    Hi all. In 3 weeks I'll be turning 49. I've been whacking off to porn for as long as I can remember. Ever since my early childhood. I've now come to a crossroad where I want to make something more of my life, and that means honestly addressing my porn issue.

    I'm originally from the UK but have lived outside of it for the past 20 years. I'm married, have a wonderful wife and an amazing daughter.

    I'm looking forward to following to wisdom, words and advice from all the people on this platform to help me overcome my relationship with porn. Knowing you people are all there to guide me is a massive boost and a positive force! Thanks in advance :)

    Welcome! I've made the same decision at a similar stage of life. I don't want the dopamine rush any more. I hope you find the support you're looking for. Have you created a reboot log? Joined a challenge?

    @cosmicology hello and welcome to nofap you are definitely in the right place. In reading your story I found a lot of identification, as I turned 56 this year and have been struggling with porn addiction since childhood. There were a lot of factors that put me in that direction but, that's not important its just stuff that happened. Whats important is you want to address your pmo issue. Most of us who have been at the site for a little while have created a journal which you can log your thoughts and progress what works for you and what triggers you - this will be helpful for you in your recovery. If you check your inbox there should be an email welcoming you with lots of useful information on pmo and porn addiction and different techniques and tools to aide you in your recovery. One of the things you might want to do is a 90 reboot where you abstain from any and all types of sex for at least 90 days. This will help you rebuild self esteem and possibly help you if you are suffering from p.i.e.d. porn induced erectile dysfunction. I know it helped me quite a bit this past year, my first reboot lasted 150 days and im determined to improve on that in the next year. Read about it, learn about it, do something about it - you can have an improved quality of life when you are ready to... I wish you the best of luck on your journey :)

    Thank you for the initial support and encouragement. Knowing you guys are there going through the same journey is very comforting. I’ll be dipping in and out of nofap community if and when I need to connect. But I will make sure to keep a journal going to help me along my path. Thank you again for being there. I hope to return to favor as my journey unfolds.
