    Hey there,
    I have been struggling with porn for most of my life. I am twenty-five and have memories of looking up softcore stuff (i.e. underwear ads) online since before puberty. I didn't know why at the time, but I liked looking at it. Then I hit puberty and stumbled across one of my brother's porn links in the history tab and the rest is history... Around this time last year, I realized that I wasn't living a healthy sexual life and that I was using my sexuality as a coping mechanism but didn't care enough to do anything about it. However, in September, I decided to seek counseling to try to build up better coping mechanisms and, through counseling, I found out that my porn addiction became such a huge part of my identity that I didn't know who I really am (if that makes sense). Over the past few months, I have been building up better coping mechanisms and have 'tried' over and over again to quit porn but couldn't. Honestly, I know that wasn't trying my hardest at the time to quit but I am now at the point with my counseling that I know I have to give my all to quitting in order to discover who I actually am as a person so that I can move on with my life and start developing healthy relationships. My counselor suggested finding some form of accountability. I heard about NoFap from all of the memes online and I am so glad to see that everyone here is dedicated to kicking their habit! Anyway, that's my story haha
