    I kept pretty good track of my pornography use in the past two years. During that time, I had a few streaks in the 27 to 33 day range. But every time I would get that level, I would relapse. And I would relapse hard and quickly and a lot.

    This time feels different. It feels like I've broken through another level.

    When I look back on the past four months, I've only had 8 relpases leading to this long streak. And if we're being honest, it was really two binges of three days in a row a piece and then two separate incidents. Before that when I had long streaks it would take me so long to get back and I would have a lot of relapses in between.

    I'm about to crack my longest streak of this current incarnation and get past 33 days. I feel like once I get there I will have another chapter in my life opened up.

    Benefits of No PMO

    1. No social anxiety; 99% of time relaxed, calm, cool; easy to be sociable. If I do start to get nervous I think, "What do I have to be fearful about?" And I get calm in about 1-2 seconds.
    2. More attention from opposite gender -- without trying
    3. No brain fog; can concentrate easily. Can think clearer under pressure.
    4. Increased motivation-energy to get things done.
    5. More Stamina -- can hang in their longer at work (be tough) and complete projects; can work overtime, while others can't
    6. No fears; high levels of testosterone = strength and don't take bs. (No one has messed with me in 52 days +.)
    7. More time for good/productive things. Not wasting time going to phony porn sites; fapping to pixels; lusting, etc.
    8. The opposite gender increasingly becomes less and less of a priority.
    9. Improved Confidence -- (online comment) "porn and masturbation lowers your self-esteem and confidence"
    10. More Respectable -- (online comment) "if you resist the urge to masturbate -- a practice that is generally condemned -- you are likely to feel more respect for yourself; and others will respect you more." We all can quickly tell if a man or woman is fapping ... nervous ... weak … fearful … has shame [trying to hide something] …
    11. Improved Creativity and Resourcefulness

    *Somedays are so-so … and some are difficult due to "flat line". But your daily progress-success is motivating and inspiring to you & others.
