DAY 1
Hi, I'm an 18 year old guy who is struggling with a PMO addiction, but my main problem is masturbation with fantasy rather than porn. I have been trying to quit since December 2013, and to say i am sick of failing is a gross understatement. All i want is to be free of this addiction. I can go a few days without doing i e.g. 6 or 7 days but then crash back into a binge. Masturbation affects me physically as it drain my energy like a vampire and it also affects me psychologically, i have real confidence and self esteem issues and feel like it is the root cause of my lack of friends and social failings. I have been scouted as a model before and told i am good looking multiple times by different people so i know it is not an issue of me being ugly (not being arrogant, just going on the evidence i have). I try to act confident around people but i feel like they can still see that i am not really confident and maybe can sense a weird aura about me? I believe excessive masturbation is the cause of this.
I have written journals in the past and failed but that was when i wasn't working to improve the rest of my life. I am now being much more strict with my weightlifting, trying to read more books and go on the internet less, doing bioenergetic exercises in the morning (Elliot Hulse) and meditating etc.. So i think doing this journal daily will be the final piece in the jigsaw.
So anyway, today is day 1 and i am excited to be actually logging my progress this time and will hopefully be able to get the likely depression/withdrawal symptoms on here and out of my system.
