New to the site

Hey y'all. I'm brand new to the website but not necessarily brand new to NoFap. I try not to count the days but I'm somewhere around three weeks in right now. I've been in a support group chat with some good friends on the same path and thats been helping me a lot but I'm excited to start posting here and get more involved with a wider range of the community. Other than the guys in my group chat I also have my girlfriend and my family behind me supporting me through this journey too. I'm definitely blessed with that.

Little bit about me, I'm a 22 y/o from the U.S. Full time student at the moment working on becoming a firefighter/EMT. In my free time I weight train, run, and practice martial arts daily. I also have an interest in practicing other self-improvement techniques like cold showers. Anyway, I've been stuck in the pmo scene since I was in junior high. A problem I'm finding is all too common amongst my generation since we grew up with high speed internet and society increasingly normalizing p. It's crazy how much the industry has escalated and crazy how some pretty deviant stuff is becoming the norm. Something else I've learned recently thats crazy to me is how you don't have to be a heavy user to find yourself experiencing addiction symptoms. At my peak, I would pmo once every other day. Sometimes once a day but that wasn't as common. I've only ever done it twice in a day a handful of times. I have friends who can do it multiple times a day and have no complaints about feeling addiction symptoms. Crazy how differently it can affect people. I've noticed it didn't seem to effect me much when I was single, though. More so began affecting me when I got into the current serious relationship I'm in. I guess because seeing how it could effect other people that you care about made me realize how much of a problem it really is.

Anyway, that's about it. I look forward to joining this community. Thanks y'all.
