    I started watching porn in I think July last year, I remember I got introduced to it from a friend of mine who did it a few times..
    We were chilling in a bus stop and I remember I told him why he watches porn wich his reply was he liked it alot.
    Now I knew back then what masturbating was a little but I never tried it out untill one night I was alone in my room and I searched it up and boom that was my first time ever masturbating to porn. then next day came and before u know I did it every other night
    Its been a year later and Im still adicted to this
    It even got to the point I masturbated to almost everything, Anime, characters I used to watch in cartoon seris, people out of movies, people I remember on the street, even classmates I used to be friends with or were in my class when I was younger.
    I tried to stop for first time 2 weeks ago and I manage to not PMO for 5 days but then in my bed one night I really felt like I wanted to PMO again and I did it again :(:(:(
    I tried again 2 days ago and this morning again I failed
    It feels like all the dopamine I used to get from other things became PMO and that only
    Now the friend who used to be a friend back I talked about has a GF and he told me he had sex with her and felt amazing and I have no one, no one likes me :(
    I have like no hobbies I was thinking of exercising but I have depression and horrible anxiety sorry my english and spelling is bad because im stupid
    thanks for reading :(
    plz anyone there? help :(:(:(:(

  2. Wait, you've only been addicted to P for one year? Be happy that it's only been a year, numerous people here including myself have been addicted for decades since early teens (you're 21 as I see so that's a plus, too, you didn't start watching P when your brain was developing rapidly)

    PMO is a drug just like cocaine, they are even similar in functioning on the brain

    If you just quit for 99%, you will 100% fail. You simply need to give 100% if you don't want to fail. This is even why I don't want to go into details with my story of being addicted to P, I know that it maybe could give you an insight into how a P addiction is like for 13 years, but writing about that would trigger me, I'd be only giving 99%

    There's real pleasure in the real world. Like taking care of yourself and your room (cleaning yourself and your room has a meditative effect i guess) is how I cope right now.

    No one needs PMO, but PMO needs you

    You sound young. Quit now before it consumes you. You are only a year in and found this NoFap. Consider it a blessing.

    I'm 24 and still addicted to porn
     
  5. If you are stuck in the PMO cycle it’s because your life isn’t what you want it to be. It’s that simple. Start thinking about what you want your life to be like and start doing what it takes to make it happen.

    Its been a month aaaand....
    I tried but the temptations are so big and I did it again :emoji_disappointed:
    I will probably do it again this night, it is so hard because I get instant pleasure from this and its so hard to let it go :emoji_cold_sweat:
    BUT OKE I will try again next week, NO EXCUSES, NO JOKING AROUND THIS TIME :emoji_angry:
    THE IDEA IS: IM GONNA DELETE MY SAFARI ON MY PHONE AND DISCONNECT MYSELF FROM IT SO I CAN NOT GET ON IT AGAIN :emoji_hugging:
    I hope this works
    ( I start next week because I wanna give myself little more pleasure this weekend... Im just bored and I cant find anything to do but guys I promise
    myself I will start next week to stop for 1 week and see how that goes)
    My highest record was 4 days 2 weeks ago and after that I felt like going back and yeah I did go back :emoji_cry::emoji_tired_face:
    but its ok because I will try again next week:emoji_relaxed:
    I will tell God to help me with not going back to pmo
    have a good night if you read this at night :emoji_grinning:

  14. Listen very carefully because this isn't a joke or something to take lightly. I am 20 and I've been struggling with this for 6 years and you have no idea how much I wish I was your age and barely got into it so that I could stop it earlier and prevent it from being as problematic as it is for me now. I've been suffering from depression and anxiety these past years until I forgot how it feels like to live without them. I got used to waking up in the morning every 3-4 days filled with shame and guilt and feelings of self-hatred and worthlessness because I had a relapse the previous night. I struggle to sleep and when I wake up I feel like I haven't had any rest and want to keep sleeping because by doing so I'm not hurting anyone including myself. I doubt that you want to feel like that or live this way so make a solid decision of stopping while you still know exactly what you want to do about pmo and never ever watch porn or masturbate again. Install a porn blocker and limit your phone usage.
    I know I'm not in a position that allows me to give advice but I believe if I had tried these things in the early days of my addiction I'd have stopped pmo a long time ago. Make the decision and stick to it and always remember why you're trying to quit. PMO is not worth it...at all.

    Hey guys,

    Its been awhile again :emoji_weary:
    It sucks to say this but I did it again yesterday.. :emoji_sweat_smile:
    I blocked my safari phone and put a passcode on it but everytime I find a way around it :emoji_unamused:
    I have no self discipline at all and I gotta stop this but im struggling with the temptations and its not easy to not think about it :emoji_rage:
    I feel like I cant sleep at night if I dont do it and yes eventually I will relax and fall asleep but Its harder to fall asleep especially :emoji_dizzy_face:
    when I think about porn all the time :mad:
    I GOTTA STOP THIS BUT ITS LIKE MY BODY NEEDS THAT DOPAMINE :emoji_clap:
    One thing I notice is I get more vivid dreams often :emoji_relieved: but when I pmo Its like I just deep sleep myself to the next day :emoji_open_mouth:
    I remember this one time It was on a sunday I didnt masturbate for once and I got a lucid dream! It was my first lucid dream ever and there were people with me in a room and we were flying out the window and it felt soooo amazing :emoji_joy::emoji_sunglasses:
    I WANNA REPLACE PORN WITH SOMETHING ELSE IF I ONLY KNEW WHAT COULD GET ME THAT SAME DOPAMINE LEVEL I WOULD REPLACE IT IMMIDIATELY
    AND NOT GO BACK ANYMORE :emoji_smiley:
    I was thinking of working out but I cant really find any motivation
    I barely have friends IRL so it will be hard but I guess I can face it as a challenge
    I know I can do it :emoji_disappointed_relieved: but It just feels like if I get rid of all the pmo I will have to suffer and think about getting that dopamine and it just doesn't feel good :emoji_disappointed:
    I really dont know If i should ask anyone help...
    I guess I have to walk in defeat like anyone else :emoji_cry:

    :emoji_writing_hand: Sorry for all the ''I'' each line :emoji_grin:

    I assume you are young and you have no idea how your are lucky to find such good help from this community, because this addiction can ruin your skills with girls and keep you jerking to porn for 10-20 years. There can't be excuse "I fix this problem tomorrow" , because you could potentially tell same false story for the rest of your life. Take an action now.

    Replace porn by approaching girls and setting dates, and write me message I'll can send you book how to be successful with girls. Read that book at least 3-5 times, your not only gonna be porn free, but you gonna have thousand amazing experiences with girls. If you do it, you gonna thank me for the rest of your life.
