Hi all, new poster here, glad to have finally seen the light. It's so refreshing to find some like-minded individuals and the support in this place is great! I haven't watched P in 4 weeks. I had read about the dangers of it before but dismissed it. I got a new laptop 4 weeks ago and wanted to avoid viruses so I quit to see how it affected me. It was the best decision I've made in a long time! I have M a few times as I didn't realise that was part of it, I think I'll stop for 90 days though now. I must admit the O I got was incredible and the best I have had in a long time - crazy how quickly it changed. Main benefits I have seen from quitting P so far: - More self-confident - Less self-loathing: I have an issue with an overbite which I always thought made me ugly. Maybe it does but I have accepted it in the past few weeks and realised that girls do actually find me attractive. - Motivation - I am going to the gym way more to lose wait and tone a little. I have also made steps to start a better career. Less desire to eat bad food. - Greater libido. - Way more time in my day. - Less-severe social anxiety, almost no symptoms in the past week or so. I've even been dating a girl for 3 weeks and we have become very close. - Greater respect for women. I was obsessed with finding an unrealitcally attractive women. I can now appreciate someone's flaws. I am now so excited to see what I can achieve with my life. I'm looking forward to supporting others and to join the community.
Yeah most of the time - way less inclination to O. Though this could be because I met a chick soon after quitting P. When I meet someone I'm like a girl and barely think about sex, more about building a connection - lame I know, but that's how I am.
Ive been the same way, like from a mental aspect im sexuality overloard. And all my mind wants to do is make a real connection and have a real ass conversation. Feels good though. Feels normal
I am scrolling through Success post from those who are at a similar stage to me... just to add my congratulations and support
