    Hello my name is Jack. I am 22 years old and I've been on the NoFap journey for a couple of years now. My longest streak of no porn/masturbation was 62 days followed by about 42 and 40 days. Lately I keep relapsing after about 14-21 days. I'm back on day 1 and I keep telling myself that I'm done relapsing. I want and NEED this to be the 90 day challenge that I completely succeed at. Some of the problems that I suffer from are PIED, loss of interest in real women (like I feel nothing when I look at them and don't feel much when I get blowjobs), and escalating to a disturbing type of porn (ts). I've been watching porn since I was probably around 14 and like many of you I've slowly escalated from 100% libido to real women (oh the good ol' teen years) to disturbing porn categories. My goal is to beat this 90 day challenge and then make this a lifelong habit where I never go back to porn or masturbation. I want to have a normal libido again where I'm interested in girls again and where I don't feel like I have skeletons in my closet. I'm looking for encouragement and maybe some advice for people who have recovered from PIED similar to mine. Thanks.

    Typical case man, don't worry there isn't anything extreme or unrepairable about you.

    PIED it goes away and honestly you'd be surprised how fast, i have had 100% performance after less than 40 days before (i wasn't sure if it was gonna work but when it came time to, it did)

    You just have to sit down and think to yourself, do i want to stay like this or do i want out?

    Once you decide no more, you will stick to it.

    Beware the guilt and shame cycle too, because one relapse does NOT = back to square one, but if you relapse and feel all the guilt and shame it'll pull you back to keep relapsing.

    It's hard to explain but don't associate with being an addict, don't identify with it, just decide it's not something you want to do anymore and don't do it.

    i am still learning, but i would say focus on the no pmo aspect, and trust the pied will be fixed.
    you have proved to yourself you can get past 30 days a few times, so clearly you have the tools and techniques - believe that and go for it....maybe think a bit harder why you fail after that period, if its just no change to pied (which is my worry also in taking this on, that it doesnt fix soon), i would say read some more forum posts, take motivation from others....and keep going.
