Hi everyone. I am a recent December 2021 college graduate and as the title suggests, I am currently working remotely from home. (SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR TLDR)
A little background about me: I discovered masturbation, or orgasm at a really young age with a pool jet, yeah I don't know how and don't ask me lol... Anyways, I never did watch porn or masturbate until much later. I originally started masturbating because I was tired of wet dreams during puberty (facepalm xD). From there, I keep doing it because I figured it was harmless and that everyone else was doing it.
Flash forward 7 years later, when I got to college I became educated on the harmful effects of porn use. From there I decided to quit and fought my porn addiction off and on for 4 years. Starting in my senior semester, I had a year and a half streak of no PMO going. At the time, I truly believed I beat my addiction.
However, everything changed when I graduated. I moved back to my parent's house 2.5 hrs away from my college and started a new job working remotely from home. Then 2 months after that I moved out of my parent's house. The loneliness and boredom finally got to me and I relapsed. And then again and then again. Now I can't get a streak longer than 1 day it seems. I know that I can't stand to be alone for long periods (aka sitting home alone for 40 hours a week
). For reference, I am a single male who is introverted. Originally I thought I was moving away to a new city to work in-office but my office was actually still closed due to covid until mid-march. I moved out of my parent's house because I wanted to protect my Mom who has a low immune system covid, as I was wanting to go to large social gatherings.
So, I'm joining this community because I want to learn and gain support from others regarding PMO, especially from anyone who is currently working remotely from home. I am starting this thread because I also want to give any tips or support that I can to anyone in a similar situation.
TLDR: Addicted to PMO for many years. started nofap in college. had 1.5 year streak going until I graduated and started living alone AND working remotely from home. Single male who is introverted and nver had a serious romantic relationship. I Joined this community for support and advice regarding fighting PMO addiction while also working from home. I am already keeping a private journal, but I liked the idea of rebootnation's public journal. During this journey, I will post any advice that worked for me and will gladly offer my support to anyone going through a similar situation.
