    Reboot Journal

    Really struggling today with withdrawals. Just this super low motivation and a sickly feeling throughout my body. I’m sleeping longer/better however I’m less energised and rested upon waking - strange considering I’ve lived off of 4 hours a night since my daughter was born. Im starting to...

    Fully recovered in 200 days!

    First of all man congrats, well deserved! dont stress on not being able to O. Could be a multitude of things from your brain still re-wiring or subconscious pressure on yourself to O “this is weird why can’t I O” type thing. Also if you do O and it feels weak, don’t let it worry you. After...

    Is our relationship going to survive this? Please help!

    Lots of great responses here, not knowing how long recovery will take is the hardest part of porn addiction - the only other similar recovery time frames I’ve read about is methamphetamine - a heavy long term user may take 2/3 years worse case scenario to fully get back to baseline brain...

    Debilitating Horrible Withdrawals - The #1 Relapse Cause?

    Hey nation, since finding out about this addiction in 2012…almost a decade ago, I’ve been unable to quit. I’ve done one 94 day hard mode reboot while I was single (2012) and a few shorter runs, this is currently my best streak since the 94 dayer, and I’m not even sure what day I’m on…I’m...

    Depression . . . (help me)

    Hey, remember masturbating over ANY images/video is “porn”. It’s artificial stimuli that’s hijacking your brain.

    Reboot Journal

    Hey nation, I’m back! after months of going back into the dark bottomless Pitt, I’m back to change my life for good. I’m around 3/4 weeks into a hard mode reboot, I haven’t been counting the days, I reached a point where I was miserable and just stopped… some things I’ve learnt, I can’t...

    How Shall We Escape?

    100% in agreeance that some things are better of not being told. Cheating, physically should be confessed to in my opinion, but porn use, cam sites, even sexting -  may just end the relationship when no actual physical sexual acts have been done. Although the guilt is tough, use it as...

    How Shall We Escape?

    It's a very honourable thing to do, stick around well after recovery. That's why people like Gabe deserve some kind of distinguished service to mankind medal. Personally, and I hope this doesn't come across as selfish - I plan on writing a detailed success story - posting it here, on YBR...

    How Shall We Escape?

    Hey mate, Sorry to hear of your struggles - quite a life story to say the least. I can somewhat relate, although you sadly had it much worse. I was homeless periodically 3 times, never sleeping on the streets though thankfully, couch surfing at friends places - strict parents thinking kicking...

    Reboot Journal

    Hey guys, I first discovered the nofap/YBOP community around 6 or so years ago. At that time i was in my late twenties, living in my bedroom at my parents house, unemployed, no car, single, no life. My days literally revolved around edging for insane amounts of time - at least 7 or so hours a...
