What's up everybody.
I'm Brazilian, and this is the first thread in this amazing comunity. Probably I'll make some English mistakes, but don't worry about that, and I hope anyway you guys will understand the whole idea in my posts. For me, starting a topic in English and writing in English without Google translator to help me is a huge huge huge improvement. And I'm glad about it.
So, let's start with a brief summary of my journey with NOFAP.
I'm 25, and since my 18's I discovered a Brazilian's website which dealed with healing from pornography addiction. And then I officially started my journey. It was in september 2016. Since then, as I said, I can say I officially started my journey in NOFAP. Sure, in the meantime, I also have discovered Gabe Deem's work, Gary Wilson's website, and some others contents in English, but because in that time I wasn't so good in reading and understanding English, I got the Brazilian's website and, anyway, it was the best thing I did in my life. Now I'm also trying to take advantage of the content in English, because as we know, there's a plenty of rich information.
I won't be extremely detailed with dates, but I joined in a reboot more or less in december 2016 and from december 2018 I was completely free from pornography. Maybe I could be forgetting some resets in this time, but if I did reset in some point between this journey, it was 1 or maximun 2 times, and I'm pretty sure I was more than one whole year free from pornography between december 2016 and december 2018.
In september 2018 I traveled to a kind of exchange, and it was the best time in my life. I did a lot of new friends, met a lot of new people, visited new places... To say, I really improved in this travel. In july 2019 I came back to Brazil, unfortunately (hahah), and slowy, without realizing it, I was so and so getting back to the addiction I've worked hard to become free. And I can say since July 2019 I'm strugling again with pornography.
Obvious, still in 2019 and maybe 2020 I haven't noticed I had an addiction, and also because I was consuming pornography not as much as I'm consuming lately... Let's say, in 2019 and 2020, probably I was consuming pornography 2 or 3 times a month, so I thought I was in "control of my addiction". But it escalated with the pandemic... During pandemic, my pornography consuption was increasing slowy, and without realizing it, I was losing control of myself.
Since begginning 2021 I then realized I lost control of myself, and it was when I thought I should do something to regain control in my life.
I'm still struggling, but I'm pretty sure I'll overcome this and become a new free man.
This is my first thread here, and I hope I'll be posting in the following days of my journey.
I'm in the same Brazilian Forum I joined since september 2016, and I decided to join in this one to interact with more people.
I hope you guys are doing and will be doing well, and - as Warner said - 'that's all folks'.
Hugs, and see you soon.
