Has your recovery been too much to handle? (Libido out of control etc.)

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 14, 2019.

  1. For those who have recovered, has having a libido again been too much? As in, DAM I'm HORNY ALL THE TIME.

    I've been off porn for 4 and a half months. And been on hardmode for 120 days but relapsed 3 times within that to M no P.

    I've only had 3 days of full libido. Other than, just small windows in the day when I have a libido. Would be interesting to hear how your libido has returned as it seems to be the toughest thing to recover!

    I've gone as long as 6 months on effort and will power in recent years and am in my 40s, I think that was a short sighted approach. This time around there's emotional balance and I anticipate it being less of an issue.

    I’m on a streak of 30 days no PMO, but recently I’ve also had a high libido and urges. I try my best to keep myself conscious and I keep on motivating myself on why I’m doing NoFap. It’s tough cause there are times I got close but I still didn’t give up. I’ve also had a flatline in which I get depressed. Being sad and depressed is my top notch trigger that makes me relapse. Though during these 30 days I’ve stood strong and fought all that. I do whatever it takes to keep away triggers. I believe you can do it even when you get a high libido. Take a cold shower, go for a walk, workout, don’t stay a lone, keep your mind busy. Stay strong.

  4. Good work on the 30 days, not easy. I get you on the depression trigger; I just tell myself you're going to feel a hell of a lot worse afterwards, and that usually keeps me out of trouble.

    It's a weird one. I just don't see many posts of full recoveries saying that their libido is back. It would be good to hear people saying that its back to a similiar level that they could remember before they started watching porn!
