Beginning of a new life

Hi,
I am a 32 year old male from Pakistan. I am a muslim by birth and never had a girlfriend except in childhood. I am shy and introverted and i have difficulty even talking to women.
I got addicted to masturbation at the age of 15, no body told me about it, it was my curiosity that got it all started. I would MO 3 to 5 times a day back then, i used to have very few friends from the beginning, which strengthened my MO habit i guess. I had no access to porn back then but still with having MO only i started noticing my erections getting weaker and harder to come by, i also sometimes felt severe weakness which i thought was due to my MO habit but was not sure, i tried several time unsuccessfully to put an end to this debilitating habit of mine, but i had no will power. Then came the year 2005/2006 when i had first ever encounter with Internet porn. Back then we still haven't had a broadband connection but i was able to browse still images and sometimes short movies. The days went by and my porn habit got stronger and stronger (and of course we got broadband connections as well). By the way, i have never been interested in the hardcore porn genres. I have always been a fan of the soft-core, at most lesbian thats it, never ever seen hardcore stuff. Since my MO habit at the age of 15, i am suffering from ED, i don't know if P.I.E.D and Masturbation related E.D has something common or not? but i want to give Rebooting a try and see if it can give me some relief.
I want my suffering to end, i know i have to do this if i want to get married or get any girlfriend. I also think i have an extreme case of love-shyness, i had a couple of crushes in my past, but i never had the courage to go and talk to the girl. Some of my friends managed to muster the courage and got successful, other did not but i... oh! i couldn't get past just wishing and thinking about the girl i like. I don't know if this has anything to do with my PMO and MO habit at all.

Thanks.

Hello. I think you've made the right decision in taking on this reboot program. I hope you get documented as much as possible on this subject and learn from the mistakes of others through their stories. Be strong, courageous and remember that this doesn't happen overnight, it takes a lot of time and patience to be successful. Good luck !

Thanks David!

day 2, it was pretty normal without any strong cravings coming up. But i am sure it won't stay this way, and i will feel the pressure perhaps 10 or 15 days from now. I will need an accountability partner for sure!
