JOIN THE 90 DAY REBOOT PROGRAM HERE!! (CHECKED DAILY AND HOSTED BY Real_OGH)

Day 3 - fine!

 

Day 1.

I've been in a 12 step program for years that's helped my abstain from porn for various lengths of time. I've had numerous reboots, though I never used the word reboot until now. Abstinence from PMO produced major breakthroughs each time in all areas of my life.

For the last 5 years, I've gone no longer than 2 weeks of abstinence, and it wasn't intentional abstinence, typically low libido due to stress or anti-depressants. Typically I PMO once or twice a week for 15 minutes max.

I have a 10 month old baby with my girlfriend. I'll be 40 years old in a month. I've fallen into a bit of a depression the past few months, whether it's because of lack of sleep from my son waking me up throughout the night or some sort of pre-40 blues, I know that my PMOing is contributing to how I feel.

This is the first conscious reboot I've done in probably 6 years. Didn't have this forum to aid me back then, feeling hopeful that I have this vast resource for support I can turn to when I hit the wall and start obsessing about looking at porn.

 

Day 21 ! Wow i'm breaking my previous record ! i was busy the whole yesterday week. i've been so much depressed and got to hit panic button twice. but the thing is you kept learning from the struggle you had. I'm proud of myself not to PMO now. I rewarded myself with PMO before. Now my life is a bit change and got better.

Good luck guys ! Stay Strong !

 

Day 33. Last night I read almost every post here from the start and prayed for an answer. So I came to the conclution that what I did two dags ago (M for a few minutes without any sexual feeling, then stopped when I realized what I was doing. I don't know what to call it. Any one else experienced the same thing?) was a setback but not a reset as I didn't P or O.
I like to think that I got something back from stopping and keep up The fight. Last night I got a phonecall, it was an old classmate, a wonderful girl, and she asked me for a date tonight.
No more setback.
Fight!

 

Wellcome.
Looking forward to follow your process. You are in good hands here. Stay strong.

 

Day 20

So I'm finally in the twenties! It's a bit of a bittersweet victory to be honest with you. During the past few days leading up to this one I've had somewhat severe mood swings, I had low energy and my body just felt really heavy.

To add fuel to the fire, I have had some really strong urges today! I didn't give in though but I swear I almost did, I was this close. I'm rooting for err'body.

Stay strong - the crawl continues...

 

Day 7 folks. So far, no urges yet and I don't need there to be any. I've relapsed too many times recently close to the 7-10 day mark so I gotta get through that and then push forward. I know I gotta get back up to my previous record, which is 34 days, and beat it. This time I will reach the 90 days.

 

Day 27,

Started the day off well, but kinda got progressively tired and irritated. Just boredom at work and anxiety, which are huge triggers for me. I will try to stay in the moment the rest of the day, and pray to be relieved of my obsession. No amount of boredom is worth giving up the progress I'm making in this fight against PMO. Stay strong everyone!

 

Day 27
I had a good day at school, managed to get sleep Sunday night, and I'm mentally preparing myself to go into full focus mode for Wednesday. I had some pretty strong urges today, and I started lending them thought. Then I realized this is how PMO's happen and I can't let myself even consider it.

 

day 64, I've have a couple of porn flashbacks but nothing that i can't control with a little of breathing, a little advice you should take care of shower because one thing takes to another.
I am killing it lmao, and one thing more I'm still horny damn brain

 

Day 34!
I never even dreamed of to get this far. 2/3 left. The key is to keep busy and sleep before your head hits the pillow. WE CAN DO IT!

 

when there is unintentional flow of white liquid without erection . is that considered relapsing ?
I have no idea why its happening . I just see it sometimes. Pls help. Is this normal during reboot ?

 

Been trying to stop PMO for a few months now. My longest streak is about 9 days. Just finished my 1st day after relapsing again. I hope that by taking on this challenge, I will go the distance.

 

How many days in a streak does it need to make you unstoppable?
How much effort does it need to make such a streak?

 

am i too late for this challenge? if not count me in , i just joined today..

 

Welcome

Keep going, don't give up. We're here to give you support all the way. Good luck!

 

The urge I think will allways be there, but not as strong. And only you can and know how to tame it. But 90 days is a Great way to start life in a brand new direction. And you will have A LOT of sparetime

 

Welcome!
It's never too late. Good luck. We are here for you. Soon you be counting weeks and even months.

 

Day 28,

Boredom is really becoming a big weakness for me, particularly at work. I could really feel the urges coming back today because of it. Worse, i don't think I did a particularly good job of squashing those urges.

I'm finding something I really have to be on gaurd about is anything that might replicate that dopamine boost that came from searching something new, trying to find something else online, that anticipation, the chase, the craving, whatever you want to call it. While the urge to straight up P is becoming reduced, I'm finding that desire for P-like anticipation still very prevalent.

I have some ideas on how to prevent this going forward. The biggest one is remaining focused during my day and not indulging distractions. This is huge for me at work, because I'm on a computer all day, so I have to start being a lot more vigilant about not getting distracted with news articles and gif sites when I get off track. I'm also going to work on praying/meditating when that desire to just toe the line when an urge comes up. I will ask for my obsession to be removed so I can do the next right thing. Finally, I think overall I'd like to work harder in my recovery from PMO, reaching out to more people and doing more readings. I think all of these things will help me keep that desire for the anticipation of P-subs reduced. Thanks everyone, hope you're all doing well.

 

One day at a time. Don't think about the future. Just don't PMO today. You'll discover what it takes for you. We're all different. Looking forward to hearing about your journey.
