I am 22 and I have had a PMO addiction for 6 years now. It has ruined the last 5 years of my life. I only realised masturbation was the cause of all my problems after finding the
NoFap subreddit 2 months ago, I had bad social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and no motivation to do anything in life. I avoided any contact with my friends and family, all thanks to the amount of masturbation I did.
After reading that subreddit I decided to change my life, It took me 1 month of trying to give it up before I could go more than a day without masturbating and it still is hard now. Some days I wake up more depressed then I have ever been. But overall I have never felt this good for YEARS. I have now signed on at the Job centre to help me get a job, signed up at the Gym last week and have been going every day.
It is going to be hard(or not

) if I get a girlfriend. This is a good read
