Alittle about myself - i started PMO when i was young and i remember the days of magazines , porn channel while being scrambled.  Finally we'd get internet and i was in a PMO heaven.  I was very social kind of guy , had alot alot of friends, very outgoing.  I find myself now at 32 and i have been PMO almost everyday for the last 10-15 years and did not think too much of it.    I started become anti-social i noticed as i got more addicted to PMO and found i was not in a place where i'd like to be.  I had to make a change and i seeing huge changes so far.

I ran across YBOP website and read some of the symptons which happens to me.  I had ED and would have to self masturbate with a girl, i had brain fog almost like i couldnt think past what i wanted.  I couldn't speak coherently nor could i string witty or well thought out sentences which made communication pretty hard.  On top of that, i had the biggest anxiety ever with people which i have never had before.  I would sweat or back would sweat uncontrollably when conversing with someone.  This was strange considering i've always been very sociable kind of guy.   

1st week
I now have a kid on the way with my wife (7.5month)  and i figured change was necessary and i would cut out all PMO until i have reboot.  Let me tell you 1st week was absolutely not a problem.  No thoughts of sex , and mr happy was not interfering at all.

2nd week
I am noticing alot more awareness around me, almost like my senses has increased.  The demon inside pushes me very hard at times and i would get insomnia just thinking about it , would get up read this site until i have calmed down before i can go back to bed.  I have not waken with any woody (except to piss in the morning - unless this counts as woody) yet nor have i got any wet dreams but i noticed i am starting to fantasize more about girls whom i meet.

3rd week
The mind is the strongest and when the urges kick in , the mind will tell you anything to justify it.  The justification of getting prostitutes because the need of rebooting to real people.  This was the toughest because i felt the gratification of looking for one and i would not be able to sleep knowing i would be able to get some (dopamine overload) and i find i get too excited to sleep as much as i try to fight it. At the end i have fought it off as i watched those two videos and i believe we should kick start these bad habits, but not to take up another bad habit.

I want to become the most alpha male and this is my story to recovery.  When demons come and you are fighting it, some of the videos that i have found helped me the most.

After quitting pmo for over a month now my brain is on top alert and have never felt better! PMO has been controlling me for good 12-15 years and i am saddened the opportunities i have missed because of how this has affected me throughout. 

After 30 days of no pmo , i started fighting a new urge.  It was urge to have sex but sex with escorts and going massage parlours.  I have cut myself from last minute hookups with escorts / massage parlours.  I figured this would get myself addicted again everytime my penis needed a rush, and quitting porn just to do this is like going from a alcoholic to a crack addict if i pursued it.  Pursuing this i tell myself was unnatural, i am going to these unnatural places to get my penis to sneeze and they are trained to do this which is no better than my pmo.  The rush of meeting one is just overwhelming, the idea of having sex and the fantasizing just overhwhelms me.  I have fought it off but it has given me insomnia and hardon all day. 
Eventually i tell myself these unnatural thoughts are not on same level as my rationality and that i am giving myself excuses. I have to throw away these thoughts.  Few days of insomnia i have finally been able to think of other stuff and not bother me - calmed myself.

I am finding i dont feel "powerless" as before and i am in control! I need to fight this off to be the better man i am SUPPOSED to be! Wife and soon coming kid needs a rock in the family.

I refuse to throw away my hard work and I am loving every second of my new found self.  It is a outgoing / energetic / powerful / assertive self i am finding.  I got 12-15 years of damage but this is going very good so far.  Must live my life.

We can't change the past. The best we can do is learn from it, then move on to do better and be better.

Time to focus on being the best husband and dad that the world has ever seen. Rock their world!
