Hi everyone,

I've been reading some of your success stories and although I cannot post on every single one and write you each a specific comment, I would like to congratulate all of those who are on the reboot path and keeping up with the hard times, as well as those you are fully recovered and loving life.

Today, you all have a new brother join the reboot clan, me. I heard about reboot nation on a local radio show, it was an interview with one of the founders of the website and they were discussing how porn has desensitized our generation, become an addiction and how bad of a problem it truly is... It was disconcerting to listen to the interview and recognize ALOT of the symptoms and behaviours in me. I've known for a long time that I was addicted to porn, but I never thought anything of it. In my teen years I figured it was only normal to fap endlessly and that eventually as I grow up the need and urge will subside, but it did not, I am currently 28 years old and I still have the same fap frequency as I did when I was younger.

It has become troublesome at work, I work for myself and we are never more than 2 people in the office, the days where I'm alone I get 0 work done and all I do is search the web on various sites for porn, to get my next high. I will literally sit at my desk all day and browse porn ( images, videos, paysites etc..)

I've easily spent close  to 2000$ on paysites in the last 2 years and have hid the bills from my wife.
I've gone to stripclubs while my wife was out of town and spent upwards of 300$.
I've rented porn on our television set and spent 20$ at a time.
I've paid for random girls' snapchat accounts to get their half naked pics each day.

I've done ALOT of bad things... but that changes today! Hear me reboot nation, you are the community I need to fight this urge and get over my addiction, alongside you I am confident I can overcome my issues and live a better life... so today is day 1...day 1 of my new life.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Thank you for the kind words, it's amazing how much relief can come from just writing this stuff down and getting off the chest. 8)
