    What’s up guys

    My libido came back probably completely, and I’m so fucking lust recently. I’m on 277 day of my reboot, but I'm afraid I could do something I should not do... Can you remind me what during rehab should not be done? I know about different things, but there are things I do not know what to think about.
    E.g I have been thinking a lot about women lately, but not in a sexual way. Is it acceptable? Tell me what I can do and what should not do. Some of you can say something from your experience.
     
  2. Man, I am happy to hear your libido came back I’m still frickin waiting. Did it slowly come back gradually or was it suddenly? Just keep persevering and whatever you do don’t watch porn!!!

  3. If i think about something I would regret I will instead start reading aloud. May help for you too.

    I'm glad to hear your improvment.

    Sir, how did you get to day 459? Did you experience a lot of relapses when trying to quit PMO? I'm still struggling, and its been nearly 8 months since I tried to stop, but I just cant seem to quit cold turkey. Any help is much appreciated, Sir!

  5. It took me five a bit years to get serious, I ultimately had to come to a point where I couldn’t function with debilitating withdrawal symptoms. In my own experience mate, honestly, relapsing even whilst on long streaks you don’t make no progress.

    Only when you commit to never watching porn never again and recovering properly with lifestyle changes will you notice things getting better. It can take a long time. Best wishes.

    Hey Big Lebowski! Nice post. So I am doing hard mode monk style. Have you come across any other people that have gotten rid of PIED in hard mode. I understand it is hard as people are relapsing but you think hard mode has been good for you. Also have you any advice on adrenal fatigues as well on the body from NoFap..

    I think you should not use dating sites.

    I started using one the last month, and seeing all those women make me crave to go with an escort...

    it came back gradually. It started coming back somewhere in August. it looked like I just started to pay attention to women again, but only recently I begin to feel a real sex drive. earlier I could look at the female breasts and butt without being lust. Now I can’t.

    How long was it "gone", your libido/the lustful desire? 9 months without it or did it come in waves or various times?

    At the beginning I had libido for about a month, then it went away and for a time I didn’t feel sexual drive, I was generally without spirit, I didn’t feel emotions, I didn’t care about anything. Later, every now and then, I felt the moments in which I felt worse, as if all withdrawal symptoms appeared in one moment. When the symptoms subsided, I felt better. It can be said that it came in waves. There comes a moment when it is very bad and after a couple of days it’s much better, the libido returns gradually after each that moment. I had a few these "moments". It is generally better after each these moments. As if it revealed what was hidden by pmo.

    Do you think that thinkin about women e.g about kissing, about their beauty (not in sexual way) is bad? For example, I met a nice and pretty girl and It happen to think about those things but not only about this girl.
     
  12. That's exactly how it is for me besides the libido in the beginning. It feels like the symptoms starting again as in the beginning. Symptoms like head tingling sensation or nerves heating, shaking and dizziness, weight on and off or my palms changing color in red and turn back normal. Then they vanished and I felt good a lil bit. Return again so on and so... Sometimes I feel like giving up as the symptoms playing Marco polo with me.

    Exactly! It’s fascinating in a sense.

    Totally agree about this. I eliminated P completely in my last 120 day streak but was using Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge like crazy I think to get a dopamine hit any way that I could. This led me to some of the girl’s Instagram pages where the process continued. The mind has a very weird way of getting what it wants. Eliminating screen time as much as possible I think is a smart way to to go about a reboot.
