    Day 34, been feeling a little under the weather today, just a cold. But have to be extra careful not to make myself "feel better" by PMOing because in reality that will only make me feel worse. Onward brothers

    Day 1 completed successfully

    1) done mediation in the morning so day 1 of meditation
    2) read 30% of matter in the below link which may be helpful to many

    https://nofap.com/porn-addiction/

    3) minor urges need to create some question to ask myself and to dig deep into myself to destroy the root cause

    beacuse I have went to newer heights in this filthy shit I started from vanilla to damn filthy L****** To A*** which is damn shit damn dirty and damn degrading I haven’t dreamed of I typed the dirtiest names, I typed the dirtiest things and I have seen the things that are I haven’t dreamed of

    because my behaviours regarding porn escalated from the first time I seen porn and almost it reached a stage where the women in the video is degraded, humiliated and abused etc etc I don’t feel any mercy towards it and I don’t know why my brain is unable to understand that they are subjected to degrading and abusive manners even if the women are been beaten I can’t even shed a tear and my brain say it’s just acting when it’s really going on there

    my mind has been turned into garbage of filth and I can’t even view women properly and I don’t know why yesterday I mastrubated and relapsed I don’t know what the heck is wrong in me

    but need to work it out

    anyone please having experience can share so I can learn from it and develop myself


    Thanks in advance

    Hey man! I have not fully recovered from my addiction but I quite recently discovered a youtube channel called "universal man" and it has helped me a lot. He has two series of videos called "the sexual self mastery series" and "porn free FAQs" where he tackles the topic of porn addiction recovery in depth. I really recommend you check him out since he offers a very logic point of view on this problem and he explains the steps to take in order to quit this unhealthy addiction.

    I hope this helps and I wish you get the answers you need.

    Day 26 down! Almost no urges today. Doing better. Forced myself to work out, absolutely worth it.
    Everything feels so surreal at the moment. Back then, whenever I was doing well, I also felt some kind of shadow, that something bad has to happen. It's gone, I just feel good.
    Tomorrow I will beat my longest streak so far. Can't wait...

    well, i have degradated myself into beastiality and scat so those are really fucked up contents. really disturbing in fact. but i was arouse by that. that´s the truth. it´s normal to feel like that bro, it´s the very nature of addiction to escalade to more intense estimulations. but that´s not normal bro, it´s just your brain craving for something more. so don´t beat yourself down because of it. you´re not like that, nobody is.

    Let´s go!!!

    very good bro. just remember: when you start feeling good that doesn´t mean you can slack your defenses. you may be stronger in the outside but against pmo you´re still very fragile. always keep your defenses up brother and your discipline, no matter what day you´re in.

    trust me: when you feel confident against pmo = your gonna lower your defenses = relapse.

    be smarter than the addiction brother. always stay humble, always stay alert.

    88 days my brothers

    here´s a great excerpt from "rebooting as the best remedy". have a nice day.

    "For the brothers that repeatedly relapse, if you are familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine you will notice that there is a pattern to the relapses. The pattern of the relapse and the “value of kidney qi” is intricately interconnected. When you feel that your body is weak you will instinctively want to reboot. Once you have been rebooting for a while and kidney qi will have started to recover somewhat, this is when it’s very easy to relapse. In the beginning of the reboot, we will experience a period of flatlining with regards to our desires, many people during this stage do not experience strong cravings and are able to control themselves. But during the flatlining period, it’s very easy to let our guard down and think that we have succeeded, in reality, our desires are only temporarily in dormant. Once our kidney qi has recovered to a certain degree that is when the desires are awakened. During this stage the relapse is often accompanied by vigorous masturbation, all our previous efforts have gone down the drain. The period of flatline varies from person to person, for some people that period is 3 days, for others, it can be 20 days or 60 days. According to my understanding, the average duration of the flatline period is around 3 weeks or 21 days. Following the flatlining period is the peak period for relapses after the relapse is the period of regret, the feeling of doubt and regret will be quite strong at this stage.

    The purpose of this article is to let everyone become aware of the flatline period. During this period we need to increase our alertness and maintain our vigilance, we must not slack in our rebooting studies. Only through the unceasing study of rebooting material can we increase our understanding and our level of determination. The level of determination is comparable to when we grind for levels in an internet game, in the beginning, our level is low and succumbs to the temptations of the heart, once we have continuously studied rebooting material and our level of determination have risen, the heart can no longer tempt us. If you don’t study rebooting knowledge, no understanding will take place, the level of determination will forever remain at a low level. And when we encounter a temptation the result is obvious; every encounter will result in failure, when we see x-rated material we will not have any determination, once we see it our heart begins to flutter and we click on the material, without immunity and resistance we are finished.

    [Vow to reboot] -> [flatline period] -> [kidney qi recovers somewhat] -> [peak period for relapse] -> [period for regret]

    This is the process of relapse, also known as the vicious circle. Many people cannot escape from this circle for years or even decades. Once I was stuck in this vicious circle for well over a decade because at the time I didn’t reach understanding, I didn’t study rebooting material nor was I aware of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I only knew the brute force way and the blind way. With regards to the brute force way, I thought that I will be able to quit masturbation by relying on willpower. In reality, the brute force way will surely result in failure because we have not raised our state of awareness. The blind way is trying to reboot without the knowledge of rebooting, the blind way will also surely fail for the same reason."
