I am 19 years old. I started watching porn when I was around 9 or 10. I have been masturbating and using porn since then. I noticed my addiction was a problem about 3 years ago but I have not been able to get it under control. I used to do it very little back then but overtime I started to use it more and more. I recently moved out of my home town to my own apartment and that is also when I noticed my porn addiction has grown into a problem. Now I masturbate to porn 2-3 times a day and it is seriously affecting my life and mental health. I have had some problems in the past with my penis which I think have a lot to do with my addiction. I had to get circumcised when I was 18 and could not used my penis aside from masturbation. I am a virgin still and have come close to loosing it, from hook ups and tinder dates, but never have. I have never had a girlfriend or even come close to having one and have trouble with my social skills. PMO Is something that has just taken over my life. I want to quit so bad but I never can. It seems like everything I do is a que to want to masturbate. Waking up, checking my phone, going to the gym, showering, going to bed. I have been looking at YouTube videos form people like reboot nation, hamza, and Noah Church. They recommended joining an online forum and that brought me here. I know that this is just an obstacle in my life that I have to get over and it is not gonna stop me from following my goals.

Entry 1
I did use porn today. I starting over now. My triggers were waking up and going straight to my phone. Showering with my phone in the bathroom. I’ve been sick this past week and that is something that has not been helping my progress one bit. I notice when I don’t use porn, for the short amount of time I try to stop using it, everything in life is so much better. Recently I went on a 5 day streak and it felt great but then I broke the streak. A problem I have with breaking the streak is once I do break the streak, I’ll start binging porn for all the time I missed out on it. I have to learn to stop that. On a brighter note I am grateful for the fact that I can begin my journey again. I have a positive mindset right now so hopefully I can keep the streak alive.
