    To the point of edging... I cant deal with this insomnia... I edged a bit just now but I dont want to break my streak... I broke it last week. But this insomnia is killing me. I fucking hate this bad habit... this addiction. Its robbed me of 15 years of my life and I still cant get passed it... why does it feel like hell?... how can I deal with insomnia? I hit the gym but nothing is working...

    Edging stops your progression is my experience. I was edging the first 3 week. then i stopped because i didnt experience any change only extreme urges. 1,5 weeks later I had my first wetdream and got myself entering the flatline. start abstaining for REAL and STAY STRONG. things will change, I know it will. good luck soldier.

  3. There is some disagreement as to whether edging itself is a relapse. I happen to believe that it is, since you are indeed masturbating. I would reset your counter.

    I also have insomnia due to my abstention from porn and masturbation. However, I definitely feel that the further I progress the insomnia is becoming less problematic. The first couple days I hardly slept at all, but you should get back to normal sleep eventually.
     
  4. The early days are hard, no doubt about it. A few sleepless nights will not hurt you. Not as much as staying enslaved to PMO will, anyway. If you endure -- no P and no MO (incl. edging) -- it will get easier. If you continue to prime the pump, you will never be free.

    Bro if your 15 years into this... just get rid off anything that allows you to access porn, or enter a rehab center, its not wrong to get help from outside, if you cant do this on your own! i hope you will overcome this

    Totally agree, I read somewhere that edging will only frustrate you more. And i've done it, I edged for four days a couple of years ago, experimenting, seeing if I could cheat to get a dopamine pick up, but in the end disaster - I was like an angry bull, hyper sexual, aggressive. To me its like an alcoholic smelling beer... he will eventually taste it and if not he will not get over it. For me to edge is a total mistake, it sent me mad, I felt a little insane at the time. Got to let it go totally, take the reboot on the chin. Jose Silva's Ultra Mind changed my life people, I would love someone to tell me they tried it and it changed theirs too.

    Treat yourself like a complete addict, be aware that you have a weakness for that shit. Do Not Edge. Get Jose Silva's Ultra Mind, I use it and I don't have crazy urges, sure I was a little grumpy for a bit but I slayed the urges. Your mind is a super computer, make it work for you not against you. And once you are FREE whatever you do don't go back, get a GF or literally whatever, but don't think you can go back to P and you can control it or it will be different. And the insomnia, you need some lemon Balm and Valerian root, a good place to start and also get on to your Dr, start trying different pills for that, one of the latest is Mirtazapine that isn't very addictive.

    Edging is a relapse! In fact, edging is worse than quickly rubbing one out, because you keep flooding your brain with more and more dopamine non-stop without putting an end to it!

    I can talk from my own painful experience: Edging will make your addiction worse in every way. Edging lead to disgusting porn habits for me, as well as literally everyone I ever talked about edging. It makes recovery pretty much impossible. So, I can only suggest this: Stop edging right now! If you relapse, try to be as quick as possible!
