Apparently it takes around 66 days to rewire your brain, or form a habit http://elitedaily.com/life/motivation/need-stop-bad-habit-need-66-days/784244/ That is why soldiers go through a basic training that is just slightly longer than 66 days. Now that I have rewired my brain I'll tell you what I've learned so far: Lust is a weak "force". Love is a strong one. An orgasm is so momentary but love can feel like eternity It is surprisingly difficult to give up PMO once you've started. Don't give up! And don't start again. Respect yourself So those are the main things. I am definitely still learning and I'm not done with my reboot yet. But I just wanted to share. Thanks for the support.
Huge congratulations to you - it's inspiring to hear what you have achieved. Have you noticed significant mental and physical improvements or primarily jut a change in attitude? (Not that that is a bad thing)
I do get morning wood now; to be honest I'm not sure why this is a big deal for some people; maybe just as a milestone so they can see that the reboot is working; I think I get less erections overall but when I do it is a good feeling, not a shameful one, if that makes sense. But it has mostly been a change in attitude. I feel better about myself and I give myself more time to invest in myself and that has been most of the improvement
Great stuff. This fourm is such a gift. Thank you all. I went 11 days without PMO , slipped a couple times this week but I'm back on the horse. Didnt like how I felt after the slip AT ALL. It's so not worth it. I've been using PMO for years to bury my feelings, because I could always go back to it when things were bad. Now NoFap is preparing me to make real changes in my life. Gotta stay strong.
