    The first 2 weeks were filled with extreme depression. This last week has been great, but my urges have been even greater. I almost had my first wet dream last night. It gave me a lot of confidence when I woke up. I'm going for 120 days to get rid of PIED. I do not think my addiction is extremely bad, but I've been doing since I was 10, before puberty, and I've noticed my voice getting deeper and I'm getting hairier. I'm 16 btw. Tell me what day you're on, how your journey has been, and your goals. I have also had a headache all day which could be a sign of withdrawal?

    Wow, 20 days! Should be very proud, keep it going! Headache, yes I would say it would be due to the rebooting process (have never reached 20 days though so I don't know).

    This is my first attempt and I have a lot of confidence that I will complete it. What are your goals and how far are you along them?

    I am on day 48. My journey has been a difficult one. I had been PMOing for a long time without ever realizing it could be damaging me. But now I have the knowledge, and I am not giving up. I am going to reach 90 days, and hopefully longer than that. So far the changes have been mostly more time to work on myself and work on homework and things, more confidence and sometimes people in my life tell me they've noticed me changing for the better, or that I'm handling things well.

    Today is day 30 for me of PMO sobriety. I can definitely relate to the depression issue, but honestly I was pretty depressed before. I have had a handful of wet dream situations and a couple of near misses where I almost looked at porn. I would read the news and see an attractive woman and then search her. In the past that would lead step by step to porn, but I managed to back off. Its been pretty uneventful in my day to day life, but internally I am definitely struggling with the depression and obsessing over the possibility of falling off the wagon.

    For one, I haven't been in a serious relationship with anyone for years. Also I just wasted a lot of my time I could have spent being productive and bettering my future. Instead I was just looking at porn everyday. For hours! I had no idea. Instead of looking for love I was looking at pornstars

    Did you have PIED? And has it gone away?

    No, I never really had a problem with PIED. My problem was mostly with premature ejaculation caused by "death-gripping" my penis like an overly-excited gorilla every night. For some people this causes the opposite problem, where they cannot ejaculate while having sex, only whilst masturbating. But for me sex reminded me of PMO, and I would get overexcited, and I would just lose control. I've learned I just need to slow things down and simply not orgasm so much. I haven't had sex yet during my reboot, so I don't know if it has helped, but I imagine it has helped quite a bit but not all the way disappeared.
