All benefits lost? Prolonged relapse(s) years after quitting porn.

Hi,

my (33, male) story in a few points is:

• watched porn since my late teens til my late 20's pretty much daily and ended up with rather severe PIED
• then quit porn for 3.5 years, which gave me great erections again
• relapsed for 7 months
• rebooted for 1 month
• relapsed for 2 months
• rebooted for 3 months
• relapsed for 12 months up until today
• the plan is obviously to quit again

For those who have any questions regarding my 3.5 years of porn-abstinence, please feel free to do so!
Other than that I feel a bit discouraged at the moment, as my first reboot took quite long. I had a flatline for many months and, although I can't recall it specifically anymore, I guess it took about 2 years or so until everything was fine again.
With that being said, does anyone know if this is most likely what I will have to go through again? I was hoping that the there's still some benefit left of the initial 3.5 years of abstaining from porn. However, I assume that the prolonged relapses have opend up the old paths quite severly again.

I don't know. Maybe someone has some input or experience with a comparable situation.

 

@grffn it came more gradually, but it depends on your circumstances. Let's say at some later point during your reboot you engage with a partner, then this might actually serve as a boost and make it appear as if your libido came back abruptly. If you just wait for it to set in, it will appear more gradually.

@Ravefist 3-5 times a week is hard? I did that per day. Nevertheless, what do you mean by stop realapsing - I relapsed.
