Thanks, and same to you my friend. But, luck won't be necessary, I'm pretty solid on this, my mind is made up. Little brain is no longer in charge, Big brain is back in action!
Yep, was good (DE went away and had normal sex again, also no longer having the sick/crazy fantasies I was having before - they don't invade my thoughts anymore) at around 40 or 50 days, but seeing it through to the end (90 days). Didn't use P blockers either, but I think it might be a good thing for most people. I just convinced myself that I have to do this and it has to be done. I had 1 reset at day 41 I think, so I guess it was really 80-90 days if that reset didn't happen. I sort of got lucky and found this site by accident while I was exploring a chastity fetish and edging to p subs on YouTube because the next video was something about NoFap, and then I realized I have a problem.
Thanks Cool Yorky. Never had PIED, but did have DE. I'm all normal now. Our relationship has greatly improved, but there's still years of damage from avoiding sex (and preferring PMO) that needs to be resolved and I feel like things are really going well in that department and the only way to go is up. She notices the change in me and she's very happy that I found NoFap. For years she told me that I had a P problem, but I thought it was normal. For some reason hearing that from her didn't click with me. It wasn't until I heard the stories of other men and reading more about it on the NoFap site that I realized I really do have a problem. That moment of realization was the most important thing for me. Just admitting it to myself, from there it was tough in the beginning to get rid of the withdrawal and constant fetish/fantasy thoughts, but it was really easy after that.
I don't know you and I will probably never meet you, but reading this has made me very happy. As you leave us, and continue with your life you must remember one thing. You are someone who has sustained battle scars. These scars make you stronger than most of the people around you, but the demons who gave you those scars will never go away. you must never let you guard down. That is the price that those of us who have recovered (and also recovering) pay. Good luck with you future endeavors my friend.
Thanks my friend, I will always have my guard up Thanks GS, I will have a P-free journey ahead sprinkled with healthy M
@ClaritySeeker I am going to miss you. I really enjoyed reading your comments, and even though i dont have any SO yet, i still think very similar to you. My brain more or less doesnt care about porn anymore, i also still MO with next to no fantasising, and i also think that the forum, while it really is an amazing help at the start, takes a lot of time away, just like social media. All the best i hope you will be happy with your wife for a long time.
Thanks Haha, thanks Thanks RL, I really appreciate your comments and I also enjoyed your forum posts. Yes, we do think alike Thanks bru
