Hey Guys, This is actually my first time posting on this forum. I have been lurking here and there on here for some time and thought I will make a post today. The reason for this post is to inspire others and also be part of the community as a helping hand for the ones still struggling with this. I have been free from my addiction more than a year now and I can say that I will never go back again. I have changed internally and don‘t have any desire to watch porn anymore. This is what a reboot is all about - killing your desire to watch porn! Not some willpower BS that only makes your life harder and not easier. Also another thing I did was stop counting the days. Many people think it's way to stay motivated, but let's be real the higher your streak the harder you will fall. Progress isn't measured by days of abstinence, but by how much less you need porn to go through daily life! If you have any questions or struggles, feel free to DM me maybe I'm able to help you.
I started this journey because I didn't feel good, because of all the negative effects this addiction had on me. PIED, Anxiety, Depression, Disturbing thoughts, NOW I feel awesome!
I like your idea of how to measure progress. Will keep that in the back of my head. Starting from day 0 today, let’s go. Honestly, even though the streaks I’ve had, have had roundabout the same length for a long time now, the amount and intensity of cravings on those days has been lower.
Kind of, but as I stated already, it take way more than just willpower. Willpower will not fix the root causes of the problem.
You may have not understood the question, feeling great is not a PAWS. Did you experience any negative symptoms due to withdrawals, e.g. insomnia? Can you elaborate?
Hey man, can you please give me your best tips, you said its not about willpower, then what is it? I cant get past 2 weeks. Thanks in advance
I actually understood your question. Like I said I experienced WS, I had them for like 4-5 weeks, I was really tired all the time really, lethargic, higher social anxiety, no motivation. btw the statement about feeling great was a joke where I just wanted to share how I felt after recovery. How is it going for you man ?
Yes it is cured. Do you also struggle with PIED ? Some really weird stuff, just like almost every addict lol
