    Hi
    Just a quick share to state that I’m an older addict ( mid fifties) whom has a professional workiing life, but always carried the secret of a nasty Pmb habit. Ok so I’ve just made 35 days with nothing: no prn, no edging , no mb, no viewing. Benefits: More confident, more loving personality, more real, more accepting, better focus, more energy, happier for no real reason, more self acceptance, improved mood. No I haven’t had woman falling at my feet , but have noticed more random smiles and also I’m far more confident in holding a conversation. Clean time has helped me view the habit as the sickness that it is. I have been very sick. The damage to my brain will take awhiLe to repair...but at least it has started. Downside? Just the stupid, problematic thoughts that intrude on my daily life....that’s the sickness trying to get back in...because my brain misses the dopamine hit. It’s just my brain that’s all..not some evil demon. I’m going to hold the course and see where the journey takes me. I’m leaving it to God to navigate, and letting go of the outcome. Oh, and mediation helps a lot..calms everything and is healthy self- intimacy. I’m frightened of relapsing....because the first week is always so awful.....just have to remind myself of that. Thanks for reading. Regards. J5

    That’s awesome. This gives me hope. I’m 31 but have been messing around with masturbation since I was very young when some teenage friends introduced my young self to porn. I never knew the damage it would cause me but now I’m older and so deep in it that know I must change my ways before it causes more anguish. It’s so hard to go a couple days without porn but I’ve made it a few days now and I plan on also hitting the 35 day mark soon. Best of luck to you. Keep it going.

    This is my 42nd day without internet pornography. 10th day with out masturbation ( last time was not to porn use). I ve lost a lot and am 39 years old.. but man to finally realise that pornography was the route of all my evils and finally be away from it is so uplifting. I have a lot of work ahead, but i hope to stay with it
     
  6. Well done, 35 days is a great start. Keep up the good work

    Fantastic. It’s difficult to even imagine doing 35 days to begin with!

    I fucking love this, you are owning it, no excuses. This is one of the realist posts I've ever read.

    Thanks for candidly sharing all the benefits that you have experienced. Semen retention for more than a month must have transformed you as a human being!
