6 months without PMO

[Big H]

So it's me again so I've shared my initial story here http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=12614.0 on my journey towards 90 days without PMO. Time has gone so quick I didn't even realise it had been 6 months.

So I've been slowly making progress. I definitely feel a lot more confident in talking to girls. Before I had no desire at all but know I can feel the thrill (sorry that's the best way I can describe it) when I talk to girls. However, with the girl I want to ask out on a date I always pussy out when I get the opportunity.

I still struggle with motivation. Well motivation to look for work. When I try my brain gets all fuzzy. So any suggestions to help my motivation would be great. I have a hard time caring. If any needs help with overcoming PMO. I will be happy to give you advice.

I haven't progressed as quick as I would like to but I would take that any day over being addicted to porn. I feel glad and happy now but at the same time I'm sad that I wasted many of my years of life watching porn. Do all you can to overcome this. Reach deep within yourself. Hate and despise it more than anything in your life. Find no reason to ever look at it. Find out what you are missing from consuming it. Just remember you're never safe. Once an addict always an addict.

Can you tell me about erection hardness over your reboot? Did it get better? Was it even a problem? (I'm talking about when you're alone but also tell us about when with a woman)

Hi

Can you tell me how did you manage to deal with the cravings?

Sometimes I get serious withdrawal symptoms. My mind gets foggy, my heart beat rises and I'm unable to do anything productive until I give in.

Hey Tommy after 3 weeks I started getting erections and wet dreams randomly. My dick got pretty sensitive to sexual cues I normally wouldn't get aroused by. As for with women I can't help you out there.

Hey bhustler whenever I would get an urge I would either do weights or go for a bike ride. An urge is like a three legged stool. When one of the legs are off the first thing your body will do is try and use porn as the leg replacement. However, after a while if you don't give in your body will use something else to replace the leg. I found when I did those things the urge would eventually go away. If you get an urge at night I would have a cold shower (hell I think normal showers worked for me). You don't have to do exactly what I did but have a backup plan prepared for future urges.
