i have not been to nofap.com for weeks. I'm now 101 with no PMO. Although the last few weeks i've been calling at one of those sex phone services (without MO) and looking at pictures in Instagram. These two activities have slowed my recovery (i think) from my PIED. After 101 days I get morning wood about twice a week (versus never for years until i started nofap). My erections are about 1.5 inches smaller than before (which is not great because there weren't that many inches in the first place), also no where near as hard as they use to. But at least i'm getting morning wood again which is a clear sign of progress. I used PMO as a stress release for work over the past 7 or 8 years (2 or 3 times a day). The hardest part is dealing with the stress from work. I have a super healthy life style (whole food plant based diet, lots of exercise, including yoga twice a week), my BMI is excellent, my blood work is better than what's considered healthy. I'm reading more books than I have ever before. So what's the issue? The issue is that I have run out of things to improve in my life. I guess patience is the key word. It's being 101 and i'm not cured from my PIED, i think this is going to take a year or two. Shit! this is hard. Also i feel like most guys go in nofap.com and the moment they are cured, really cured, then they just don't go back to nofap.com. Which creates the illusion that no one gets cured. I went through a similar issue with my phimosis. I thought the exercises would not work and i would end up having to have surgery. The forums were filled with people going through the same problem, but not many saying they got cured. After a few months of stretching exercises my phimosis was cured (I wish i knew about this when I was a teenager). Now when I think back on it, I never bothered to go back to the forums and tell the other guys that phimosis can be cured without surgery (at least when it is not too extreme) and that the doctors are full of shit in most cases (just like when it comes to PIED and their complete lack of knowledge on the subject). Anyway, i have completely cut the phone sex and i'm not looking at Instagram. Two days now completely clean. I think this is going to work, patience, patience, and patience. Thank you brothers for being here for me. Sorry for the long post. God bless you all (yes, that was sarcasm).... and you know what, i don't crave PMO anymore, I just want my PEID cured, but the PMO addiction is cured.
