    Hi NoFapstronauts,
    Couple days back I accidentally came across a podcast on pornography and it's impact on brain. Then i searched few more videos on porn addiction and how it is ruining people life. Watching those videos i realised I am one of those addicted person. Although it did not shocked me as I was already feeling that my habit of watching porn is getting out of control. But those videos invoked my inner self and inspire to make efforts to quit porn.
    The very first time i watched porn was at the age of i guess at 19 but i started masturbation almost 5 years before. So i can say i am masturbating and watching porn for almost 15-16 years.
    Since the very beginning of masturbation and watching porn, i always felt a guilt within and used to initially swear that i will not do masturbation for 1 month, 2 months etc. i was able to achieve those target in the beginning but later i started failing and one of the main reasons was abundance of porn with novelty, my lack of will power or determination to quit. When the act of masturbation and watching porn became habit and that habit turned into addiction i did not realised.
    This addiction creating a lot of problems for me at personal level like guilt, shame, low self esteem, trouble with partner, low sex drive, every time to find lonely place just to watch porn.
    It is jeopardizing my personal relationship, career etc.
    Quiting Porn is the only solution i see now to cure all these problems.

    Thanks
