Day 1:
I am a 22 year old, I graduated from college a year ago. I know my first encounter with porn was at an early age but I can’t remember when exactly. I remember browsing porn on facebook when I was like 13 on my mums phone, i didn’t have a personal phone at the time and my mum wasn’t really using hers. I watched porn but I had not masturbated before , tbh I never knew what masturbation was till I was 16, when I caught a guy masturbating in the toilet at my boarding school. I was really irritated by what he was doing and I never knew I’d be doing the same thing a year later. I stopped watching porn for a while because I didn’t see the point( that was because I didn’t know what masturbating was like at the time).
I masturbated for the first time, at age 17 , after that I got hooked. At the start of every year , I always make New Years resolution to stop PMO but now I’m 22 years old still struggling to stop. Today is 1st of February I’m marking the date ,I believe I’d stop . Masturbating has robbed me of Joy and self confidence amongst other things . I know that stopping this will make me a better person . My longest streak without PMO is 2 weeks. I masturbated yesterday, after a week, I felt really disappointed, as usual but I’m not giving up. So I’m here for looking for support , and accountability from anyone. Starting this journal is the first step I’m taking , my second step is avoiding triggers, so for now I’m taking a break from social media, instagram , twitter and Snapchat. Forgive me if my writing isn’t really organized, I just wanted to document my thoughts as quickly as possible and not procrastinate starting my journey on reboot nation. Wish me luck. ( I also need an accountability partner, so if you’re down . Please feel free to reply . Thanks)

Day 2:
Downloaded my instagram again. But my feed is clean, it’s just mostly about programming stuff, cars , male fashion and dogs.
Today was good , just going to sleep early , I’d try my best to start sleeping before 10pm .
 
I slipped two days in a row , I feel so stupid and ashamed. It’s so hard
Come on you can do this ¡¡ , thats the cycle that PMO makes on you . I hope this image can be helpful to you Bro. When the urges come again this may be a reminder to tell yourself that voice in your brain who tells you that you need it , it's lying to you and will make you fill ashamed and stupid everytime you fall on that trap. :

I’ve never seen this picture before, and it really speaks to how I get when I get the urges… ah. Makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one dealing with this cycle.
