Congratulations for your satisfaction and happy life bro.
I read all your thread and compared my situation with yours, and thought your success story can be a big motivaion for me. Tho I dont weigh that much, just 70. And i am 6ft and skinny (below normal i think so).

I start nofap about the end of october. And today i am on my 25th day going strong targetting 90days as yet.

Guide me on my problem, as i am progressing so good mentally so far, no urges for Either of PM or O. But my physical state of my penis makes me worried. As i feel it had got smaller. And i dont get any erections at all, not even the morning wood. Its lifeless and i am doubtfull that if it will get erected or not, but i m not taking chances of a try as no urges at all.
Am i progressing positively or is it a moment to worry?

Yes this penis shrivelling and shrinking is fairly common, and I think you're right not to take a chance at "trying it", because it could cause a physical urge that *might* get past the mental control that you managed to exert until then. (Good job on those 25 days btw!). Also, you will have the nightly and morning wood slowly come back, don't worry about it. I know it's "one more thing" that raises your anxiety. Maybe you can try and see it as yet another way to get to play with your penis that your mind is trying to force on you? (It might not be the case, but maybe that thought can help you gain confident control over it, and just let it run its course without bothering you too much.)

I suppose you're also feeling a bit greyed out, with the sensation that nothing around you is either exciting or boring?

U got me right... nothing exciting happening. And yes no issue with my streak coz of flatline... hopefully it will be back to normal. And thanks for such motivational words bro.

Started rebooting/NoFap around the end of February, had multiple mini relapses early on and several more serious relapses half way through (never O'd once though apart from wet dreams). A bit of background ; Started "masturbating" from an early age, then started having sex from age 17-19. Had my first orgasm from masturbation at age 19 and began my descent into porn addiction from that point on. Started off with masturbating to thoughts of my ex gf, then more sick fantasies then full blown pornography. It became a serious addiction where I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'd be sitting there trying to enjoy a hobby or watch TV and my mind would constantly wonder to porn. Eventually my fetishes got more extreme and I myself became more depraved. I stopped caring after a while and started living like a complete slob shut away in my bed room 24/7. Addicted to weed and video games and eventually had an alcohol problem. I'd fap every day and edge for hours. I finally made the choice to quit porn when I realised how serious my problem was 6 years later and I met a girl online and made the big choice to change my life.

5-6 months later I'm no longer addicted to weed, rarely ever drink (if I do its lightly) and not socially isolated and shut in. I went from 118kgs in weight to 78kgs at 6'2.

I could write a lot more but I'll just leave it at that I was in the darkest of holes and truly was addicted. I sincerely believed I'd never get past this and now here I am.
I know the pain of doubt and fear when you're just starting a reboot, so to all the new people and people still struggling, feel free to ask me questions.

Congrats on your success but we must never let our guard down. This is a highly insidious addiction that can resurface when you least expect. Keep fighting and doing the right thing.

First of all, Im a clean and sober addict of 2 years and 8 months. I too like you drank and smoked plus I did cocaine, heroine, molly, well its not a pretty picture. I went through rehab and learned alot of valuable information and your threads title is wrong (from my experience). I posted this just minutes ago in another thread
"The addiction will always reside in you as long as you live. There is no "cure" there is ONLY CONTROL. Ok, heres a better example, lets say you enjoy riding a bike. You get the rush of going fast etc etc. One day you decide to stop riding that bike for years. Then one day you decide to ride a bike again. What happens? You get some of those feelings you had when you begin to ride that bike again right. The same is with any addiction. Dont let this realization bring you down. Only be aware that you can control it. Your brain will try to convince you to get back into your old habits. Dont let it (easier said than done right)."
I dont want to be the bearer of bad news but I adopted that mindframe I learned in rehab and I have been clean ever since. I also applied that mindframe to my PMO addiction and it was still hard but I got it and now I have some significant control over it. This has been my experience. I also learned in rehab to "keep and open mind."

Wow you started porn late in the game haha. I am addicted to PMO and I do isolate myself like a slob. I want to start living again. Is 90 days enough to feel good again or at least somewhat better? Thanks. Congrats!

Your problem with erection while standing up, do you think pelvic floor exercises actually helped it or just abstaining from PMO cured it?

Yeah I've always been late to everything in life lol, I think that's why I always end up going overboard, to compensate for lost time. In all seriousness though, for me 60-70 was when the benefits started becoming noticeable, 80 days and onward you'll be feeling it for sure. If I'm being honest though, you should never go back to porn and even consider never fapping again...or at least very rarely.

i think for a lot of guys pelvic for issues are part of the larger picture but it's mostly due to PIED. i noticed that i could never sustain an erection standing up (unless it was morning wood) on my own but soon as I was with a real girl my dick would stand up all on its own. My pants could barely contain it when I was with my gf and grinding myself on her ass lmao.

p.s. i did have pelvic floor issues...the floor was very tight and "pulled up" all the time, i never had it relaxed. reverse kegals corrected this but you can go overboard with reverse kegals...so doing regular kegals to balance it out may be needed at some point. That's where im at now cus in the last months my dick has been weak at the base (despite erection) but soon as I started doing kegals again its become tight like before.

Tough one, because I felt very hopeless for at least 70-80% of the reboot. I felt most helpless when I went into flatline and depression in the first few months and lost my morning erections. I had a lot of paranoia and even ended up thinking I had physically damaged myself or suffered from venous leak. Nope, turns out it was all PIED, even my issues with maintaining an erection whilst standing up are almost completely cured (I did have a tight pelvic floor though and worked on that). I did get brain fog but not as badly as I suffered from paranoia, depression and serious suicidal thoughts. I was making concrete plans to end my life at one stage.

Thank you.

Never had urges through out most of my reboot. My relapses were motivated by 'dick fear' and doing 'checks'. Only recently I had a relapse (orgasm'd) because I genuinely lost control. I know I must be cured because I could get hard only 10-15 minutes later and I've been getting erections all day just from thoughts alone or looking at a picture of my (ldr)gf.

My advice though to people dealing with urges is that you immediately distract yourself and go do something else and if you're still struggling take pause, inhale deeply and remind yourself why you're doing this. 5-10 minutes of pleasure isn't worth a life time of being lonely and missing out on real sexual relationships. And if having a partner or having sex doesn't motivate you, recall the fact that PIED can mess with your mental health in other ways. I was angry, paranoid and depressed for years but months into my reboot my whole perspective on life completely changed.

Yes I've definitely noticed this. Maybe it's because I've lost lots of weight or because I'm projecting more confidence (making face to face/eye contact is a hell of a lot easier for me now but still difficult because I have an ASD). But I really believe I'm more attractive now than I was before and noticed all my interactions with women are much more positive.

Thank you. I started seriously focusing on diet change and weight loss around mid to late March. I did nothing special at all honestly. Just using my exercise bike 30-60 minutes a day and reading the labels on the back of food packaging. I avoid anything high in cards and sugar. I know avoiding carbs can be hard but I try my best to limit it as much as possible.
