This is a lot like giving up cigarettes..

I don't know about old timers but I'll chime in. It's my experience that, yes, the craving for the addiction does subside but there still remains the inclination to seek sexual gratification in unhealthy pursuits if healthy ones are not available.
I like your sign or whatever you call it on your identification. I understand that to quit smoking requires a lot of self discipline and will power so I salute you on that accomplishment.

 

Agreed

 

One thing I know is that, you have to seek for help from someone to be able to overcome this addiction. If you are going to do it alone, the failure probability is 97%. The owner of this site sought help and also worked hard personally to be able to overcome this addiction. The battle will rage on for years but by increasing your understanding of this addiction and getting help and being disciplined and having an exit plan, you have better chances of winning.

 

As someone who's quit pretty heavy nicotine addictions quite a few times I've never been able to quit pmo. NoFap is alot harder than quitting smoking imo . When you quit smoking the nicotine withdrawals subside and all cravings stop . Don't think that's case with NoFap

 

Is there a patch for PMO recovery?
.

 

I can very much look forward to a life without PMO.

 

If you do not seek help outside, you can’t be able to beat it. Relapse and binging to porn is just days away. If you open up to someone about it. You will overcome.

 

In your case then yes, go to a doctor and take her support seriously, man!. You can do it : ). That's not something worth losing a relationship for.

 

Thanks for this post @Addictus . It really helps me to understand that what I am experiencing is a powerful addiction that takes time to break.
