M27, been hooked since I was 11. 5-6 times a day and absolutely destroying my brain, confidence, relationships and def-worth. My life has definitely reached a tipping point and it’s time to quit. It’s taken over so much of my life, brought me so much shame and depression, halted all progress I’ve ever made with any woman and has made me do some disgusting things.

I want to be done. I want a better life. I finally went to the doctor and started new ADHD/Anxiety medication and I think I can really quit this time. Trauma and intense mental and emotional abuse as a child is what got me to this point, but I think im actually strong enough to move forward from it now. Obviously it’s only day 1 but I feel like I can do this. I threw away anything physical, deleted any accounts I had on any platforms relating to porn/jerking and I’m not looking back.

I’ve been checking out this sub for the past week and felt inspired. Thanks to everyone who posts here. I just wanted to post this to put this decision is writing and hold myself a bit more accountable. Any advice/support is appreciated!
