I'm here to try something new and make it stick. I also saw the article in the times and this seems like the best option for me. I've tried using Nomo app and it just hasn't worked. All it does is count days, but there's no way to track progress. After 6 months of stagnating, I realize I need to break this habit. I would go for a week without PMO, but then I would binge out and erase all of the good energy I had built up. This would usually happen after nights where I would drink. I'd wake up, be alone, and it would spiral from there. I've used PMO as an excuse to not be intimate...ever. I've had this site on my bookmarks for a week now and I hadn't posted. I hadn't watched any porn, but I was still masturbating and when I would do that I could only think of porn. The way I use coffee in the morning is the same way I use masturbation at night, and I think this will be the hardest part of my recovery. On the positive side, I just graduated college and I'm about to start a new chapter in my life in grad school. I was in a fraternity and I definitely squandered some of the opportunities I had, but I've never been interested in random hookups anyway. I'm in the best shape I've ever been and I'm eating healthy. I have a lot going for me and for too long I have let PMO hold me back. I've had girls who liked me and I've done nothing. I think some of it is performance anxiety, from so many years of being alone, but a lot of it is that PMO has destroyed my sex drive. I don't know if rebooting is going to solve these problems for me, but I don't like the road I'm going down and I think this is a healthy move for me.
