What is the longest NoFap success story?

What is the longest someone using the NoFap approach has gone without PMOing?

 

PMO ruled my life for over 14 years. I went from using it monthly, to weekly, to daily, to several times a day. Not PMOing had to become #1 in my life, over everything else, because if I didn't find an answer to it, it was going to destroy my life.

Someone told me a saying that became crucial to me: "Don't PMO if your ass falls off" meaning no matter what happened in my life, up to and including my ass falling off, PMO was not an option. I repeated that to myself constantly.

I couldn't have gotten here alone. I tried doing it alone for 14 years. I found people who had not PMO for years and called them when I was feeling tempted. I don't consider myself cured because I'm still tempted periodically. PMO is an isolating thing for me, so becoming involved with other people has probably been the biggest help.

 

To Rocky's point, I'm not here as a do-gooder. If someone can get some light from my path, that's great. I'm here, and at sites like this and in-person recovery, because I still need the help.

Carl Jung said a "protective wall of human community" is necessary to keep some people from the dark side. I still need community. 800 days is the past. Today is the present, and I'm as capable of screwing up as I ever was.

To zenmaster's question, before 2012, I would relationship hop. The problem for me was that as soon as sex entered a relationship with another person, the sex became more important to me than the person. I became addicted to the sex and only used the other person to fill it. That's not cool for me anymore, anymore than PMO. So I haven't PMO'd or had sex since the date on my counter.

You don't die if you don't have sex. You can die if you don't have love, and my life has lots of that these days. I'm waiting to fall in love for keeps, and then sex can come back in.
