I need to change

Hello NoFap,

I am a 26y old male, and today I have decided I need to take a grip of my life and change the way it is going right now.

About me, I have been masturbating since I was a kid, I didn't even knew how it was called at that time. I have tried multiple times to quit, but failed. Most of the times I told to myself that it will be ok, if I really need to, I can stop, but that is not the case. Last time I seriously said I will stop, it lasted for 2 weeks. Since then I have tried a few more times, but never lasted more than 2-3 days.

I feel like masturbation kept me down for the last 10-15 years. Because of it I lost a very big number of chances to improve myself, to make new friends, to go out more.

I never had a serious relationship with a girl, although I had my fair number of chances during high school and college, but I always hesitated. Lately I find it incredibly hard to even start a conversation with a girl.

Although I am 26, I don't feel like it. I can't say I realized much until now, except that I finished college, and that I have a job. But I need that to change, I want more from life, and that is why one of steps to accomplish this was to come to this community and seek advice from people who went through the same problems.

Thank you for reading, Good luck!
