What was the moment when you realized that you have to quit masturbation?

When I started having physical symptoms (weakness, lower back pain, weak joints, thinning of hair, losing muscle) I realized this, I believe 3 years ago and was able to manage or let’s say control myself to some extent. I had designated time for PMO, however it kept getting worse and its so bad now that every time I have some free time I look for porn, I mean don’t masturbate all the time just browse vids, pics etc. I have been failing from so long and I keep telling myself that Next time I will be stronger but I fall into the same trap of my own brain. It gets so bad that when I resist, In order to focus I have to do PMO or else my brain just keep repeating those thoughts. That’s why I joined this NoFap to get some motivation and quit PMO.
