Is it too late for me?

Everybody heals given enough time. So start now. I've given lots of advice in my posts so feel free to browse my profile's Recent Activity. Or write a description of your situation so we can give detailed advice.

 

Nah, not too late man, I PMO'd nearly 25 years. It's been a long process tho, but with time and with the right mindset you should be fine. You just have to realize that the way you used to live with PMO is not an option anymore, no matter how much you crave for it, it just isn't worth it. Fortunately as time goes by you will end up realizing that your new life without PMO will be far more rewarding than your old lifestyle. Keep it up and trust the process! Don't believe your own doubts, you have to remember that your own mind is the most powerful tool you have - learn to use it instead of it using you!

 

The brain is incredibly adaptive, don't underestimate it's power! Sure that length of time is going to take a while to reverse and will require persistence and discipline but it is absolutely possible. Don't accept defeat before you have even started as that makes it impossible to win, focus and visualise your life without PMO and find the motivation to succeed.

 

lol no... is it too late to NOT watch porn? how does that work?


stop making excuses and start being the person you want to be

 

You can still do it. Nothing is impossible. Trust me. You can do anything in life.

 

naw dude. I joined the weekly accountability group on this site. Best $40 a month i ever spent. There is a lot of people in their 60s or older who has struggled with PMO all their life and now want to live cleanly. No one is gone unless they give up and settle, everyone has a chance to change and strive for something better

 

I wonder if you might benefit from getting on some psych-meds such as antidepressants? You might feel more like tackling the PMO addiction if your psychological state is healthier.

I have similar problems and have been surprised to discover that how I perceive my life, my self-worth, etc. is mostly a function of brain chemistry. Until recently I had assumed that my perceptions are accurate and rational, but they actually change dramatically when my brain chemistry changes. I don't have my problems solved yet, but I know now that they are mostly chemical problems.

 

If you want to meditate nothing can stop you. Treat the construction as ambient background music or wear earplugs to soften the noise.

 

If you didn't develop any relation during this 20 years, maybe it is. Starting from 0 at age 35-40 is nearly impossible.
