Longtime Lurker, Now a Member!

Hi all,

I'm a second-year engineering student and I've struggled with porn addiction and compulsive masturbation since high school. PMO has definitely been a root cause of many of my issues like social anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation, and over the last two years I've tried many times to reboot but have yet to reach 90 days clean.

I no longer have any doubt that I want to rid myself of this. I've realized that PMO is a coping mechanism that I turn to when faced with stressful situations and failure, but if I always run from my problems I will never become the person I want to be.

I have been reading the NoFap forums for quite some time now, but now I'd like to get more involved and share in building up one another. Accountability in our relationships is the way to win this fight!

See y'all around!
