enough energy to get out of bed.
How about that for a stream of consciousness... if anyone would like an accountability partner to stay in touch with via e-mail or PM to make sure that we stay on track and keep coming back to the forums be it here or reddit or wherever.. let me know. I know I can't do this on my own and I bet we will be more successful if we work together to help each other out.
