    Hi,
    i'm 42 years old. i don't think i've ever gone more than 2 weeks without masturbating since I reached puberty. Often I masturbate three times a day. Also i've had a porn addiction since age 20 and watch it for several hours at a time. I have depression and low self confidence.

    I've been aware of my addiction/problem for a long time. I've come to the point where I've had enough and I want to make a change. So far i've gone 13 days without PMO. I want to go the rest of my life without PM. I know that's probably a lofty goal but I'm going to try.

    Welcome to NoFap, bro. Porn addiction and depression often go hand in hand. I'm glad you've recognized that this is a problem. Coming to NoFap is a step in the right direction. You're already making progress. :)

    Hey moofkah,
    I have some of the same issues. Can I ask if you are dealing w the depression part? How?
    I can't give up my only means of anxiety-response, and my only source of endorphins, and not go crazy. I have to substitute it with other things. So I am trying a lot of stuff, and hoping you are working on these, too.
    I wish us both the best!

    Hi OldSofa,
    I have been on anti depression medication for about 4 years now.
    It is something I would like to stop taking eventually.
    Recently I have gotten heavily into running (I find running with others helps), and I have started a plant based diet as well after watching "the game changers" documentary.
    I'm still feeling low energy but I'm feeling happy with myself because I'm still on my no PM streak
