    Hi

    I've been on this journey for a while, and in my most recent efforts, I have chossen to experiment with allowing m on occasion.

    I try to focus on sensation, or previous sexual encounters. I'm not using porn scenes in my head.

    I am also sexually active with my partner.

    Knowing what I now know, I can avoid chaser and stop myself from peaking to p subs. I am also very aware of my emotional state, and feel in a state of control in my life. I am mostly happy, and am working through a recovery program.

    So far it's helped, and I'm not doing it compulsively. But im looking for long term healing so i am curious to know if others have used this to good effect. Or if i should be careful. Or if i am fooling myself.

    My ap has done this and it's worked for him.

    In last 21 days I think I've used 3 or 4 times.

    What recovery program are you working? I noticed you mentioned your AP has done this but that's presumably here, and I'm guessing this site doesn't count as a recovery program - which would likely involve the word sponsor.

    Hi mate, of you check my signature there is a free course at recovery nation. There is a lot of content and a lot of workshops I've been doing it for about 12 months and I'm not even halfway through it. I really need to focus more attention on, my lack of effort is a reflection on my recovery efforts.

    My ap is here, @Tryinghardtoquit2

    I read a thread from some folk here who used m. I'm quietly confident that if I can continue this trend of not using p at all I'll make some progress.

    I have tried M as well, without using P, but eventually lead me back to PMO. Depending on your state of mind, what's going in your daily life, relationship status, I believe it works in short term but could backfire in the long run. But that's just my experience.

    Thanks mate. Deep down I suspect this may be the case for me. Something about dopamine receptors not being rewired etc.
     
  6. I find that with just M I dont get the debilitating withdrawal symptoms I do with Porn. However with M I notice a pattern of me breaking out in cystic acne and I feel a bit more motivated without M.
