Hi all,
I started my journey 2 years ago. Like most people, I encountered ED when trying to have sex with a beautiful girl. I quickly realized it was fapping and porn that was the culprit. I made a commitment to myself to quit porn for good. On my 3rd try at nofap/pornfree I made it to 90+ days, no pmo of any sort. No edging. No porn. No masturbation/orgasm. I got better socially, managed my anxiety and met a girl! All was good on my end. I no longer needed porn.
Shortly after though - the girl broke it off (I was too needy, I guess) and I was crushed. Fell into a deep depression and yeah, you guessed it - went back to PMO. I also got a new boss, who I didn't like and work began to stress me out way too much, with all the stress of work and relationships combined, it has been over a year since that happened and I have struggled a lot. My best record last year was 55 days, and then relapsed.
Then I joined nofap forums and got to 66 days. It wasn't quite no pmo, more like no 'o' with some 'p' in between and edging. Nevertheless I went on vacation and had sex successfully 3 times. When I came back though, work was so stressful again that I relapsed to pmo. I used pmo as a stress reliever and now I realized I need to join the pornfree/reboot nation forums as well. It's not enough to target nofap, I have to fight porn just as much.
Today is Day 0. Today I get back on that horse. And today I have to choose the right path again.
