    I think if done properly most reboots should take no longer than 5 years, but everyone's case is going to be different. You have to consider the persons addiction strength, their lifestyle choices, diet, willpower etc. These things will all have a bearing on how long a persons recovery is going to take. So if you take all of these things into consideration, there isn't enough concrete evidence to confirm that all reboots will be under 5 years.

    It makes sense to wait until each persons recovery is over and then reflect on their overall journey to understand the length of PAWS recovery. Until people start to make full recoveries from this thread, all statements around how long recovery can, will or should take is an estimate.

    There are three options;
    1) Keep going through hell and live with a hope that things will get better.
    2) Return back to the old ways. PMO as much as you want.
    3) kill oneself like you said.
    We are here because we don't want to take actions 2 and 3. We want to recover. It's really painful at times I know. But why not just live a pure life and surrender our self to god. He will take care of us. Keep going through hell man. Embrace the pain and do the best you can with your life. There is no other option :(

    Leave recovery to god. He will do whatever he wants. Just surrender. I'd say, don't even desire to recover coz desire is the cause of suffering. ;)

    It is a common symptom of masturbation if the penis is flaccid even if it is extreme porn

    You have asked this exact same question 3 weeks ago in a separate thread. I answered your question, as did other people. You seem to just ignore responses and ask the same question again.

    Everyday I seem to see the same if not similar questions from you. If it is not a question, it is a display of complaining, moaning and/or self pity about your recovery.

    Nobody here can help you until you can start helping yourself @Ronlomre. If you are looking for success stories, go and find them on the internet instead of waiting for someone to bring them to you.

    It has already been said, this is a space for people who are actively trying to recover. Instead of whining about your recovery and blaming God, use that energy to read and understand your reboot and help yourself and others.

    You are far from the worst case and can recover, but you have to start listening, reading and taking steps to recover instead of clogging up the forum with questions already answered.

    Again: use this space so you can actively try to recover.

    Sorry @Ronlomre, you're going through a very difficult time. I hope you can handle the pain of paws and the suffering it gives us. Good luck, and don't give up! Wishing you the best in your journey.

    I was ignorant before. My flatline appeared before a PMO, I didn't know what happened at that time, I ignored it, maybe I was on the flat line at that time, I still maintained PMO in later years, and I started NOFAP last year. Now I feel insensitive, will I be the most serious case, so that I can't recover? I don't know what to do

    Why suddenly everyone wondering if they are the worst case?
