    Hi guys, here in Brazil we have something called NoFap september, I don't know if it exists in other places and this year I wanted to participate, I noticed that porn wasn't making my life better in any way and also it was my way to get rid of the depressed feeling I was having. I work as a freelancer web developer and it's kinda stressful also when it comes to money, health and stuff like that it makes me feel depressed and I found porn as my "way out" but I noticed that it was something in the moment, after the relaxed moment everything bad was back again, it was like a drug, even tho I never used anything. It's horrible, I feel like this addict is like crack and you want to get rid of that and is on the clean up steps, but I gotta be strong and don't fap.

    I agree with you - it is horrible. Especially the let down afterwards, realizing that once again using pornography as a way out has only succeeded in moving the problem down the road but not helped in any way to overcome it.

    I wish you all the best.

    Exactly, it's being horrible, I mean, not that porn is the main problem but as I'm kinda depressed and also anxious I can't sleep and when I can't sleep or feeling like that porn was my way out. I'm awake until now, it's like 5AM here already and I can't sleep but trying to be strong in order to don't see porn or masturbate. In the mean time I'm trying to think how I'm going to solve my problems. It's a really horrible feeling.
