Hey, what's up?
I originally posted this on the august challenge thread because I didn't read the welcome message upon signing up, so this is just a copy, paste of that post:
I'm Qua. I've been struggling with PMO addiction for about a decade and some years of my life and I can't seem to find a way to stop using it as a coping mechanism. The shame and guilt holds me back from experiencing life and building relationships and I send a lot of time alone as a result, even though I'm aware that this is exactly what leads me down this dark path.
I am posting so that I can have some sort of public commitment to my nofap journey. I'm not going to allow myself to watch porn or masturbate this month but sex is fine. Ideally I would like for my life to be PMO free but I don't want to overcommit myself, so my commitment will be for the rest of August.
There was a time in my life a few years ago where I went 4 months without and despite being in a flatline, I made friends. I felt powerful. I had the respect and admiration of those around me and I was way more willing to try new things. I would like for that feeling to come back, and I want to be a better person who doesn't have such a disgusting habit. I don't want to isolate myself anymore.
So I want to post on here often to try and keep myself accountable with others on this forum. If anyone would like to be accountability partners, I think that would be helpful to us as well. I'm looking to post on here daily so we will be in touch.
