Hello there! I've read some stories on forum and I guess my story isn't so special as I thought. I've started watching porn since I was 13-14 and now I am 24, so it's about a decade now. In my case I didn't really search for it or was curious but stumbled upon it when I was doing my school project (no kidding). I guess got kinda hooked up and started to return to it day after day watching naked women showing things I never seen before that aroused me in strange way. I can say that about this age I started to be more socially awkward and shy, so maybe it's connected i don't know. When I was searching for it after I didn't go directly like googling porn, but rather try to find sideways making it seem that I am not searching for porn (like googling anime and going to hentai or porn that what I mean), but who am I kidding. I am still doing it that way most of the time. Well, as time went on I can still see changes it took on me: awkwardness, daily anxiety, low motivation skin problems etc. Never really had a girlfriend, although had few a chances. I guess my lowest point was when I watched porn and masturbated at work in the bathroom (several times actually), just couldn't help myself. Over time I tried to quit porn on my own I don't now how many times, but 1-2 weeks or a month (my best record) something would set me off and I come back to the same pattern. I tried to do it on my on, I really did. But failed all the same. Lately I've become a fan of one great book "No more Mr Nice guy" by Dr Glover (it covers porn addiction and masturbation problem too) which I recommend I every man who is still reading this post. There was a thought that if you going to do something the same way you going to end up with the same results. Another is that if you want to recover for porn addiction you should open up about your addiction to someone, get support or help. I've never before tried to communicate with other people about my problem, you know shame and all. So I am going to try to do this differently this time. I found that community very supportive and informative and I gladly joined. I am planning to start 3 months of rebooting (no porn, masturbation)
That's what I am going to do during my 3 months period:
1. Blog posts every day about my success (even if it's just a few words)
2. Read stories of other people people and interact with other members
3. Believe in myself
Well I guess that's it. Oh, by the way it was my first day - on my experience the easiest of days, but still. If someone want's to share your stories put your links in comments, I am will read it and support you as well. Thanks for reading and I will see you on the top of the mountain!
