Restarting my Reboot

No long story, found your site, did a reboot, it was great initially, made it to 20 days, went through all the things people talk about, boost in confidence, libido, flat line, premature ejaculation, ect. Went back to porn and eventually PMO to see if the ED and premature ejaculation were there to stay, they weren't, which is nice, but then I'm hooked on porn again. Going to restart again, more comfortable knowing that my issues are physiological and not permanent. When I was in 3 weeks of my reboot, it was great.

Hope I can rely on the support of the group, this is tough to do alone, as many of you know, and I really feel P's got a strong hold on me right now. Thanks.
 
Hi macondo, welcome back to the forum. It's a great start and relapse happens. That's why it isn't considered as an easy thing to give up. Stay strong brother and you'll do it. Next time don't test anything and believe in the words said by different successful rebooters. I have been off of porn for over and month now and still adopting the new life style. I must say I am already a new person. Flatline was the hardest part and honestly it did freak me out but I didn't care; just thought the brain is taking a rest so it went away after three weeks of miserable look under the pants. Stay focused and strong and adopt the new life style. Good luck in your new but old adventure.

Hey Silent Warrior, thanks for the encouragement and for sharing your experiences. It's tough as you and many know, the shame and anxiety of relapsing, beginning from step 0. I appreciate the encouragement, it helps a lot. Good luck with your journey as well.

Having trouble focusing today, keep wanting to look up a P site really quick, but I know that will lead to trouble later. Trying. To. Stay. Focused.

Thanks for leaving message in my journey.
Hope to have a successful rebooting with your guys together.

You mentioned you feel losing focus, too. Do you have your own office, too? so you can do PMO in your office in day time?

Kobe, yeah, I work from a home office, so that's exactly right. I don't have the opportunity, but when I work from an actual office, obviously PMO is not an issue at all, neither is P. I wonder if others struggle with that. When I start to get weak, I refer back to the site, it helps. I've also set up my computer so it can't go to certain sites even if I tried, there's a way to do that, to block sites. It's def a struggle though, never hard at all to find P on the internet.

hi,

I think K9 is a good software to block the porn website.
But it also blocked a lot of other website, which makes google looks very dumb.

Since my job needs to do a lot of web searching (I work in academia, too), do you guys have any good suggestion of the blocking software? or how to use it smarter?

I am still using K9, but I might uninstall it someday, if I need to use the full power of google search. Hope I have fully reboot before that.

thanks
