Hi guys, Dai here. I've been addicted to porn since I was 13, was exposed to it when I was 11, I was just a child, a mere child. Well you know how the story goes, I'm 24 now and porn has taken me to dark places I don't want to go any longer. It has robbed me of my life and vitality, I choose to give in, I gave up on myself and others. I fapped to digusting images that revolt and bring guilt and shame to me. I have times when I would get flashback of those images I had came across, it haunts me. I just relapsed today after a pmo dream. I take full responsibility of my depraved actions and I no longer wish to be the person who is a slave to his immoral desires. Never again. I will pluck out my eyes and cut off my hands. I'm sick and tired of this. I know I can heal. I ask for help and the opportunity to help others on this forum. I no longer wish to be an addict. I know this is not the real me, I know I can be better. PMO is not my identity, nor will I left myself be defined by my actions or even urges. I wish to rip off my old self and forge a new man. For that I need to be in a community where I can help build others and be built in turn. Will you give me this chance brethren? I SHALL ENTER THE BATTLE, I WILL VIOLENTLY RECLAIM THOSE LOST YEARS, I WILL STOP MAKING EXCUSES WHO IS WITH ME?!!! THE FIGHT STARTS NOW!!!!!

Hi, welcome to the community I would recommend you to stay in touch with members and read their success stories. You may also learn tricks to avoid the short-term pleasure and to face the temptations. Be AWARE of your habits and control what you see and what/who you spend your time with. It's also important to limit the usage of social media. In addition, never be free! Use your free time as much as possible and do sports, exercise, attend classes, etc. This video contains everything that you need to know about porn addiction. Lastly, here is a collection of ways to deal with the urges which worked great for me. ֍ You got this my friend ֍
