    Hello everyone this is my first time ever joining a forum and this is my first post on here I’m am currently going through my reboot i am on my second week without PMO. I am a 27 year old male married and have 4 kids. I realized I was addicted to P when I tried to quit 2 years ago. I didn’t even know that porn addiction existed. Once I started feeling all the symptoms I started looking up what could be wrong with me and I found a lot of forms for PMO with people with symptoms similar to me. I was doing PMO everyday for years not knowing the consequences. I was able to go without Pmo for about 4 months and relapsed hard. Ever since that 4month period (almost 2 years ago) I am not able to reach close to 4 months. After that 4 months i wasn’t doing it daily but I would PMO at least once a week sometimes 3 times in 1 day and sometimes 1 time a day for 3 days . So far this 2 week reboot I’m on has been the 2nd longest since I been trying to quit. I thought I could do this on my own and could take this secret with me to the grave. I recently hit rock bottom and am tired of all the guilt and everything that comes with this addiction. I recently told my wife what I had been hiding since our marriage of 7 year. She took the news well and told me she will do whatever she can to help. This reboot has been tough it’s only been 2 weeks and these are the worst symptoms I’ve had. I’m not sure if quitting this addiction is linked to blood sugar but I have been feeling like I have hypoglycemia. Never felt this way and I am a pretty active person and once I quit I started feeling like this. I haven’t went to the doctor yet waiting to see if it’s just the symptoms of the addictions. But I’m trying and praying that this 2 week streak I have going turns into a 2 year streak then a 10 year streak and then a life time streak. Hoping I can find some people on here to help me along the way thank you.

  2. Hello and welcome! Great step telling your wife what’s been going on. My wife has been a huge help in all of this. She’s so supportive and understanding. Sounds like you have what it takes to get rid of this stuff...going 4 months and all. Once we get that far relapsing becomes so dangerous as you’ve found out. The water slide down the rabbit hole is quick and deadly. I wish you all the best, my man! Stay positive and give your family lots of hugs! :)
