    208 days of sobriety but more depressed than ever

    208 days since I last viewed P or MB and around 2 weeks since I last binged on junk food (my other addiction) - why do I feel more dead inside than ever? Has a life of intense stimulation made me unable to be satisfied with the normal things in life? I don't want to discourage anyone embarking...

    The Opposite of what you'd expect (after 98 days)

    Hi guys It has been 98 days since I last viewed P, and in the last week, I have been having trouble with erections (marital sex) - this is a new thing. Giving up P is supposed to improve erections, but in my case, it seems to have done the opposite. Anyone else experienced this? I am not sure if...

    After 112 days, I CHOSE to drop the ball

    Yes, today I have slipped up 4 times. Why did I do it? Not sure I have a deep and meaningful answer but I take full responsibility for it and I made the decision to drop the ball. If I have to guess what made me do it, I would say it was the fact that I have not really been happier or more well...

    35 days clean but not a new man

    Hello from a fellow struggler in Scotland (albeit of Italian heritage). I have not looked at P and MB'd in 35 days, but I feel strangely empty. All of the undesirable aspects of my being which I attributed to P and MB are still with me. ie: irritability, lack of self esteem, apathy towards my...
