It's been 4-5 months since I found this forum and stopped pm. This is what I've learned: - it was a struggle at first, but this forum was a huge help. Whenever I would get the urge to go look at some P, I would force myself to look at this forum first. That was enough to get me off the edge. - I used to always initiate with my wife and most times her interest was questionable. I used pm as an excuse "she isn't interested so I need to take care of myself." I decided I would not initiate, and just wait for her to. After two weeks it worked and since then she has consistently made advances like never before. There is some kind of scent or something being given off. - sex was tough when I stopped pm because I couldn't hold out longer than a minute, having been desensitized from p and m. It made me question if I should continue long term because I felt bad about my performance. But a few months in, it gets super hard and I can last as long as prior to stopping. There may be a dip in performance but then it will only go up. - my anxiety has been reduced greatly and I feel more confident. New opportunities to mature are opening up, and I am mid thirties. - I do get urges still and they can be strong. Like today! That is why I logged in and read a few posts. They are fewer and further between but I still need some help now and then.
Really Nice Stuff dude I just begin yesterday and I definitly use this forum to leave PM thnaks for the tips
Hey TeamFH, Hang in there brother! I started almost 14 days ago and haven't really missed PMO. Sure the urges pop up every now and then but I, like many, come here and read about the support that's ncessary to overcome any addiction. My goal is to remain PMO free and to re-establish an intimate relationship with my wife. I'm no expert at recovery but I know what 14 days feels like and I love it. God Bless!
Well done, keep it up! Could you tell us how long you have been using porn and MOing before you stopped? I keep looking to find success stories from people who are in the same position as I was.
I could have written this same statement myself, word for word back when I was trying nofap a year or so ago. Unfortunately I just fell off the wagon somewhere along the way and now things are in a rut again. I'm hoping to see the same results on my new journey. Thanks for the motivational post!
