I’m doing this post because even though there are a lot of these reports, reading through all of them when I first started this journey gave me motivation, ideas, and knowledge of what I’d go through. I (32M) have finally hit 90 days of being porn free, after 5 years of trying, 2 years of […]

I reached 90 days today, on the day of my last exam this semester! I’m so happy I have been able to do this because I feel I have so much more control over myself, meaning that I feel less of a slave to my desires! Before, I masturbated or watched porn when i needed […]

This is my first post here but I’ve been lurking for a while. There isn’t really any meaning to this post other than wanting to share my small victory with people as I have kept my porn addiction to myself for many years. I have the standard story, started watching porn around 14 and have […]

So, I’m nearing 50 days now, and one thing that’s really stood out to me is how different I’ve felt for the last week or two. I’ve felt more engaged, more social, smaller things seem to make me happier. I’ve found myself reconnecting with friends who I’d neglected to interact with for so long. The […]

I can’t believe that I’m finally making this post but here it is! I started over a year ago in October at the start of University, in my first year, after I started struggling with PMO’ing and not being able to get hard by myself. I went online and found this subreddit along with NoFap […]
