First of all i would like to apologise about my english. At the end of 2016 is when i heard about nofap and started learning about masturbation and porn addiction, did many streaks 2montha, 3months, 6 months and so on but i have never been able to cut it once and for all.. 15years of porn damage coudnt be reversed in a matter of months as the habit is screwed deep in my mind. Those last 5 years have been hell for me, experiencing all the symptoms and still experiencing them since the beginning of the reboot 4 months ago: Extreme social anxiety Depression Neurasthenia Neurosis General anxiety disorder Cervical spondylosis Lumbar spondylosis Wet dreams Scalp dermatitis Irritability Tremor Dizziness Hypocondria Autonomic disorder Anhedonia Shortness of breath Rhinitis Back,face,chest/ acne Knees,muscles,joints/ pain Waist,back,shoulder,neck/ pain I would like to uege all the younher generation to be aware of this addiction and to eliminate it as soon as they found out about it. Also if tyere is anyone in the forum that can relate to it or has been dealing with same symptoms.. any advice, information would be appreciated
Hi @Allsymptoms, all the best to you! If you want to join 'The Matrix' challenge click here ---> 'The Matrix' <---
Advice: Do not relapse under paws. If you do, do not binge. Stay away from huge stimulus that will slow down your recovery. If you really having paws, it's just a waiting game. Time will be your best bet. This process may not be linear. Plenty of bumps along the road..... ***Almost 3 years with PAWS here without counting the ACUTE WITHDRAWALS***
Thanks guys!! Unfortunately i have been reading uour stories for many years @Freeddom_Taker thanks for the tip. Just a few questios to you if you dont mind. Your paws persisted since the beginning of yiur journey 3 years ago? You still dealing with them? How do you feel these days ?
First 2 years of trials and errors after found nofap. Then I started getting serious due to severe ACUTE WITHDRAWALS. Keep in mind, I have short of euphoria also I keep return to pmo after some good streaks. Now I'm 3 years with PAWS and a 16mo hardmode. In short, I think I was kindling a lot and a few binges which slow down my recovery.
I still have paws and I'm recovering very slow at the moment. My journey started 5 years ago but paws started after 2 years of trials and errors with symptoms as well.
I found it weird un the beginning, i thiught this guy is three years off pmo and he didnt see a sign of healing. Then i read again your post and understood that you have many relapses in between.. Brotyer you should be firm in you decision abouy quittinh porn and masturbation, I know its difficut because i myself in the same journey.. but we have to armor our minds with determination, perseverance and faith to get out from the strange circle. Otherwise i can let you imagine what we will become... Do you educate yourself a little about this addiciton? If so share with me what you read or what are yoy researches about it if you dont mind
If there is anyone here that did nofaf in hardmode throughout his journey, without breaking his streaks should please tell us how long it took him to heal completely from PAWS? Because this PAWS issues is scaring me. I'm just 70 days into the journey in hardmode and it seems I was heated by paws since around day 52..... and life hasn't been easy for me since then.
