    I'm rebooting because using porn for years gave me erectile dysfunction and killed my sex drive.

    I want my dick back and I want my sex drive back.

    How about you?

    yeah same as you, I have no motivation or drive to do fucking anything cause porn destoryed the reward center of my brain. Currently 108 days on hard mode and been in a flatline for the full 90 days. I have been noticing stronger erections in the morning recently though, still no fucking sex drive which is depressing. To be honest though I could give a less shit about sex, I just want my sexual energy back because that's what pushes people to hustle man, I miss hustling. I want to start making money but I have no motivation, I sleep 12 hours a day, like my body is giving up on me and I'm not gonna let that happen.

    Wow, 108 days! Congrats for that - and the morning wood. Same here with the flatline but I'm still in early days. I get what you mean about motivation. I've got habits and routines so I don't rely on my sex drive to motivate me. Gabe Deem from Reboot Nation said it took him a few months to recover fully from PIED and flatline. He had a partner too so I suppose she helped him "rewire" his brain as well.

    I do it because semen is a powerful life force and I don't want to waste it.

    Also I like my happiness to depend only of me not an external source and PMO makes you an slave, I'm not a slave.

    Sure, my routine usually goes like this:
    *Yoga {1/2 hr}
    *Meditation {1/2 hr}
    *Breakfast
    *Writing (journal, writing exercise, etc.)
    *Shower
    *Morning walk
    *Lunch
    *Work (1200/1600)
    *Dinner
    *Reading/R&R/More yoga/meditation in evening

    Sometimes I'll break the routine if things get monotonous or if I'm meeting friends or family, etc.

    What you're doing - no porn, masturbation or orgasm. The "hard" thing is not masturbating or having an orgasm while rebooting. It's recommended you don't nut until at least 90 days have passed because you might slow your reboot and trigger porn cravings but, in my experience, when you're in a "flatline" you don't often have the urge to nut anyway so it's not that hard.

  10. My reason for rebooting started as a desire to follow the Bible and purge out my old ways. As I learned more about this addiction I realized that it may have been adding garbage into my entire life experience. Social anxiety/shyness & low self confidence were substantial obstacles for me. People used to give me a hard time for appearing shy, people would say I never talk, or don't know how to talk. At times I had some confidence depending on what I was doing but overall I just felt like I was missing something, I was never comfortable with myself. On top of this I felt like I had a hard heart, I could feel lust but not a lot of genuine love, I was a calm guy but then I would get these big bursts of anger sometimes. I just really felt broken. Most of these things appeared after I became a teen and I started to do PMO when I was 13.
    If I can stop doing PMO then I can start behaving like a real believer and I can reverse all of these problems.

    I am doing it because pmo has been such a time suck in my life. So much I could have done if I wasn't just spending my time on porn.

    For me it’s a time suck; I don’t feel particularly good about the porn I was consuming; I wanted a deeper desire with my wife; I was using it as a distraction from anxiety; I want to be able to focus on the things that matter instead of focusing on porn and hiding my habit.

    This. All the things. In the moment, I struggle to stay connected to this though.

    I do nofap because it is part of a disease for me that keeps me from living my best, most fulfilling life and keeps me from being the man I want to be.

    Cause i don't want nothing related of P or M in my brain again, i can't concentrate with those images rounding in my mind.
    I was so many years with that, i want to change that aspect of my life, i am happy this site exists.
