Honestly at this stage, u can barely find the time to write a journal or sth like that cos u'll get super busy with life(I mean real life.). I've almost forgotten what I went through at the early stages but if it's gonna be of help, despite all the university stuff I'm busy with, I'll try my best to post a thread like that.

Really appreciate your words! Glad you're here too :)

"Someone that's very respectable in our community", this means a lot man, I mean A LOT!

Sincere high praise. The community or newer guys need to know where to look for examples of success. So glad you're here!

That's amazing my friend. What would be very interesting to me: Do you still feel like entering different stages now? I mean at the beginning we feel very much difference between like 2 weeks, a month, 2 months, 90 days and so on. So do you still feel a general difference between like 200 days and 450+? And why?

Thanks man. I can certainly say that there is a huge difference. After a year, relapsing isn't an option. It just doesn't happen. There were a few super sad times I had that I was so angry I wanted to give it all up but I couldn't, I don't why exactly but it's like ur mind has so much control over u that urges can do nothing even at the saddest times.

I've gained so much becos of this quitting that I don't wanna lose it all again and it's my mind knows better than me what I went through and it just doesn't let me. Read ur status and I'm sry for that reset but these resets will eventually lead up to that full abstinence. Don't worry about it but don't let it stop u from breaking ur previous record, it's just worth it.

Sry if I missed some words while typing, that's becos I'm so sleepy right now and I typed them rapidly. Wonder why the edit option doesn't work for me and gives me an error everytime. "The request comment could not be found" (Weird)!!!

Hey, thank you so much for your answer. Yes this reset didn't come very surprisingly to be honest. I can relate to what you say about relapse after such a long time. Before the reset I looked up Psubs and even Porn, but I didn't give in to it that day. It just seemed pointless and ridiculous. I didn't want to go back there.

But a few days later I still couldn't resist the urge to MO. Probably all the seen pictures and the feeling you take away from it influenced me there. Anyway, I feel like I didn't really lost this streak, because I didn't use Porn and revived the whole circle, if you know what I mean. Cause PMO brings crazy cravings with it and after the MO the chaser effect was quite gentle, cause it's not that a huge 'escape'.

Anytime bro. It's definitely a plus not MOing to porn but I also think that the images were still there in ur mind and somehow made this happen. Cos even now if I look at stuff the images and the effect remains for like days and that's why it may happen like once each 2-3 months and I don't find any reason watching those stuff.

When u reach the level that u don't find any reason to watch porn and it just seems purely pointless and u feel like other stuff matter more that's when u're totally disconnected from it. Of course if I start watching porn like everyday even at this stage, I will most probably relapse but the thing is that I just can't bear watching them and wasting my time on them, that why I'm pushing forward.

Being +200, +300, +400 or more doesn't mean absolute freedom from MO and guarantee that u won't fall ever again cos if we're exposed to so much of those stuff again, it's very likely to relapse. So when I thought that the exposure is taking too long I stopped it immediately. But after a year u'll probably be like me, not having a reason to watch them.

That's great my friend. You can be really proud of yourself to have entered this level of self-acceptance. It's really a huge inspiration. :) I'm happy for you, you deserve it.

Thanks for ur kind words. :) U definitely have the potential to enter this stage too, u've proved it. Good luck on ur path friend.

Thanks for getting him going, @vibemaker!

@TheRevenant I wonder if pmo is "not an option" in summary: because you've been able to find other, more valuable/meaningful things in life?

Also, @vibemaker and @TheRevenant.. I do think failure is always possible. Don't let psubs or fantasy or whatever else erode your resolve once you've build that fortress domain within! :)

U'll definitely get busy with more interesting stuff. And yes, there is always the possibility for failure but likelihood decreases significantly as u progress further and it's more under control and if u fail at my stage it means u fought really hard to just relapse cos relapsing isn't ez at this stage.
