    How long did you notice a return to normalcy? I feel like the sudden burst of confidence is a placebo and I still feel very anxious about things I normally didn't before PMO.

    How many days in did you feel like you were "cured"

    I’m not sure I’ll ever be “cured.” I’ve burnt PMO deep into my brain, and I think it will always be something I keep my guard up against.

    On my longest streak of 110 days I felt bursts of normalcy interspersed with violent mood swings. I think, especially if like me you started using porn before puberty, it will take upwards of a year for people like us to fully recover.

    I strongly agree with what @Gorgewalker has said. An year of hard mode will be sufficient enough for us to be cured...provided we don't let our guard down after being cured...

    Cured is a subjective term here. I think what we can all agree on is that urges will be less the longer we abstain. At some point, they will be negligible.

    I still have PAWS
     
  7. To me, it's managing it, not curing it. But that can't stop us from trying!

  8. Why don’t u guys try meditation? It can speed up the rewiring process
     
  9. Oh, I've tried. I like it. I admit it is not something I do on daily basis. But it sure has its benefits.

    Well, I’m doing it, and suddenly, it feels like PMO is getting out of my brain, along with daily cold showers and fasting for 16 hours to help the process

    May I know how long have you been on nofaf? And was it an easy or hard mode?
