I feel like a loser

I am in the exact situation, PMO came back into my life and started to wreck havoc on my life! I want to get back into my normal life but I can't! But dust yourself off, and try again. If you fail, then you just try again.

 

But the thing is, your body is not only affected by porn. If you go on porn websites, you are at a high risk of getting hacked by hackers who steal you information, which also leads to identity theft. Going on porn websites damages you digital footprint too, even if you have a vpn. So every time you feel an urge, think about all the hackers that steal information on those websites, and the negative effects it does on your brain. Could help you get over the urge.

 

I'd make a record of your relapse. Write it down, what happened, what triggered it, and how you felt after. Force yourself to read this every day if you have to so you know what awaits.

 

Hi. Im fairly new to the site. An old guy (well 52!). Been hooked on porn since I was 14 years old. I have had PIED for the last 2 1/2 years. I am on a 22 day stresk today and have just started to see improvements. For the first time in years I woke this morning to an errction. Two things I would say. Firstly , yes you most definately can fix this. It is hard, you fight constantly with yourself BUT men are built to have eretiions - you have the kit down there so go figure out what system works for you personally and stick to it. You will relapse but im told that you dont undo all your good work. Stay with it. Secondly, the other benifits ard huge too. You have to find them, feel them but you will change as people and be better for it. Having a positive mindset will hrlp too. I have been in a dark place with PIED but if your D worked once then it'll work agsin but you must stay away ftom P and ideslly PMO whikst you rewire your brains. Get to it brothers, have a good clean day.

 

Thats great. Luckily I've got a really busy work schedule this week, so the next 5 days shouldn't be a problem.

 

Can i join you bro ??

 

Got my 1 day done. Piece of cake. Got horny a couple of times but busied myself. it always gets harder as you near 7 days, then it gets easier again until things ramp up at about day 23 and they stay at a tense level until you achieve that golden month.

 

I was lucky in a way because my PMO addiction pre dated the high speed internet and I had a good healthy sex life as a young lad so I think I have pathways in my brain that I need to reopen related to that. Seems to be just starting now on Day 23. As for regrets, I wasted so much tome fapping and searching out P that I cld have used productively improving myself and ... wel to be honest ... l chasing skirt!. I think the internet is a really dark thing for addicts - my work has suffered badly from me wasting days surfing for P. Worse is that my relationship with my wife suffered. I looked at her differently and ultimately it led to PIED - no doubt about that at all. I am otherwise a sporty fit guy - lift weights and do a martial art. But I cant get it up with a woman due to P use. Advuce for younger guys? - simple, quit P and use that time to better yourself. You will be more attractive to girls and be a happier person. I think the isses re P use are inly just beginning for younger generations - be the lions as someone here said. Be the guys that avoid P and be better than the rest of your peer group.

 

I also meant to say that you cant quit P alone - I am a strong minded bloke but have tried quitting P 100 times. Just keep getting sucked back down to the filth. Until I joined here.
