hey bro I think its totally up to you and your specific goals. What is your reasons for wanting to reboot? I think its a perfect personal choice, if you want to rest your entire dopamine system then prob would want to follow the book and abstain but if you want to have some measure of control in place so you don't waste too much time and energy and you dont want to miss out on fun time with you partner then you'll be fine. Either way I would ask your own intuition on what feels most true for you and try it and see how it works Alternatively I personally would not really want to mess around on webcam, I would communicate to my partner my desires for a healthy sex life and I would use this time to motivate me to make more money and fly to her and see her and have a REAL sex
hey brother I appreciate your level of self-reflection and self-honesty. I just wanted to share, I love the idea of saying hi to people! I used to have the discipline to say hi to 3 girls per day which i really liked may be I pick it up again However, I personally really like to keep headphones on and have a blasting workout and as I see people walking by I can still say hi to them using my eyes and posture, or briefly take headphones off and say hi and boom back to the workout. I find that this keeps my workouts focused and Lazer and usually before/after a workout can always say hi to people.
Hey Dasher. Not sure if this is what you're already using, but I have been using this (entirely free) for about 7 years now. It is amazing. There are six other programs as well, including sit-ups, pull-ups, lunges, squats, etc. https://hundredpushups.com/ Take a look.
Yes good advice. Trusting my intuition has always been he best for me. Seems like the only times I get in trouble in life is when I ignore my positive little voice. I will wait it out. Goal is to get clean and not have PIED when in person so best to wait.
Sounds good - also the long-distance relationships are a great opportunity to go deeper into getting to know someone - It can be very helpful without the strong sexual sensations of touch one can actually get to know another in a deeper way so enjoy the connection and developing intimacy.
I made it through the weekend. Saturday night I stayed up late and played Shenmue. Got frustrated with some of the waiting in the game and I responded by fantasy which my brain had to fight. I decided to go to bed early, read on this forum and woke up Sunday feeling much better.
I have read the rules and would like to join this group. I want to join a group, never done it so far, might be helpful for to share. i am 37 years of age

Glad to read it! The Bible is amazing... "For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Have a good day!
I get the impression that you could escape just in time from the thoughts that trigger PM, you reached a dangerous limit but you did it... Congrats @ANewFocus !
