Age 22 – Staying sober is definitely crucial to staying off porn

I joined this website late 2018 as I really wanted to quit this addiction. However, shortly after joining NoFap I quickly forgot about it as I was deep into this addiction. I don’t want to go into too much detail but, let’s just say I was obsessed with P&M.

In January 2019, I quit alcohol as I thought that was the major issue behind my underlying mental health issues and my depressive teenage years, it played its part but I still felt shit inside and out.

In January 2020 I sought to quit P & M, I still O as I have a gf. It was going pretty well tbh, but, I seemed to have replaced P with looking at Instagram models, and after around 9 weeks of no P&M, I relapsed. Great.

This was around early March just before lockdown. I continued relapsing for 2 solid months, not attempting to get back on the horse and try to go again.

Then one Monday in late May, I would say I had a breakdown of some sort. The isolation of being stuck in my house all day every day due to COVID and watching stupid amounts of P really really got me.

From that day forward, I pledged to myself that this is it. I don’t want to be plagued by this horrendous addiction no more, I was 11 years old when i was first exposed to it, I’m now 22 going on 23 next week and I’ve had enough. No more.

So I’m delighted to write on here that I’m on Day 193 of no P&M. I feel great, most importantly for myself is that inside I feel at peace with myself, no internal war zone on a daily, I feel content and happy. I’m so happy I made the decision that day and I’m never going to look back.

I’m also 22 months sober from alcohol if anyone is interested, staying sober is definitely crucial to staying sober from PMO.

I’ll try to post on here regular to give all you strong people the courage and support you seek out to keep going, don’t give up, life is so much better on the other side!!

Any questions, fire away. I’m more than happy to share my thoughts.
