    My name is Pedro, and pretty sure I have porn addiction
    I started fap early and with time I got addicted, I dont usually have things to do, so I found porn a distraction, but i think its starting to lose limits.
    Now a days I even got a Gf and I have sex, but I keep fapping.
    I really want to lose this addiction and I hope to complete that challenge here.
    Im 16 years old (young I know), and im a normal student, just addicted.
    Im even guessing that the fap addiction can affect my school grades...
    That´s a little bit of my history.
    And I wanted to know the beneficts of losing this addiction.

    Welcome Pedro, I'm glad you are here. You are right in realizing that porn and fapping happen more if we don't have enough to do. Keep busy!

    And keep coming back.

  3. Welcome. Glad you are here.

    Take some time to read the reboot material - it talks about the benefits of stopping. Also, come up with a plan for what you will do when you are faced with urges. It has good advice, so don't skip it! :)

    Perhaps start writing a journal - if you feel comfortable telling people about happened and what's going on now, you will start to feel accountable to them. You may even inspire others. It's a nice feeling! This will help your recovery.

    Also, IRL, try to add something into your life that makes you the kind of person who doesn't engage in PMO. Think about doing:
    Something you enjoy
    Something you're good at
    Something important
    Something for somebody else, without thought of reward (and if you DO get an unintended reward, do something ELSE, perhaps for a different person or group).

    Read the journals of others - we all learn from each other. For example, I received the above good advice from a far more experienced member of the community who shared his knowledge. Don't just stay within your own age group or part of the world. Read, learn, apply.

    Look around the forums, get to know people. Everyone is friendly, and will try to support you. We're all in the same boat here. :)

    Be kind to others and others will be kind to you, both here and IRL.

    I wish you a successful reboot.
