The Scary Side of NoFap Streaks

Back in my porn addiction days, I'd go on streak after streak. At times, I even felt like I was making progress as I occasionally went on a longer streak. But, without me realising it, my life was getting worse. I was falling behind in many areas of life. Parts of my apartment broke and I thought to myself "I will fix that one day". I started to objectify women more and thought to myself "it's fine, I will stop one day."
I began to binge eat from time to time and would tell myself "it's not that bad, I'm not fat."
My self-esteem slowly started to crumble away and I was left accepting shit into my life which is completely unacceptable to me now. I surrounded myself with friends who also had their own addictions and sank deeper into the comfort of excuses and lies, rather than facing the true reality of my life and mind.
The NoFap streaks provided me with an illusion of progress which led to the addicted part of the mind (APOTM) denying the reality of addiction.
There is a way out of all of this. It begins with facing the reality of what is really going on for you. Take the compulsion test to receive a score out of 100. The higher the score, the more this problem is currently impacting you.
