    Heyy my dear fapstronouts. I'll try to make it short.
    The reason why I think you shouldn't count days is that because it puts preassure on you. You are focusing on a number of days, not on daily progress you make. Numbers matter 0%. Healing is individual process. Example: like 7 months ago i reached 91 day streak. I woke up with idea that I must be cured ( PIED) because i reached 91 days, that is usual number of days that damaged people like us need. Reality was that i could get hard easily without any sexual thoughts but i wasn't fully recovered. I guess you wonder how I knew that I wasn't fully recovored and my answer is Morning wood. That is best indicator of your progress. Before PIED my morning wood lasted for like 10-15 min and it was stiff like a rock, when PIED showed up it disappeared. After 91 day streak, i was experiencing MW every day for like 15 days but it wasn't soo hard and didn't last that long. So that's how i knew I needed more time.
    My advice to you is stop counting days because it puts a preassure on you to test yourself and relapse in the end. Morning wood is best indicator of your progress and never test yourself because we are committed to Nofap as a lifestyle not just to cure our PIED.
    Stay strong!

    MW I don't know if is the best indicator. After 30days of NOPMO I had strong MW almost daily for a week. Now, after 120day I have no MW. I have noctural erections but are pretty soft. And when I was sexual active...verry active I didn't had any MW. So...PIED is still here, even with magic pills.

    Personally i rarely experience MW after curing PIED. So i dont think mw is the best indication that your PIED is being fixed.

    What I've notice after reading many threads on this site is that MW is good indicator for some people and for some it isn't. For me it is good indicator because it was coming back gradually and my PIED was getting fixed gradually hand by hand. For example on that 91 day streak i had first MW on day 20 to day 23., after that on day 30, after that on day 45,than on day 60-64 and from day 76 i was experiencing MW every single day. But i guess if i hadn't relapsed and lasted for like 30-60 days more my MW would be back to 100% like it was before PIED and probably I could declare a win. In my case there is correlation between MW and PIED, but like I said healing is individual process.
