Collective Benefits -

i´m glad for you that you made it to 95 days and you´ve made all that process!! keep it up!!

i myself don´t notice that much as of yet (day 17). maybe i´m a little less aggressive, can´t say for sure.
i´ve been a heavy fapper for years so i guess i need a lot of time to reboot for good :/

 

Getting out of comfort zone!

 

My experience so far has been

-Increased awareness and deeper connection to my feelings
-Increased confidence
-Increased interest in communicating with people
-Way More Energy than I already have
-Less Sleep
-Motivation to tackle large tasks I usually put off

Only cons -
Harder time focusing(because off how horny I get haha)
Too much energy and anxiousness I feel as if I may explode!

 

when did you achieve those things? your timer is at 0. just asking, no offense =)

 

Well done sir for making it to 95 days. I personally know how hard it is. Im on day 21 with P. I already feel my anxiety has decreased and I little bit more self assured. Keep up the journey - its inspiring.

 

Haha it just happened, I just caved in after a 10 day streak, so yeah the 0 timer looks bad =p

 

About the same . It's crazy . Sometimes I feel like I've wasted so much time and energy . I have more desire, drive and ambition now and I can't help to think what it would have been like if I was feeling that way even 2-3 years go instead of being depressed. I like the way I'm now and I also realize how deep my problems were. Now it's about going forward and not dwell onto the past . Not always easy but life ain't .

 

alright, as i said no offense. well, keep going on, don´t see it as a relapse. look at it as an experience.

 

No offense taken. Its a hard journey for all of us. Very valuable experience, if I can hit 10 days I know I can go further and get to 10 again.

 

-mental clarity. i feel like my forgetfulness was driven in large part because of PMO because my focus was always on my next fix instead of an important conversation or task or favor i was being asked about.

-stronger self-acceptance. without the expectations of "porn performance," i feel so much less pressure on myself.

-increased confidence, especially in my convictions about the dangers of PMO.

-increased happiness, even during flatline moments.

 

Great to hear the changes in you...
I am sometimes confident now, but still the mind is not yet clear for the thoughts.

 

- deppression totally gone after 12 years and Im only a couple days in
- self defeating thoughts vanishing
- social anxiety almost totally gone
- gf not so sad anymore
- brain fog clearing day by day

 

all the doctors/shrinks i went to see and they didn´t see the most obvious: i watched too much porn. guess the thing was i never told any doctor/shrink about it because it was too embarrassing to me.

 

Yeah back in days , when there were no Internet I guess it wasn't a big deal ( sex education ) . I mean the worst that could happen is teenagers having sex at an early age ( and usually at that age we don't know what we are doing ) but the problem today is there is no sex education for teenagers ( especially boys ) and in the meantime there is so much porn ( even movies and music is filled with sexual images which can be very arousing for someone that young ). It's totally normal for a boy to be interested in sex but the problem is Porn is not sex.

 

From my past experiences if you can get past days 10-14 it becomes a lot easier, but for me that period of time is where i always relapse
