    OK so, I've been thinking about creating an account for a while now but I always seemed to believe that I wouldn't need it in order to quit PMO for good... After relapsing more times than I can even count I think the time has come for me to become a new fapstronaut and chase my goals with the help of the community.
    I'm a male 18 years old and my addiction started at the age of 14. A month ago I used to masturbate while watching porn on a daily basis. I suffer from derealizasion and brain fog. I feel like my emotions are completely numbed and I am not able to live a fulfilling life. Its like I am in a strange dream, locked inside my on head. Communication has become extremely difficult lately and I seem to be disconnected from the people around me.
    I am about to go to the university so it is really important to me that I quit PMO for good in order to live my life happy and energetic. The most I've ever managed to stay away from masturbation is 15 days.
    I really hope that this journey is worth it and that I have what it takes to achieve my goals.
    Let the journey begin... :emoji_dizzy:

    Your story resonates with me. I can vividly remember when I was your age. I can’t say I did it to excess. I am older than you are so when I was your age we had Playboy, Penthouse etc. Before the internet. Hard to believe. While I am not where you are now in terma of age, I can relate to the PMO and being hooked. I am 49 and trying to break free. I can’t say that I have the brain fog or symptoms like that it I can say it has impacted my sex life with my wife and believe things will only get better if I can quit this thing.

    You are about to go to the University? Is dating an interest for you? I know when I was in college I dated a lot. It dodn’t completely make the problem go away but real human contact does help.

    Staying busy and not being by yourself a whole lot will help too. In college hopefully the social life will be active for you.

    I can’t say I have the answer but I do hope that you work to get a handle on it while you are young. This forum/ website is a great start. You see folks from around the world that battle with the same thing you are battling. That should provide aome reassurance that you are not along. I am going to try and do like I tell you and be strong- you can do it. I believe we all can beat this habit.

    Hello and welcome to the community. You can reboot with or without nofap, but the forum sticks you in the paint. Enjoy your university years as much as you can...
