It's a gradual process with many ups and downs comparable to getting fit. You don't wake up one day knowing that you are completely better. I think the following overall signs are a good indication that you have rebooted 1. long and hard erection when having vanilla sex with a sexual partner 2. regular morning wood 3. you don't watch porn anymore 4. you don't masturbate anymore 5. mental clarity However, bear in mind that you are never done and will always be a porn addict. So don't lay back and celebrate your victory after rebooting, because a single binge can bring you back to hell again. It's like being obese and then having a sixpack after 8 months of hard training and following a healthy life style. The moment you lay back, will be the moment you will start slipping back and ending up obese again.
Morning wood is not an indicator of reboot, its an arbitrary number of minimum 90 days, and if you want my opinion, you can never ever go back to porn ever again.
Thanks all for your inputs. I am on day 36, and still on a flat line. No sensation, erection or morning wood. I am scared if I would even get it up again..
Well said bro and I totally agree with you. I would rather be dead than to go back to my pmo lifestyle, never again.
There is no turning back. The bridge has fallen. To conquer addiction you must conquer your mind. Either you rule your mind or it will rule you. Being the slave of your own desires is no way to live. Take over control for life!
Please remember that everyone is different. Age, health status, psychological factors - all of them contribute to things such as if you have morning wood or not. Men develop ED whether or not they have been addicted to porn, as I am sure you know. Give it time, but don't be shy to see a doctor eventually if things aren't going well for you. Best of luck to you.
Even though I am trying hard, I feel like I fail a little bit every day. I am glad to you posted, because it gives me some extra inspiration!
Really because I have gone over a month before my morning wood returned, and I am not even talking about how long a reboot is I am saying mw is a sign your reboot is working.
its been almost 2 weeks since my last morning wood, im on day 81,do you think the brain is rewiring it self??
Thanks a lot for your comments. I discovered something strange, I am usually half awake at about 3:30 AM and I could feel a boner.... Hopefully this is a positive sign
