    it's fucking crazy this situation isn't it bro? our whole world turns upside down
    we thought this shit was something harmless but it turned out to be one of the most destructive habits to a man's life

    well, I can speak for myself, the most destructive habit I've ever practiced without a doubt
    it's insane how this changes your mind
    and the recovery might be an arduous and long path
     
  6. I used to enjoy or do certain things such movies, videos music or sports. Now all of them are a burden to do. I thought I would go about my life once completed 60 to 90 days.Wrong fam.

    three years goes beyond what is acute to what is now chronic. I would go to a doctor and see what else it could be, or at least get screened to make sure something else isn't going on.

    As an anecdote, I got a text from my cousin on the 23rd saying hi, but also telling me was hungover AF from drinking. Yesterday I got a text from him saying that it wasn't a hangover, but he actually has the flu which is persisting. Obviously that's just an anecdote (and with drinking I know), but my point is; the symptoms which are commonly associated with PAWS might actually -and could easily- be caused by something else too.

    My recommendation is go see a doctor just to be safe.

    So you're 40 days into recovery? If so you'll be +4 months in abstention before the wedding. That's great as from my own experiences first 3-4 months are the worst. I'd advice you to try living spartan like life for the next three months and you should do just fine when the wedding comes. By spartan I mean:
    0) abstain from masturbation/sex/porn (hard mode basically)
    1) try sleeping 7-9 hours a day (preferably between 11pm and 2am)
    2) go out (in nature if possible) for a walk/run/cycling for at least an hour every day (adding 3 weightlifting days a week would be a bonus but not it's not mandatory)
    3) start practicing Wim Hof breathing + cold showers on daily basis
    4) start eating healthy (no processed food or added sugar), drink 2-3L of fresh water a day, take Omega 3 (=fish oil), vitamin B complex, Zn, Ca (milk), K (bananas), Mg supplements

    There's a good chance you'll feel OK by the time your wedding comes if you manage to incorporate these 5 points into your daily routine. It looks easy, but it's not.

  11. Base on stories from other rebooters, yes we can heal. Reboot length varies from severity, intensity, escalation,age, length of your addiction.

    bro.. during the first 2 years everything I would do was a burden and painful, even taking a shower, I had no physical stamina, weak physically and mentally
    nowadays I can walk for an hour without getting tired, without hurting my heels, doing things feels more "neutral" whereas before was painful, tiresome

    you feel like you're frozen
    kinda hard to explain, but that's what a flatline feels like

    I'm also numbed emotionally and have no libido or sexual thoughts, zero sex drive
    it's insane and I want it back cause sexual energy is the basis for any creative endeavor, all successful people in this world were highly sexual (Read think and grow rich by napoleon hill)
    we were dumb and wasted our precious sexual energy by jerking off to pixels on a screen not knowing any better
    sexual transmutation is the key word
    I went as far as learning some sex magick
    it's so much bigger than just physical pleasure it's insane! our sexuality influences everything, even spiritually
     
  19. I tried to explain the symptoms to doctors but they couldn't understand.
