I haven't posted in here for a while.. My last reboot I went 10 weeks.. 64 days and relapsed.. Decided to check my social media which was a huge mistake and never will it be made again.. Ive been trying to bounce back since then which was June but has failed multiple times.. Am I the only one that has to have there libido feel just right to Reboot again and not feel uncomfortable? Maybe its just me.. Anyway this is my first time here in months since the relaspe and I'm trying to start again.. I just hate trying to reboot in the fall beacuse it over laps into Winter.. But this is do or die and i'm ready to get over this addiction once and for all!!!

Enlighten me... Why is it so bad for it to go into winter? I'm not sure I understand.

Anyway, I had the same thing happen to me with Facebook a couple weeks ago and it made me relapse too. Facebook is off my phone now. It's kind of reassuring to know I'm not the only one it's happened to, especially after getting pretty far into a reboot. It was only 37 days for me, but I'd never gone that long before and was already starting to feel some signs of healing.
It ended up being more of a confirmation for me than anything. The libido I'd begun to feel coming back died on me again (aside from the chaser effect) and even as I was watching P I was like, "This isn't even good; it's staged and scripted and made for no other reason than to provide unrealistic novelty and support fantasy. This is pathetic that I'm even watching this shit. And now I've gone and broken myself again from doing this. Great. See if I ever do this again."
It was a good experience to learn about some of the things I'd been doing wrong that would help my reboot be successful once I changed them.

I still have no real libido, figured I wouldn't have any after the relapse anyway... Just gotta seek rewiring and not worry about how long the healing process is going to take. And not get excited about healing, and not let yourself have a voyeuristic mindset. Those last two are the next level of the mind game that I figured out I needed to master. Which really just involved a voluntary paradigm shift, aided by some videos from Noah's channel.

You got this, bro! Porn is not an option!

I guess just for me it's harder to get out and do more things and stay busy because of the weather.. I'm from the east coast especially when its snowing.. But i'll definetly find a way to get through it I would just prefer the spring/summee for the rebooting process.. But thanks for the support and wisdom.. I made it 10 weeks and for my next reboot I plan on going all the way...

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I can see that. Well if you can get a good start before the weather turns bad, it should still be easier than starting from day 1 while cooped up with nothing to do.
