    Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I wrote an update, but I would like to share this achievement of mine to motivate others, I can't believe it's been more than a month since I did PMO, It's incredible just to think about it, last time I hit this streak was years ago, I think back in 2017.

    Benefits so far:
    - This is weird, but I look at girls differently, like I see an average girl so damn beautiful.
    - My emotions and feelings got a lot stronger.
    - I started to really love myself, more confident, and I was able to handle hard situations more professionally.
    - I lost around 3kg
    - I've seen improvements in my social life, I go out of the house more often, I'm sure this will improve even further if I stayed clean another month or two.

    Setbacks & Side-effects:
    - at Day 23 I'm not sure, I think between 23-25, I got really intense pain in the area between my balls and legs, I couldn't lift my right leg more than a few inches, I felt like I was heavy like I needed something to clear out lmao, I told myself it's my brain tricking me into PMO, and I was right, two days later, I'm fully recovered.
    - At Day 32, I started getting urges, but nothing to worry about, I feel like I'm more able to handle urges than I used too.
    - Minor depression sings. (Maybe my brain is used to PMO and making me feel depressed sometimes?)

    I still have a looong way, and this is only the beginning.
    I'll update you guys at my next goal, (60 Days), hopefully, I'll achieve that by the end of September, and hopefully I'll make it.

    Thank you for reading, and good luck to all!

    Day 33:

    I had some crazy intense urges, I also started to notice my mood is changing rapidly, I get angry quickly, I didn't enjoy talking to anyone today even my own Family, It's a weird day. I'm not sure if this is normal withdraw side effects, anyone who has a longer streak, can you please explain?

    Day 36: (I had to post cause something weird happened)

    - Today, I had a really weird night, my sleep was really bad, let me explain what happened, so the day was going ok until I felt sleepy and I went to bed, it took me a while until I actually fall asleep, then in the middle of the night I felt like I was still conscious, my brain is going through all the "Porn Categories" I used to watch earlier, It was more like Hallucinations, the weird part is...I wasn't in control, my head was going crazy non-stop, and I didn't have an urge! it's weird, when I woke up, I felt like I didn't sleep, like it was a conscious sleep, my sleep time was 10 hours, woke up after 8 hours to go to the bathroom, and got back to bed for another 2 hours since I felt like I didn't sleep well.

    I'm not gonna think too much about this weird night, and it definitely didn't affect me in a negative way, but rather in a positive way to keep going and keep fighting this brain of mine who's trying to play tricks on me to go back to porn, to my old shitty self.

    Day 39:

    Reset to 0, I fapped and I was shaking like crazy when doing it, my whole body was shaking without even reaching orgasm yet, this proves porn is so fucking dangerous, my teeth hurt so bad because of the uncontrollable shakes I got, I couldn't control today's urge at all, God this really sucks...but I'm proud of myself to reach 39 Days since 2017, the best is yet to come, I ain't giving up.
     
  11. Keep going man! Sorry for the relapse and yes I used to get shaking and like dying when I (edge) or think about it. keep persisting and things will be better! 38 days are an achievement :)

    Just read this entire thread top to bottom. It was going so well until today. Sorry it got the better of you but still a great achievement.

    I just wanted to add that around the 20 day mark I too got deep aching pain in my balls. So wanted to MO to relieve “the pressure” but a day or two later it completely disappeared.

    Thank you for your support man, and yeah about the balls pain I freaked out as well, I thought I had to MO so the pain can vanish but Nah, it's all our brain, it's a complex thing seriously, you're doing great so far! keep it up and be careful, it may get intense but never give in to it as I did.

    BTW your signature "Challenges" is quite good, I copied it if you don't mind.

    I wish you the best of luck, we got this :emoji_muscle:

    Exactly man, I like your outlook on this!, my depression signs and mood changes started on the 20-25th day I think, hopefully, this time I learned better, it's all part of "the process" you just gotta enjoy the process, not the end result I guess.

    That's some good info & uplifting, let's hope this streak I won't get that pain again, thank you so much mate!

    You know I did take cold showers at the first weak, then stopped, it was very helpful especially with urges.

    Of course! No problem! Glad you like it. Just a little reminder of the mini goals on the way to 90 days other than the main day counter itself.

    Cold showers are good. I discovered that if I'm pushed for time and really need to "Cool My Boots" in the heat of the moment, so to speak, that I only need to cold shower my genitals for a couple of minutes. Only need to get half undressed! I still think a full-on cold shower is a good part of a daily routine, but chilling your nuts quickly can get you out of a moments weakness quite effectively! :rolleyes:

    Oh, and somewhere on here it was mentioned about holding your breath works to get rid of "unwanted stiffness". I found taking a super-massive deep breath and holding for a minute with eyes closed was very effective. I guess the oxygen depletion starts to put your body into a bit of a survival panic mode, so maintaining an erection is no longer deemed an essential part of your current situation.
