Hello, fellow rebooters.
I am a 22-year-old male and I have been on this forum for the last 4 months or so. I was initially a 'lurker' but then I started participating in some threads and today I decided to open up my journal- just because I felt like it.
I have been addicted to pornography (tube sites) since I was 10 years old. Tried to give it up many times but couldn't successfully do so. In December 2020 I discovered that I have PIED because of my addiction. After that day I refused to indulge in pornography and have been successful at it so far. I have been on a streak of 123 hard-mode days right now. I did see significant progress with regular morning wood, random semis and days of feeling nearly fully cured. I have had 4 wet dreams- the first three porn-related with diminishing intensity and frequency and the last one being without any porn image. I haven't had MW in the last one week or so (though probably that's because I wake up a bit too far from my REM cycle). And I don't have a partner at the moment.
What are my goals for this journey? Well, to begin with, honestly I started it just to get rid of my PIED but now I understand that this is the opportunity for me to do a complete overhaul and transformation of my life and that is what I have been doing ever since. I do Yoga, meditation, weight training, hang out with friends each evening and talk to women on the phone (since - pandemic). I have started studying more and have my exams coming up in October.
My ultimate goal remains to have healthy PIV intimacy (without condom troubles since that was the case previously) and my immediate goal is to study for my exams and then find a partner to rewire with. I will be updating my journey here.
Good luck, everyone.
