its been 35 days without porn and I've never felt better, besides when I allow myself to sit in my safe or "porn space" which I never do now to be fair. However I have M twice and with a 15 day gap between both of them without much trouble. Still I feel like this is succumbing to my baser urges, and while I don't feel downheartened because before I couldn't even get an erection without porn I want to boost my progress. Any tips for this? Also I've been having the most vivid and frankly desperate dreams, nothing illegal obviously but some of the stuff is something I wouldn't usually think about in my wildest dreams)
Hey Tom, it's been a while since I have talked to you. I'm on day 30 something also but I feel terrible. When I get urges, I distract myself as quickly as possible. Video games, walk my dog, work out, go fight, etc. I believe you could boost your progress by doing more physical activities. That worked for me.
Hi Comets, Congrats on getting to day 30. I also feel terrible and agree with you on that point; today I haven't even left my bed and had to get drunk to get here in the first place. Definitely will be doing so tomorrow!
Hey In my opinion M without P is somehow different. It's not as damaging as PM because most of the time people who often M without P don't let it affect their lives, because it's surely not that addictive. That said, if a person is/was PM addicted in the past, doing M without P it's in a way a relapse because your brain isn't rebooted yet. What I mean is that sooner or later you'll get back into P with M, when you run out of stimulus to M without P. That's very risky in my opinion. Anyway , I think there's nothing wrong with M without P, unless it becomes addictive and pathological to someone's life.
Thanks guys I will do this. To be honest right now I have no energy or attraction to anyone because of M even without. I want to get to day 90 but 30 first will be great. Comets, I agree it's a completely different experience; my anxiety attacks have become few and far between, but I would like to give up all together.
