    I suffer/suffered from PIED. Right before I attempted to quit, i had no libido, couldnt get it up and felt little sensation wihen i would M, yet I would still PMO because i was addicted.

    Now 10 days into my reboot im experiencing severe cravings, i feel a fire in my stomach, and i salivate- i dont just pop wood out of the blue, but i have such a strong desire to M, i constantly watch to grab my area and just get one out, then although i feel like Ive overcome the heavy dependency, part of me wants to give up and spiral again.

    Is this withdraw?
     
  2. Yes, cravings, sexual desires, erections and other related issues are part of the process.

    But one promise I will make is that if you stay off of the PMO long enough,

    which is a minimum of 90 days,

    things will get better AND

    things will get easier.

    You will start to feel like you have the CHOICE,

    rather than the compulsion.

    Fight to stay the course, my friend.

  3. this is normal if you are just quitting the first 2-4 weeks are the toughest, also realize that because you are an addict dont make the mistake of talking to your self will you should pmo, your prefrontal cortex is damaged, the grey matter responsible for willpower is reduced especially if this is your first streak, you can successfully reboot, accept the urges, change your environment, and stop whatever you are doing and engage in something else, Also theres a perios called flatline where your penis goes limp, nothing work down there, be happy its a sign of progress but it usually appears after 20-40 days, if it appears early on this must not be you first streak, whatever you do dont test if its working, some flatline takes time, even if yours takes one years you gotta understand its a phase where your brain is healing, and a phase where the mind is dissociating porn to arousal. Good luck on your journey to recovery man :)
