    Past 40 days and going strong: keeping busy with excersize, work, reading and looking forward to getting into the garden soon for spring clean up. And then camping! I’ve also bought a bike and am riding 10km daily and more on the weekends, thoroughly enjoying that too. So life is good, going for the 90 days then hopefully get back into normality with my good wife.

    Dude, that's so encouraging to hear. I just hit 7 days for the first time in... Well, a very long time. It's felt like torture but then out of nowhere I realized that I just gained back 1 week's worth of my own dignity.

    Also, reading your post made me wonder, "why the hell has my bike just been sitting storage for the last year?" Yeah that's gonna change.

  5. Those are really great activities you are doing there! :)
    That's how it's done, we are not only here to stop the addiction but also to create new healthy and good habits.
    Keep it up!

    It’s great to share and encourage each other, before you know it you’ll be hitting another week and then 40 days too. Get that bike out and ride!

    Fantastic, very happy for your progress. I myself get problems at the 6-7 day mark. It's like the urges start leaping their way out of the ground. Probably due to that testosterone spike. I need to follow through and stay out of the house those days.

    I may plan those days out, go for a long hike or something. Thanks, nice work on 41 Days. I want to be you! Managed to get 6 weeks a few years back.

    Wow, no O at all? I had sex once with my wife (she is pregnant and really off sex - I’m not going to refuse when she is frisky once every 6 weeks :)).

    I can probably rant about whether or not to have sex with your wife, but I shouldn’t because it’s going be someone else’s opinion. From my one time experience, it felt like she was the only source of sexual pleasure for me. That made it all feel super special. I think that’s ultimately the goal - to have a long term sexual partner and that’s it.


    Other than that, I’m 40 days in as well. I’m icing by balls like there’s no tomorrow! Exercise helps but I don’t have every day for it... maybe daily biking to work in the summer will do the trick?

    Oh I would love to be sharing intimacy with my wife however part of her supporting me (and understandably so) is waiting for me to complete my "reset" of 90 days total abstinence at which time I hope to declare myself ready to start the relationship again. And boy oh boy I am looking forward to that day when life can start getting back to normal!

    That makes a lot of sense. You probably don’t want to make her into an object of your unhealthy drives. Keep me posted on how the life returns to a new normal in just 50 days! This will be a very useful piece of info!

    It’s amazing she is on board. I had no heart to tell my wife about my current attempt of no PM. We talked about this throughout the years at various points, but i always walked away with a sense that she felt it was my disgusting (?) issue and I can fare with it as I see fit. I even did group counselling for porn users and she knew about it but didn’t want to get into the issue. she has physical problems with intercourse and it obviously had an impact on this too. She probably feels guilty that she pushed me into addiction, which is of course not the case.

    We have been together for many years and that’s just how we roll. Maybe this “reset” will give me courage to heal our intimate life too. We are otherwise great friends and great parents (or at least we work super well as a team). I love her to bits.

    Sounds like a similar situation to me: been married for 30 years, great independent kids, all areas of life good except for my problem, which became my wife's problem too. She is also hurting badly and will take time to heal, especially due to the fact that I had given up P a couple of years ago however found PSUB's in the way of Facebook, Instagram and other "cleaner" but provocative images. So its the MO that I had been struggling with, and previously had failed due to not giving it up. I am hoping that this time it will be final! If you love each other, anything is possible!
