I just started this thing, Ive been watching porn since I was 14, about 11 years. Sometimes it would be weeks in between and other times itd be 3-4 times a day. This last year or 2 its been consistent. 1-2 times a day, every night. I recently found the most wonderful girl in the world. I told her about my issue because I have given myself P.I.E.D. and for her and myself I know I need to stop. I great for a little over a week and broke that record last night, i woke up with the worst feeling in my stomach, cursing myself. She doesnt deserve to deal with a man like myself, Im insanely blessed to have found her. I just ask for your prayers to stay strong and any tips or help, I didnt think this deal was as real as it is.
Congrats on signing up comrade, I commend you! You are incredibly brave for telling your girl and this forum about your troubles, realizing that you need to change things in your life is one of the first steps to recovery. I know its hard, but don't beat yourself up about your failings, instead be happy with yourself that you've taken steps to make improvements. I will pray for you, stay strong.
That means a lot, my friend. Thank you! The funny part is I was a pill addict for over 2 years, 2 rehabs, a bunch of therapy lol. I kicked that addiction over night, literally and now this masturbation one is worse. I will continue to stride and continue to work towards my goal. I want my girlfriend to know I find her attractive in every way. I pray youre doing well with your journey, what ever it may be!
If you were able to kick your pill addiction before, you will be able to do this as well, just like many others here. My journey is a lot like yours, a long time PMO addiction that I'm absolutely sick of. I'm currently on a 90 day reboot, on the third day currently, reading stuff like this really gives me hope and courage, never give up the battle friend.
Quick question, I have seen PMO on here and other forums, what does that stand for ? But good for you man!! Thats great. Has it been noticeable at all or not as much? Keep on keepin' on!
Take a look at the glossary: https://www.NoFap.com/glossary/ "PMO: Porn/Masturbation/Orgasm. They come together like a Happy Meal and the toy." Thank you! I will definitely keep going. Things I've noticed so far in my journey is bad dreams, (dreams involving porn (P)), and unpredictable moments of craving, sometimes light, other times heavier. But being active on this forum has helped me to endure it, Its so great to see so many people in a single place, talking so openly about their struggle, it has a very motivating effect. Also, take a look at the Panic button at the very top of the forum page, it can really help during difficult moments.
