Hi there! I'm just like everyone else here trying to recover from all the toxic imagery they've been consuming since they first discovered it. So yeah, I'm not all that different from anyone else here. I might be a bit older than the rest of the teens here (hitting the big 20 this year) but other than that I'm just as determined as everyone else, if not more.
My goal is to beat my record of 40 something days by the time I turn 20, and to hopefully continue on the road to recovery after that.
I've been dealing with the poison since I was maybe eleven, and have been on and off for about two years since I first discovered the your brain on porn, no fap, reboot nation. It's been tough, but I don't plan on giving up ... ever.
You know it's funny; every time I feel like I've failed, and decide to renew my resolve and strengthen my determination I always manage to find something new to help me. One of the recent things I've found is a website called 7cupsoftea.com. It was surprisingly helpful. Basically someone listens to your problems, they don't give you advise, they just listen and sympathize. They don't judge you or undermine your problem. I found it to be especially helpful for me, because I always wanted to talk to someone, but I didn't want to tell any of my family or friends because I was embarrassed and felt ashamed. Anyway, you can either make a general request for a listener, or a personal request to someone you like or from your region. This is the listener I talk to. I even considered becoming a listener myself.
I know this might look like some shameless advertising, so feel free to just ignore it if you you feel it is, and if you don't then give it a try, I doubt you'll regret it.
