Since about the age of 10 i've been watching porn and fapping. I've aways had a lot of social, self esteem and physical issues. From tireness and unability have a decent sleep to physical discomfort and embarassment of my body. I used to be so tired I couldn't even move without literally risking to collapse, nobody ever noticed it (hopefully). I didn't think that was an issue due to porn and masturbation though. Everybody has always said that it was normal and that masturbating (even multiple times a day) was fine, so I didn't think much about it. But one day i've found a video of a guy talking about NoFap on youtube and thanks to him I discovered the NoFap community on Reddit. Thanks to the subreddit I started gaining more information about compulsive masturbation. Something clicked, I understood I needed a radical change to my then self-destructing lifestyle. It took me a while start an actual healing journey since I couldn't even stay 3 days without relapsing. But last year's summer, for some reason, something changed. I've managed to stay without fapping a whole month and damn, that migh not sound much for a lot of people, but for me it was a lot! Just in one month I've started finding a motivation, a strength I've never had before. All my cognitive abilities improved drastically, including my ability to focus, physical coordination, exhibition capacity and mental health. Before I've even noticed, 3 months have passed without fapping. I've found the psychological strength to start going to the gym and actually taking care of my personal hygene. I have much more friends now and I feel much better both psychologically and physically overall Thanks to all the Nofap community, if it wasn't for you I would probably still be addicted and depressed. Love you <3
