Bro!!! So happy for you. Our journeys have been remarkably similar, and I’ve been following your journey for the entire year. Congrats, but keep your mind focused, wouldn’t want to see you slip up now that you have passed into the beyond. I myself will be writing a final success story thread...

Yup! I feel we all are pretty much the same in regards to how we started and our upbringing - mid teens, decent home that had a computer we could use, lots of free time. And yes, abstinence is definitely the first and hardest step. But the idea is that through abstinence you begin to discover...

Welcome brothers! I have made several posts over the course of the past 8 months detailing specific milestones in my recovery. The overall details of my starting point I have come to realize are not important, as we can all exhibit addictive and compulsive traits associated with PMO at differing...

I wanna add to what Casanova posted, maintaining strict HM in my opinion causes two real flatlines. The first is when your brain increasing the strength of the PMO pathways when you first stop PMO (weeks 2-4) before it begins shrinking then. Then as those pathways shrink and you move into the...

Yes, it’s normal. Yes, you need more time. I am now able to have sex without ED medication with my fiancé, it takes a few minutes of foreplay but it works, and I am now pushing through month 7 with no PMO and I have M’d like 4 times. I still cannot get hard with just simply touching myself — but...

Yea definitely read the article, it’s going to put a lot of things in perspective that I think are absolutely crucial to moving forward in recovery from PMO and PIED in general. Now to answer your question, there is probably a good chance that the effectiveness of the pills was reduced due to...

I concur, I like to tell people to expect flatline symptoms and sluggish libido for about 120-150 days before you will see really any sign of flatline subsiding

Congrats on deciding to take control of your future. 90 days is a major milestone, but for us 30+ year olds who have PMOd for at least half our life, it takes some serious time, and I mean 6 months at the very least, possibly close to a year to notice major improvement. 90 days for signs of...

I didn’t read the responses, but I will let you know my MW returned about 30 days into my reboot, and because I was so traumatized it was an honest, no relapse, no fantasizing reboot. I stared M before I really hit puberty, and PMO my entire life after. I had my first wet dream of my entire life...

Honestly get on Roman and get yourself some sildenaphil. Works backwards. Don’t take a full dose, and after 2/3 sexual interactions scale the dosage back. I did this and pretty much do not need a pill anymore. Sometimes the conditioning porn has done to your brain can be too great for people who...

get yourself a copy of your brain on porn, start there for sure, and try and visualize what your sex life might be like if you continue on this path, versus how much happier you will be once you are in control. I too at two different points in my life (late teens and late 20s) was deep enough in...

I’m glad to hear this man. 15 months is quite the feat. But you gotta have a partner to rewire. Doesn’t have to be a GF, but it should be someone you are comfortable with that understands you are in recovery. If done correctly, the mindset developed during rebooting can be applied to any...

I think it plays a small part, but it is still necessary. Think of it like a house of cards. Rewiring is simply one card that placed together helps build the overall house. The house of cards is our new, healthy and happy self. This goes beyond just having sex, it’s a new respect for yourself...

Holding ourselves to strict behavior patterns in my opinion defeats the entire point of rebooting. yes, I do not PMO, I do not fantasize, I don’t M and when fooling around with my fiancé I avoid O for the most part. But If you wanted to HM for 180 days but can have sex intermittently at days 90...

I’ll be making it soon; ran into some work troubles last night that ended up taking most of my day. I have been following your posts Casanova, and I have faith you will reach a place that is good for you. However, I think your goal line might need a slightly closer end zone. You might be closer...

I know for me, I am now able to get erections after a few minutes of fooling around that last and come back the same night after O. I am almost 160 days hard mode. I do mentally recognize I have a libido now.. however I don’t really fantasize about sex at all anymore, it serves no purpose and...

Just wanted to add that a full week after making this post I was able to have successful sex again without the aid of ED drugs. For about 2/3 days after the first instance I did notice tell tale signs of a “mini-flatline” but by about day 4 I was beginning to notice intense arousal in my fiancé...

Honestly dude there are several different things that all heal at separate rates. There is your libido, your attitude towards sex, partners snd self, and your ability to get and maintain an erection. Do you have a partner or at least the drive to go seek a partner? Rewiring should be your main...

Give yourself 6 months no P and no M.

Bro don’t beat yourself up. But be realistic also with yourself. 90 days to heal is beyond a myth. The average person who used porn for more than 5/6 years need 90 days to just simply weaken the pathways in their brain conditioned by porn. I imagine you still have a years worth of healing to go...
