I'm seeing progress Day 96

You are amazing and your post is inspirational. This is a proof that it is possible and I hope you will keep inspiring us trough posts like this one. Have an amazing day!

 

Hey @pissedoff! In fact, the reverse is true. It may seem counterintuitive but...

The longer you have been addicted to porn the less time it takes to heal!​

That fact is explained in the interview with Gary Wilson, the scientist who hosts the site http://www.yourbrainonporn.com/

It has to do with high-speed internet porn. Older guys, like us, did not have access to it when we were going through puberty and our brains were developing. Teenagers that are exposed to high-speed internet porn do untold damage to their brains and can take two to six times as long to recover. But our use of dirty magazines and videos was not that harmful.

 

Same here. First attempt as well.

LOL. I am going to hit 40 at the end of the month. Tell you what if you were some what aggressive when you were whacking off you are going to get more aggressive after not PMOing for months. Your tolerance for bullshit is going to be much lower and you are going to fight back. Also you have the tendency to walk away first especially with women. If it means making extreme changes to where you go and what you do you are not going to ponder. You are going to take action very quickly.

 

I find it inspiring, I also would like to know what have you done differently in order to achieve your goals this time

 

First attempt? You've down incredibly well, once you get that feeling of wanting to achieve and to overcome its a desire that can overcome the "crack" of PMO I think once we get a glimpse of the light on the other side of PMO PMO starts to fade always focus on the lighth.

 

This is very inspirational man I hope we all receive the strength to reach where you've reached brother. you're well on your way to the life you want. I will continue to follow your posts. Goodluck!!!

 

Congratulations

 

That's an interesting theory. Could be really the case. Maybe we older guys not only had no speed porn, we also had more true social interaction. And we were not monitored by our parents 24/7. Maybe.

But I's suire that the PMO addiction has its basic core in childhood trauma. Growing up in a dysfunctional or broken family, being abused and neglected as a child.

In that constellation, if you are living like in a prison, with constant fear, you begin to escape in a dream world. And porn is used like a drug.

Therefore, it is so tremendously important to connect yourself back to your inner core. To make peace with the world and yourself. Always when I am able to connect back to the core, then the PMO addiction vanishes.

 

Glad to hear your success ! The App is useful ? I will try it !

 

Very encouraging. I remember emotional agonies around day 40 on my first streak here with Nofap. I've got to prepare myself for pain for over twice as long, knowing that there's a bright horizon at the end of that night. Thanks for your experience, wisdom and for being an inspiration!

 

Very good news and very inspiring too.

 

Way to go brother. This really gives me hope that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Keep up the good work friend! Your progress is inspiring. I've made some too and it's awesome. I know we can win this battle. Never give up and keep on fighting no matter what!
