Checking in. Can’t believe I’m over 35, but here I am. Have the family, job, diet and fitness under control, but not the PMO. Really want to tackle this demon. It’s been long enough.

Thanks Warren and congrats on 600+ days. I’m also blessed to have a wonderful wife who has encouraged me (but never pushed or nagged) when I’ve expressed desire to move away from other bad habits, such as gambling.
She understands I use it at times, such as when she’s on her period and has never complained, but I’m ready to cut out this garbage for good.

Good on you for making the right decision to delete this awful habit. Best of luck and reach out if you need support
Would it help you to explain what may have taken place in your journey?
What do you think this new reset is teaching you? What pattern has been exposed to help you?
Stay self compassionate brother, this is all part of the journey, and its One day at a time starting today, no past or concern how many days, just keep moving toward the vision of living with inner peace and purity.

Numb drowsiness
All right, we are back on track now, that one was ugly though. I mean it was a proper relapse with strong craving and lasted a couple of days, 0 discipline and 0 motivation.
Because I had a strike of 28 days before, the difference became much more obvious. Especially the drowsiness was something that surprised me. The fapping per se has a relaxing effect and calms down, but at the same time it also numbs reality. It gets quiet noticeable when you come from clean to this state back again. It get´s downwards pretty fast.
I realized my mental absence especially when talking to people. I would be quiet passive, less engaged, barely following the conversation. But then also less emphatic and as a consequence also less interested generally. There was more pretending to be social, interest,... and let´s not forget about the grumpiness.
If this isn´t enough, the grumpiness is part of an overall over sensitivity. So I felt often questioned, attacked or called out, when it was not. Also I was back to my risk adversity, avoiding any unnecessary conflict.
There is something good though coming with this relapse. It showed clearly the difference of the before and after comparing them directly.
I wasn´t able to update the last days, as I had my 5 years old daughter with me all time.
Stay strong and wishing all a great and sober year 2025

Thank you, I appreciate that. I’m glad to see your battle is still going and that you are having positive results.
You are in the right place - welcome. Take it one day at a time, don’t be too hard on yourself if you slip and shout if you need anything.
