Fantastic job man! This is a very inspiring story. It gave me the motivation boost I needed. Plus, it feels good to see another muslim Fapstronaut. Again congratulations brother!
Took me the same amount of time to recover from PIED, 8 months. Now, the rest of the benefits seem to be starting to show their face since the PIED is mostly out of the way. Glad to hear you've cured yourself.
I am still waiting for rest of the benefits to come esp recovery from PAWS. Did you relapse after 8 months? Your badge says 34 days. Also, did you go through long withdrawals?
I tried going hardmode like you Winningover and made it to 70 days hardmode and I thought my pied was cured but then one orgasm sent me back into the flatline. Did u ever feel this when rebooting??
This is what's preventing me from slipping. I have gone through this scenario too many times to understand the consequences of what I'm about to do. Thank you for taking the time to write it all down. Wish you the best in your marriage and life. God bless you brother.
What to say bro but congratulations and thank you! Your story is a light at the end of a long tunnel when there is no other light for us long rebooters. Our situations are quite similar, main difference Im older. Im 7 months porn free, flatlining for the past 70 days and 30 days in hardmode. Lately I started dreaming again, which was not the case during PMO days. Read somewhere that is a good sign. What was your experience with dreams? Did you also regain dreams during reboot and if yes at what stage? God bless!
My all time favorite post. Happy to know there is an end to this crap. I want to get rid of PMO and all its consequences. I am on my first week and thanks to your message I know what is waiting for me. You gave me a great inspiration to quit and I will keep on the fight. Thanks again.
Tank you for sharing your story with us and motivating us to keep going.Im glad you made it and came here to help us do the same,keep it up my friend and thank you for saving me from relapsing today!
My reboot was not hard mode. I am doing hard mode now to cure PAWS. So this wasn't my case but many ppl have reported here that they start flatlining or things get worse after orgasm. 70 days is not long enough to start having orgasms. And how did you have orgasm? Did you masturbate? I don't remember much about my dreams tbh. A suggestion that I would like to give you though from what you wrote. Start hardmode asap. Keep the hardmode streak to speed up the process. Stop all orgasms. A mistake which I did was not to do hardmode from the beginning. Also, don't lose hope if it takes longer. As we get closer to success, we lose the initial steam that we had so its very important to keep marching on. Some take 1 year, some 18 months and so on. Varies due to many factors. But don't lose hope in the process.
i mean loss of attraction to your wife, im hoping that is a symptom and not just genuine for my girlfriend
Nope Yes, its normal and bound to happen when you hit flatline. Even the risk of relapse is reduced significantly when you hit flatline.
Yes, many people here have HOCD because of porn. The science behind it is very simple. When you orgasm while watching porn which obviously include male nudity as well, you develop HOCD. Neurons that fire together wire together. Your brain has associated pleasure, orgasm and sexuality with same gender because of porn and only thing that you can do to recover is abstain from porn for life. There are many ppl here on this forum who overcame HOCD after leaving porn. It may take upto 2 years to recover completely from it.
it seems so real though, its so convincing and making me think that i am actually gay and dont love my girlfriend
Thanks for sharing your story. I am not much into porn but been masturbating regularly on a weekly basis for the last 13 years. I decided to go hardmode two months ago but after 60 days, I no longer feel any attraction towards women and no erections at all. Could this be a sign of flatline. And do you think supplements can assist in this journey especially Ashwagadha. Some one recommended to me once in this forum. Thanks Sotomayor
Did you have many wet dreams? When did you release you were cured? I'm struggling to get an erection even alone these days.
