Salutations Everyone

Hello everyone,

I've been using the NoFap website along with reading the forums for about 3 to 4 months now. Originally one day I decided to stop PMO during lent, during that period a learned how much of an addiction I had. I would say in part this truly helped kill my marriage, even though I wasn't happy, it made me look outside of my marriage to PMO or have my ex at the time try being in an open relationship.

I used to wait until everyone was asleep in order to PMO and wait until everyone was up to PMO. This made me slow to sleep and slow to wake up, making me tired because I wouldn't go to sleep.

The first time I went without PMO I was actually quite successful, but I had timeboxed my period to Lent, and didn't know about the NoFap community. Once lent was over, I jumped back on porn and kept thinking "I'll stop tomorrow". Recently I had a conversation with my girlfriend and spilled the beans. I told her how I felt about it and how I needed someone to keep me accountable. It's been 3 weeks since I started another reboot and I relapsed about 4 days ago. Today more then ever I have felt compelled to stop working through this myself and become active in the community. My girlfriend is very supportive and is constantly checking up on me.

In closing, I'd like to thank everyone of the NoFap community for building a resource to use. Talk to you all soon.
