    Hey everyone. I'm Marcus, 30 years old, and someone who needs a major reset. Last year, I experienced 5 months of sexual sobriety (no porn, masturbation, or promiscuous web chatting). It was one of the most freeing (albeit also sexually frustrating) stretches of my life. Since then, I've been floundering. Going to chats and especially masturbation on such a recurring basis. I feel like my sex drive kicked into high gear after the 5 months ended. It's like I'm a teenager again in the most annoying ways.

    Anyway, a friend told me about this site and I figured I could use some regular check-ins and accountability. I've let too much slide under the rug over the last year. It's time to start tackling my issues rather than run from them and ease my anxieties with orgasms.

    To the journey.

    @Marcus1108 welcome to nofap. I understand what you are going through. I my self had 15 months of sobriety and when I relapsed it was like addiction was back with vengeance.
    There is a silver lining to this situation as the experience of long stretches makes us believe it is possible and we will be optimistic about our journey even you don't feel like that right now. The reason for relapse and the cause of addiction are the same and we need to find out what that is.
    I encourage you to start a journal in your age group and you will make progress.
    I wish you good luck!
