New here, starting the journey to kick this 10+ year habbit

So about a week ago, when i was about to PMO for the second time that day, I had a bit of an emotional breakdown. It was an epiphany of sorts, a long time coming, and i decided to join this community and take control of myself.

It feels good to finally say it: I am addicted to PMO. I have been for over ten years, since i was about 12 years old. I am now in my early 20s, and after some reflection, can say definitively that this addiction has had a severe impact on my confidence, my mental health, my motivation, and my life. I am an addict of many things, drugs, media, food. But it took me so long to finally admit to this addiction, perhaps because it's the most taboo to speak of.

I PMO at least once a day, often times more. I do it out of boredom, habit, to cope with anxiety. I do it because im single, and have been consistently for a few years now. There's the occasional hookup, but overall im usually alone, and craving intimacy. And as time goes on, i find myself branching out into stranger genres, more specific fetishes. It's getting concerning, and im going to stop. Enough is enough.

Im glad to have found this community, i am grateful to those who create and maintain it, and everyone here who is willing to listen and help.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the motivation. I've decided this very moment right now is the start of my first 90 day challenge. Honestly though, i'm so sick of living like this, I feel inclined to just quit for the rest of my life starting now. For now it's gonna have to be one day at a time though

 

That sounds like a great idea, feel free to hit me up whenever, im always down to talk. I could definitely use an accountability partner.
