    I feel like my last PMO use was ages ago, maybe on the order of months, but I am only at 19 days. Not even 3 weeks!! This has happened to be before.

    Does anyone else have this strange sensation that it was much longer than it actually is? What causes it? It's almost like a trick of the mind, one thinks that they did it long ago so it isn't that bad and maybe it's ok to do again, but in reality ppl's addictions are much deeper and they don't realize it.

    Came in thinking this was a thread on eternalism, the concept where all time exists at once. The reason it feels so long would be because you are probably constantly thinking about pmo which makes time feel a lot slower, and that accumulates over time.

    Me too, 23 days ago, might as well have been 23 months ago. I think it's true that it feels like a long time ago, in part, because we are thinking about PMO or thinking about not faping, but with a significant body change and chemical activity in the brain and body there could be a childlike state happening that slows down time, everything is new again, we are more present. If you ask me life is so short so take it slow.

    I agree with everything feeling new and being more present! It is a great feeling.
