Thanks man! that's good advice. It's true, I have to be realistic about this relationship. That's why I'm not calling her my girlfriend or anything. I'm just letting things be and letting my body decide instead of my thoughts. If things go bad, and I end up alone, I'll have to face the loneliness, and fight the porn addiction on my own. For now though, I'm trying to enjoy the relationship as much as I can. I feel like I'm very proud of who I am now but I'm still trying to improve myself every day. In case this relationship fails, I still have a lot to fight for, I believe my personal growth journey will be enough to keep me standing. Thank's again, that vas very useful advice =)
This was beautifully written, thank you so much for sharing this. It really struck a chord within me. I needed this right now, as I was feeling in the dumps after a relapse yesterday. Only made it 6 days, but this one hurt me inside. Felt awful, sad and depressed. This brightened my day.
Tony! I'm really glad it did. Relapses are a hard part of the process but you are already on the right track, I wish you the best in this new chance of building up your life, good luck!
Congratulations @thelooker. Well done! What an awesome and amazing story. Great writing too.I experienced some of your changes in my reboot too. But I relapsed after my 90 days. I just feel I should reboot again because I wanted to completely quit PMO.
Thanks for the support! A 90 days reboot does wonders to your head, and all that progress is not lost. Just try again, i'm sure you'll reach that milestone easier.
I'm so happy to read this and it is so inspiring, and it mirrors so many things that I experienced in my 90-day reboot. Stay strong. Don't make the same mistake I did in thinking that 90 days is a finish line. There is no finish line. Every day is a new day and a new challenge. All my love to you, my friend.

Congrats dude. Im on day 77 and have had literally the same experience. The biggest change for me was comparing myself to others and thinking I was garbage. What I've learnt that keeps me motivated is just to take a step back and awknowledge that things are finally changing and in a positive way. I found that if i dont talk to myself and just hope miracles are going to happen overnight, then my motivation comes to a halt. This is my 3rd really attempt at NoFap. And the first 2 times i tried, nothing happened. 3rd times the charm and im literally feeling like a god. Thanks for the motivation to keep going
That's awesome! Just a question, though; how long were your two previous streaks? Were you even close to 77?
I’m glad man! Yes, even if things don’t only improve, the important thing is that they are changing. Wish you the best!
Hey man! I had tons of reboots, mostly they lasted around 15 days. At the beggining of the year I reached 60 days but at the same time I was very stressed out by university and failed to keep it up. Then I had short streaks, 7-10 days and finally I started getting worried. I was scared that I would not be able to get rid of this condition of porn use. I remember having a kind of anxiety attack after thinking “what if you are a porn addict forever”. Finally I had a family vacation and finished going to class. I decided that the porn use would stay attached to my student years and I made the trip and took advantage of the lack of computers and technology. This helped me a lot, these days away from home helped me figure out who I really wanted to be and how I was going to become that person. When I came back I started working and made sure I stayed busy all day long. Then the days started piling up without much effort, I made sure I was always with someone else I enjoyed spending time with and working hard. That was more or less my journey. As the days went by my life started getting easier and more enjoyable even if there were hard times. Wish you the best! And make the effort it’s worth it!
The whole post, but espicially this paragraph inspired me a ton. Thanks for writing and sharing your story. After reading your success story I am extremely motivated to get as far as you! Major Congrats on your 90 days!
