Re-re-introduction

Hi guys, I'm dogeatdog and I've had a spotty history with PMO and NoFap as a whole. I first learnt about NoFap in 2018, which was the same year I created this account. As I was only 15 years old at the time with very little self-discipline and not having really researched the effects of porn on the brain, I struggled to keep streaks that lasted even a week. After repeated failres of NoFap I went off the forums completely and continuously PMO'd until early 2020. This year, especially after lockdown happened in my country, really allowed me to look at myself and realsie how much of a problem PMO addiction had become for me. I was struggling to hold conversations with girls, would spend alot of my day thinking about porn, and couldn't look at my female friends iwthout imagining them in sexual contexts. This honestly disgusted me and with a new mindset of having to get better, I went on my longest streak I think I've ever gone since discovering P which was 100 days. Around the same time I was very active on the forums trying to give advice to people and also become a moderator assisstant which honestly I believe helped my streak last this long. Since I was doing very well with my streak I decided to open up to my father about my PMO addiction that I'm battling with and he was thankfully very open and accepting of me which was really nice and brought me to tears. Unfortunately, a few days after my birthday, I came home drunk from a party and foolishly made the decision to PMO for some stupid reason. My triple digit streak broke and I didn't go longer than a week without PMO after that. Shortly after, probably around February 2021, I stopped my streaks entirely using "exam stress" as an excuse. I'm coming back to the forums now, over a year later, as I've realised that PMO has become a huge issue for me again and I'm hoping to slay this beast once and for all. It's kind of crazy that I started this account in my last year of middle school and now I'm wrapping up my first year of university. Just goes to show how hard it really is fighting an addiction like this hahaha. If you took the time out of your day to read this, thank you! I'm hoping to make some friends on these forums that I can have good discussions with, andd hopefully we'll be able to motivate each other to go on our longest streaks. Good luck, guys!
