May 2025 Update (Day 0) Haven't visited this site in 6 months, so this will be a longer update. Also updated my thread title, since I'm not 22 anymore haha and it's also not my last reboot attempt. Unfortunately today marks another Day 0. I've sort of accepted over the last few months though...

Returning Update (Day ~45-50) Hi guys, another very overdue update. Like I mentioned in my last post, summer 2024 was really bad for my PMO addiction. Things sort of got a bit better in September, but very on and off. Current streak In October, I got really busy with some weekend trips and...

Day 0 Another one month update, unfortunately not a great one. The rest of July was mostly okay, maybe 3 relapses in the first few weeks. The last week of July and first week of August, I completely fell into binges. Once the first relapse happened, it felt like there was no point in resisting...

Day 0 Was doing not great for June, maybe about 5 relapses in the month. Unfortunately not starting July out great, as I'm on a bit of a binge right now. A number of things are not going great in life right now, which really puts down my motivation to fight urges and stay clean. Writing this...

Day 22 Another smooth week. Didn't think about PMO at all, except a few small urges this morning. The key for me really seems to be staying busy socially, and/or exercising. I think when I feel socially or physically unfulfilled, I start to spiral and that leads to PMO as a coping mechanism...

Day 16 Thanks @TryingHarder, I appreciate the encouragement. Out of curiosity, did you also have issues with mood on accutane? This week was much better. I was actually pretty stressed out and in poor mood, but I kept busy with friends or running and didn't entertain the idea of porn at all.

Day 10 Wow, didn't realize it's been a month and a half since my last update. Unfortunately, it was relapse after relapse the whole time. Had a couple week long streaks separated by days of binging. Almost feels like I'm back to square one. My mood has also been pretty crappy. I've felt...

Day 1 Full blown PMO relapse yesterday, twice. First time looking up actual porn in 6 months : ( Not much to say right now, I'll write a proper post once I gather my thoughts.

Day 2 PMO/Urges Another frustrating update - Slipped up with another MO on Monday morning. Just woke up with urges out of nowhere, and made the mistake of doomscrolling first thing in the morning on Reddit/Insta. Didn't see anything overtly pornographic, but saw a few posts that were...

Day 36 PMO/Urges This week was smooth sailing, until a few days ago. I had a random wet dream, even though I don't remember having a sexual dream. It kick started a mini series of urges over the past few days, and I once caught myself starting to fantasize and I wanted to browse risky sites. To...

Keep it up brother. Is there anything you can do to prevent situations where you're prone to relapse? Like not taking your phone to bed, or working out at night to burn off excess energy?

Day 27 PMO/Urges I had another really good week in terms of urges. Was pretty busy and out of the house most of the time, so no time to be tempted. Unfortunately, the club I've been busy with at uni is ending for the term in a week, so my social pool is gonna shrink pretty dramatically... I...

Day 19 Smooth sailing the past week. Still been pretty busy with social events, so not much time to be alone with temptations. In a bit of a weird place mentally though. My anxiety levels are so much lower than pre-reboot that I'm having some trouble with rebalancing my motivation, desires...

Let's go! Keep it up

Day 13 Thanks TryingHarder. I know everyone has different standards for relapse. Personally, I'm trying to be in control of my sexual urges in general, including avoiding thirst traps or fantasizing about porn. But certainly I'm glad that it wasn't a full PMO relapse. Things are going pretty...

Hi McNutty, hope you're hanging in there!

Hey mountain goat, hope you're hanging in there. I think it's great that you've talked to friends and identified your triggers and underlying fears and factors that led to replase. One thing that might help motivate you to get back on track is thinking of all the positive emotions and results...

Wishing you all the best, worth_it! In my experience, I found it best not to beat myself up about the streak length, and view it more about simply fleeing from porn and fighting the urges, one day at a time. If you've already made it to 30 day streaks, then I believe you have more than enough...

Day 7 (Longest streak: 117 days) Well, I'm not too thrilled to write this update, but I want to keep myself accountable. So a couple Fridays ago, I was lying in bed mindlessly scrolling through YT shorts and Instagram, and ended up getting triggered by a few posts, which weren't necessarily...

Day 111 Thanks for the encouragement, TryingHarder and mountain_goat. This week went a lot better than the last. I've been trying to go to the gym more often, especially when I have urges. I had some brain fog throughout the week, which I haven't had in a while. But I had a good week in terms...
