For many of us porn has become our go-to for stress and emotional relief. At least that is the case for me. And I don't think I need to go into why that is a problem. However, I'm finding that my replacements for unwinding at the end of the day aren't so healthy either. Usually it's video games...

So I'm in this really potentially messy living situation. I just moved and got a house with two other people, one is a guy who I hardly ever see but he seems pretty cool. The other is a friend of mine's ex. So yeah, me and this girl have kind of really hit it off. We have the same standards of...

So I relapsed twice in the last hour. It has been somewhere around 100 days. My life has been a shitstorm in the past couple weeks but I've been handling it, until now. I'm between houses so I've been at my dad's for the past 2 nights and he has a t.v. I don't normally watch tv and I don't have...

So I'm at day 95ish (I haven't been keeping track that closely) and things are going pretty good. Since I came to recognize my addiction two and a half years ago I've been slowly and painfully building better habits to improve my life and occupy my time and my mind. It seems to finally be paying...

I've had problems with sleep for most of my life but I've done everything you're supposed to do to improve sleep quality: I eat very healthy, I do physical work outside so I'm getting exercise and sun, I follow a prebed routine and go to bed at about the same time every night. Yet I still wake...

So YouTube. I just spent my day and a good part of yesterday binge watching YouTube videos though none were explicit (cracked videos mostly). And honestly I feel like shit. I guess I consider this a relapse since I've been feeding myself a steady stream of dopamine for an entire day. This feels...

I'm on about a two week streak right now and I think I'm experiencing some flatline. I've never flatlined before, despite going 4 months hard mode in the past. I wouldn't worry about it except I just started dating this woman. Our first date was great, we cooked together at her place and just...

I'm a very busy person. I do labor intensive work, I cook and prepare the majority of my food, I have a dog to look after, etc. This keeps me focused on productive tasks that improve my life and keeps my mind off of porn. However, I need a break from time to time. And those are the times where...

It's been a very long time since I've been on this site and I now have had a gf for several months. I can't say I was ever fully recovered even when I met her and I have continued to relapse through our relationship. She is aware of my problem and is supportive, but doesn't know what to do. And...

I have found that when I relapse I end up bingeing and then being stuck in my normal cycle for weeks/months before I can get myself back together. I relapsed last night and again this morning and I really don't want to be stuck in the same cycle again. Any suggestions for shutting this down and...

I recently met this woman who I have been on several dates with and we are really into each other. Our last date we made out and I got an erection just from kissing her. I really enjoy being with her and I want a serious relationship. But I don't know how fast/slow I should take it. I'm...

So I was clean for over 4 months. Last week MO'd then again two days ago then yesterday and finally today PMO'd. I feel like a total fool. I've been going on dates with an amazing, beautiful woman and it's been going very well and now I'm starting to fuck it up. Gotta nip this in the bud before...

I'm over 9 weeks into hard mode but I'm still having great difficulty with my thoughts. I still sexualize women in my head and I can't seem to help it. I do my best to think of other things but it doesn't always work. I just started class again a couple weeks ago and my campus is HUGE, like over...

Hello all! I want to share a resource that has helped me a great did both in my reboot and in life in general (of course rebooting is really about working on life in general). The resource is actually a guy name Elliot Hulse. He has two amazing youtube channels with hundreds if not thousands of...

Today marks the end of my 6th week no PMO. It has been quite the roller coaster ride. Today is a bit different though, as I have this strange feeling of emptiness inside. But it's not completely empty because I am still having cravings and such. I wish I knew how to describe the feeling but I've...

I'm coming up on my six week mark which is where I first relapsed. It seems that near the beginning of my reboots I feel really good, confident, driven, etc. but getting to this point I feel very lonely because even though I have had sex with women in the past there was never much of a...

It's been awhile since I've been on here and a lot has happened. I relapsed for the first time after about 6 weeks no PMO. At first I just MO'd one night and afterwards I felt alright and didn't think it would be a big deal. Then a week later I MO'd again. Within a couple of days I was back into...

I've made it about 6 weeks no PMO however lately I've been finding myself fantasizing about making love to women. I usually get an erection and sometimes I grind against the bed. I wouldn't consider these fantasies pornographic per se because I'm thinking about more than just mindless fucking...

So I'm about 3 weeks no PMO. The struggle is real for sure but I am confident I will be able to keep going, mostly because I am a very busy person and so I don't have much spare time to fap or watch porn. Though I try not to, I still look at women lustfully. It's really frustrating because...

Since I started fighting my addiction I can tell I've become more attractive to woman. I am already a pretty good-looking guy and women often come to me for attention. Add in the increased confidence and ability to be social that quitting PMO brings and I find that woman are all over me. At my...
