9 year pmo free

Today is year 9 of my sobriety and new life.

Hayy for you my dear friend, may I ask you a few questions:

How long where addicted ?
How was your first year and your second year fighting it off ?
How ddi you manage to deal with PAWS ( Post Accute withdrawl Symptoms ) ?
 
How long where addicted ?

for 33 years

How was your first year and your second year fighting it off ?

the first was not so easy. The second and the next ones were almost easy

How ddi you manage to deal with PAWS ( Post Accute withdrawl Symptoms ) ?

prayer at the time of PAWS

Thank you for your response, I appreciated it. Please welcome here among us, we need men like you! We need them inspire people, a lots of guys in here have lost hope, they believe they can't make it, a lots of them fail prior to reaching the 90 days.

Anyways, I'm personally still fighting PAWS in the first year, what advice would you give me ? I'm taking it for the rest of my life.

Brother, you were addicted for 33 years - Before I and many people around here weren't even born, your story and straight would inspire millions!

Welcome with us.

To fight PAWS is relatively simple and easy if one knows what really works. In my case nothing had worked beside of prayer. That is - when temptation starts you start to pray and you do it as long as the temptation lasts. And you repeat the whole cycle when another temptations come back. You repeat it as many times as they come back and soon you are the winner experiencing some inner peace until they come back again. But if you start watching porn substitutes ( even for a while) then prayer won't work rather.
There are much more details and some other means I have been using. If you are interested then PM me.
Welcome with us.
I'm not new on this forum. I have been a member since 2015.

How was your recovery timeline looks like? For symptoms like PIED, anhedonia, depression, anxiety
During the 9 years no such symptoms. Maybe because before I had had almost one year free with only a few pmo acts. But for sure the means I have been using fight anhedonia, depression, anxiety either and pied is only a matter of time - if your abstinence from porn and masturbation is long enough then pied is over because the cause of pied is too often using porn plus masturbation. It's like you can't experience the feeling of being hungry if you always eat too much.

I had had all the 4 symptoms you wrote when I tried to get rid of pmo for many years (about 22 years) unsuccesfully. It had been unsuccesful because I had used ineffective means.

You did a great Job, You definitely have done a really great Job, I'll contact you over PM, when I get some free time.

33 years of addiction, It's not east, it was really really hard. During your recovery, at which year have you felt the Positive Effect of NoFap and that you're healing ? In other words - when did you feel that PAWS Effects started to decrease ?

I've been addicted for quit 11 years, I'm 164 days away from PMO and I'm suffering from PAWS right now, No Motivation, Anhedonia, Insominia, Weakness, Exhaustion... you name it! If you don't answering my question, I would really appreciate it if you please, thanks a lot.

Already after 5 or 10 days since I started my new approach, method 10 years ago.

These are signs that you lack something in your process. You have given up pmo but instead of it you got nothing to reduce your pain, nothing to relieve you. I had experienced it too for 22 years. But it will change as in my case if you start using some means to reduce your negative feeling, emotion and acute body reaction.

What do you mean there is something I lack ??
I mean PAWS Could take 2 years after abstaining and worst cases 3 years and soletimes in rare cases up to 4 years and few more months.
I mean like, I'm already expecting 2 years at best and 4 years at worst.

Tony, my man! You and me are burning it up right now! I follow your lead!
 
My recovery has been full pmo-free. So no masturbation and no porn and no porn substitutes during the 9 years.

How did you manage to survive for so long without pmo ⁉️ during nine years you didn't have sex ⁉️ it's really crazy! I'm 30 soon, I'm 126 days into the process, I'm doing great and I haven't fallen even once. But my partner makes it difficult for me, she wants to sleep with me and it really hurts our relationship. And all this regardless of the fact that I want children soon.. I'm frustrated and don't know what to do
