Over 400 days. PIED cured.

You really made my day.
I jus woke up. Am sitting here 1 year no porn and 7 months of no pmo, contemplating if I will ever recover. As I kept watching porn for 9 more years after getting pied and pe at the age of 21½ . If I damaged my brain to a point of no return. No libido, no erections. It's scary as fuck at times to think if my virility is compromised forever.
Seems we both started nofap at the same time. But you seemed to have a clean streak. I kept fumbling, watched porn in May couple times and replaced. But that was it with porn. It's out of the picture. Then fumbled with masturbation once or twice a month until Oct for next five months despite having pied. Thinking about it, I jus can't understand why I even wanted to masturbate having no libido and healthy erections. The way brain can be habituated and addicted.

 

Thanks for your post, posts like this are very scarce.My hope is been renewed again

 

that is an inspiring success story. I remember a while back on some thread some guy said it takes 2 months for every year you been PMO for to fully recover which pretty much disillusioned me. Thank God for your story

 

I am at a stage where am ready even for this. 2 or 3 years of sacrifice is better than lifelong misery.

 

Congrats man! Were you dating during the recovery period? Did you have any orgasm with a girl during this time?

 

Thanks for the uplifting words bro. It sure does gives me motivation to keep trucking.
As I said, I am 7 months completely clean from porn and masturbation.
The first relapse was to porn in may. But never watched porn after that. It's been 372 days since I watched porn. And 217 days of no porn masturbation and orgasm.
But I should I have jus bite it and gone cold turkey. But it took few months to understand how my brain was rationalising or substituting the behaviours to get its hit.
But now it's one and done deal for me. Am jus gonna go till Dec of this year, which would mark 14 months PMO free. And then start dating and rewiring.
One question, when did you get pied bro?
I started pmo at 15 and acquired pied at 21.

 

@Diegomaradona10 check this thread. Similar to us.

 

You rock man! Truly a classic success story post. I wish we had more of these.

 

Well done OP.

How else did your life change in this time? ie. brain fog, memory, ambition, etc.?

 

Thank you for sharing your story! it's truly inspiring!
How long did it take you to recover a "normal" mood?

 

How often did you watch it before? Like three times a day or did you do long edging session?
Thank you

 

@Break every Chain - yes there are some triggers here which could have/should have been pointed out. BUT, most of the people on this forum are Porn or PMO addicts before they are sex addicts! Hence, the aspiration for many of us is to get back to a healthy, natural sex life, not a repetitive PMO life. The word idiot isn't a fair comment here, this post is inspiring in that there are times on the PMO / NoFap road where you wonder if things will really get better! And by better, I mean healthy libido, healthy sex life, no desire for PMO! The original poster seems to have achieved that. I hope the same for many of us with PMO addiction.

@Might_Stag_Beetle well done with your success bro! Long may it continue

 

Really motivated me as I was too started approx 20 years back and now struggling to recover.

 

Great uplifting story man, I'm happy to know that PIED can be cured within an year's timeframe for the most of us.
