    Day 45 was the key to unlock a major portion of understanding. I've been pushing towards halfway for 45 days and this morning I realized: halfway to what? I'm there. I've incorporated no PMO fully. There is no halfway to no PMO-all in is best because:
    Brain fog is being replaced by clarity.
    Sleepless nights are being replaced by true rest.
    I'm dripping off weight without trying.
    My contribution to my own life is more focused and the reward is that I get to live.

    45 was easier than 40. Which was easier than 30. Way easier than 2 weeks. And 1 week was a true victory after my first relapse. Am I perfect? Nope? But I am all in. And all in is better.

    Making 90 is gonna happen. To do it I need to:

    Stay committed to me
    Keep up the work with my APs
    Continue to find Healthy subs
    Not forget I'm human
    Keep reading and apply what I'm reading about no PMO
    Keep a sense of humor
    Look for smiles
    Live life-real life

    Very good..very good indeed...I'm right behind you...whoa....I'm still in....and it is quit a challenge ...my hardest time is when I am alone and fantasizing ...I can get erections now that I have never experienced before....but I do not touch. Period. If for some reason he lets go, it won't be from touching..I finally told my wife that I am not masturbating ...she is 67 ...I am 58 ....I will continue my abstinence for the 90 days hell or high water....this is something worth doing definitely ....Keep going, you are doing great!

    This is a great post. I'm continuously relapsing in the 7-14 day time and I never see the relapses as too serious or a reason to go further when the urge becomes too much. Your post has mentioned some fantastic benefits that will be gained by going for a longer period of abstinence.
    I'll save this thread and read it when the urges come back. - Thank you.

    Question - Have you stopped MO or just PMO? My goal is to quit PMO, but I do enjoy the occasional MO when I can't have sex with my wife.

    That's a good question.....you are healing...when you heal, then what?...I still have a ways to go, but I have extreme urges
    I am slowly learning how to channel those urges...if I slip, it will be START OVER AGAIN...I DONT WANT THAT
    it's like climbing Mt Everest....lots of people start, but few make it to the top.
    Yes...this challenge is like non other...you are fighting nature...nature is strong.
    But you have one thing on your side....your will....it can be as strong as you choose.
    You can be the weakest man on earth, but have the strongest will.

    PMO. Porn has been easy to eliminate. I really miss MO for the dopamine rush.

    Congratulations on making it half way!! That is some achievement and I admire you're determination and self assurance in stating you will achieve your 90 day goal!! But what's most interesting to me is the question you pose; half way to what? Archieving a 90 challenge, or whatever goal we set ourselves, is a big achievement, but what then? My theory is, during the reboot process we have the time to think about our lifetime goals and reset some principles we want to live by. Of course, this will be different for everyone, but it's our time to work out what makes us happy and healthy going forward in our lives. Good luck and stay strong :)

    You will make it buddy!! Just think, there are only two possible alternatives for tomorrow...waking up to Day 59 or resetting to Day 1. I know which one I'd prefer :)

    But yet....90 days...sooooo....if you go 90 days without food....you die.
    No benefits there. But....if you save your seed....there are benefits.....
    You read many threads that state benefits....yet, you need faith in yourself.
    Faith can't be bought .....can't be sold.....it's free....and it's very old.
    It's been around for a long time, yet so hard to find.
    You have to accept it, and believe....not so easy, is it?
    Yet, without faith, you would not have started this quest.
    You yearn to learn....so go with it...don't give up ....
    Choose your weapons, and go to war.
    The enemy is within, so cast him out.
