    Hi all,
    I'm new to this forum, but not to NoFap, so let me tell you my NF story.

    I've been struggling with porn addiction for about 1.5 years now. It was when I discovered I was unable to perform in bed that I realized this shit is harmful. It took me quite some time to realize how powerful it is too.
    I found out about the NoFap community in May this year and that's when I managed to stay away from porn (but not masturbation) for 96 days. Then I caved in to an urge and the struggle got even more difficult since then, especially because I was attempting to do the real 90day reboot. My biggest streak was 14 days (at the end of which I got laid and got a glimpse of the benefits this can bring).

    This morning I relapsed on my second day of attempt no."I-don't-even-know-how-many". And I saw that I have not been taking this for what it really is: an addiction. I've been half-assing it until now.
    All the while I have done well when it comes to self-improvement: I work out 3x a week, I've been learning French for over a year, I meditate (struggling to do so everyday though), I have a great job that pays well and I am reading and studying new stuff all the time. I can always do better, but I think right now my lifestyle is set up well to support my fight against this.
    But when it comes to porn addiction it's time to take it seriously. And that's the reason I am here. Being an active member of a community may be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle.
    I hope and believe that at the end of next year, we will be able to honestly tell ourselves that 2016 has been an amazing year without PMO. Let's go work on that.
