I'm a 21-year-old guy. I have been using porn from the age of 13. I came to know about NoFap in 2017 and until then I never realized that porn took such a big toll on me. I was miserable, I looked like a drug addict with acne all over my face, I was fat and hopeless. I didn't have any interest in girls. I never thought I would be able to stay off porn for a month. my longest streak was 11 days and those 11 days were a battle with myself. in January I met a girl and for the first time in my whole life, I felt attracted to a girl. but I was still that same miserable, drug addict looking, guy. so, I decided to change things, change myself. I quit porn, started exercising and eating healthy food. every single day I have been taking steps to talk to that girl, at first I didn't have the courage and felt that I would get rejected but now I feel confident. yesterday, I went out with my friends and one of the girls told my friend that I looked good and asked him to introduce me to her. I was shocked because something like this has never happened in my life. the last month was fantastic. my mind used to be foggy all the time, now I have a clearer mind. I have noticed better response to stimuli. I used to hate waking up in the mornings, I used to go to sleep whenever I was home because I had nothing else to do, now I feel very active and have been spending more time on my passion and studies. my acne has started disappearing and I have a fairer and glowing skin now, my hair is thicker. I feel like a human being for the first time and this feeling is amazing. today, I love myself more than anyone, I realize my self-worth and I'm grateful to this community. thank you, everyone, for the motivation.
