New To This Forum But Not NoFap or P-Free

Hello, my hope is to stick around here and make an effort to help myself and others. I am your average 24 year old male with a PMO addiction/problem.

Rather that try to make this longer than necessary, I would say this addiction started as curiosity.

Back in 2005, which seems like forever ago, when i was in 5th grade i experienced my first taste of P***. My older brother had moved on to Middle School and my Mom had to be in the office by 8:00. We'd all get up around 7:00 but i didn't have to be out by the bus until 9:00 or meet up with my neighbor friend/his mom until 8:30. That gave me 90-120 Minutes to do anything. I'd play around on my GBA, watch cartoons on demand, music videos, and play the family computer. When searching for new games i eventually stumbled to Newgrounds and would watch the flash movies etc. Of course, there was the "adult" section and i stated away from there until curiosity got the better of me and the rest is as you would expect it...It didn't help that there was/is such an abundance of material that uses cartoons and such.

And this continued and naturally escalated. I didn't recognize it as a problem until my first year in college but in retrospect i would say there was deff a problem as early as 10th grade.

PMO was a cure all...Rejection, stress, boredom, tired, jump start in the morning, etc. Escalation, intensity, binging, etc. i've done it all. I eventually found nofap and P***free on reddit but never stayed around or tried to become active. My second year of college i finally downloaded K9 (defunct now) but all that did was cause me to migrate to my phone for usage. Flash forward to now and i use Cold Turkey to stave myself off from major sites but again, there is always my phone, and MANY methods to circumvent and obstacles. In fact, i'm pretty sure i bricked my old laptop by trying to force uninstall K9 during a block. Ending up having to spend $350 immediately for a new ASUS laptop.

As far as currently goes, i'm realizing that simply blocking the outlets to act out online is only 30% of the battle.

Well anyhow i'm here and hopefully can help myself and others.
