Greetings... Some of you may remember me from last year when I went on my journey to recover from porn addiction... I made it to 10 weeks, 64 days to be exact then unfortunately made a huge mistake by going on to social media then relasped shorty after....Would have never made it that far if I didnt have the support of this website and its forum.... I am here once again this year starting my final reboot to recover from this despresing addiction... Hope to have your support like I did last year... Heres my original story... GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! WE CAN DO THIS

Story: I started finding and watching porn at 19 years of age.
I guess you can call me a late bloomer... I used to be this charming high schooler who got his share of girls. Ever since I graduated high school (2012) later that year I made the biggest mistake in my life and discovered porn.. It became a habit so bad that it was destroying my life... My social life with women, friends, family.... I was losing respect from my boys because I couldnt get females at all like I used to and was to shy and didn't have any social skills to talk to them... I also noticed my soldier getting lifeless and weak and would shrivel.. That's when I decided to quit... Been failing for 3 years straight.
I found Reboot nation and Yourbrainonporn the beginning of last year and thats when I stated watching Reboot Nation videos and reading and learning on YBOP reading success stories and etc.. Now I have started my reboot process once more and trying to make it my last!! Im more determined than ever and now more educated about the flatline and how the brain  will crave and try to negotiate.. But I will stick with it and just block it out... On Week 2 and I will succeed this time.. If the women aint real than no deal

Day 1: My first day and my brain is already trying to screw with me but I have to much experience to let it get to me... Woke up very early around 3:30 am having some horny dreams... Got up at 4 and started my day from there... Lifted weights while listening to inspirational music in my headphones.. Did some laundry then after that took a walk around the neighborhood around 8am... Trying to stay productive all day and barely be in the house... Last year I lost my job shortly after relapsing so it would probably be harder to stay busy this year more than last year... But I will take this challenge head on because I?m ready to get rid of this despressing addiction for good.... For the rest of the day I am probably going to take another walk and eat lunch.. Who knows what ill get myself into tonight... Good Luck for everybody trying to recover doing a reboot!!! We got this!!!!!

good luck man, keeping busy and staying out of the house is the best distraction maybe go look for a job if you have a lot of free time. the thing that helped me most starting my reboot is deleting all the porn on my computer including links and favorites on my browser, remove temptation and get some filters. you got this GL.   

 

[Recovery Will Come]

Thanks man yes definitely looking for a job... Deleted all my porn on my browser and everything... Its time to reach my full potential... Continue to be great and good luck to you!!!

Does anybody happen to have a account on yourbrainrebalanced? I tried signing up multiple times but it keeps saying that the CATCHPA verification is an error when it comes to answering the verification question.. Is my response not good enough? I don?t understand....

Clean your facebook to only important stuff to you.
no girls on yt, netflix, wherever
No checing out girls
No stalking nice girls on FB
No insta with nice girls
NO triggers long story short

If u will take away fuel the PMO fire will stop blow in a huge manner and will change into smoking rubbish.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice.. I did just that it?s time to get over this addiction and move on with my life.... It?s going to be a war but I?m willing to fight it...

 

[Recovery Will Come]

Officially Day 1: Relasped right after my last day 1 and I bounced back and I am officially starting my day 1 today... I woke up early put some motivational music on while I lifted weights in my room... Took a walk this morning  which I?ll be doing every morning since it helped me with my reboot last year.. Attended church with my family which was a great and positive start to begin my final reboot... About to eat an early dinner in a few also... My brain is already trying to mess with me
constantly but ignored every single one of them because I know what to expect... This is just part of the process... I am also grateful that I am experienced now I know what not to do when I make it to 10 weeks this time around... I am looking forward to beating this addiction with all of you together... We got this!!! Good Luck to all!!!!!!

Good luck to you and thanks for helping me out, your positive attitude will definitely help and you get back on track... the important thing is not giving up, just read a great quote by Thomas Edison who said: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

And that's it: We need to keep searching for our way out of this addiction no matter how often it may seem to win!

 

[Recovery Will Come]

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I found this process hard but last year I learned it?s not impossible... I was weeks away from the infamous day 90... I now have more experience and know
what to expect and what not to do when I finally reach that point again!!! If I can make it to 64 days I have no doubt in my mind I can reach 90 days and beyond... We will get through this and will always support your journal!! Continue to be great and keep on trucking!!!

Day 2: Decided to start my journal earlier in the day... It?s pouring rain outside so I guess this is one of the boring in the house days.. Trying to keep my my mind clear of porn flashbacks and urges... Eating much healthier food which I can tell is gonna help me in the long run... I don?t think I?ve ever been as focused in a reboot as I am right now this time around and thats saying something because
last year I was pretty damn focused... Much success for anybody doing their reboot journey and good luck!!!

Day 3: Went out to vote for the state primary early in the morning...  Went for my daily walk after.... I also start out every day lifting weights and listening to motivational music... Going to the Gym soon in the next couple of days to get a real workout like I did in my 2016 reboot but that was before I was a member of this website and writing in my journal daily.. Really wish I had this at the time but luckily I have it now... Starting day 4 today took my daily walk and ate breakfast... I noticed it was also easier for me to count weeks instead of days because when you count days it seems much longer.. Every week is a milestone for me that?s how I look at it... Week 1, Week 2, Week3 etc... Of course I?m going to post in my journal daily then I?m going to live life and stay busy I can... Although I probably won?t post on this journal again until Week 2 unless I absolutely need to... For all rebooters keep on trucking!!!! Time to get rid of this addiction for good and live our lives to the fullest!!! Good Luck

Knew I said I wouldn?t post til next week but had to almost relasped... Today and Monday have really been tough for me... I don?t know why.. I haven?t even gotten to 5 days and already struggling... Last year I felt I passed the first two weeks wouldn?t say easily but much easier than this reboot.. Went outside and had to take huge deep breaths... I am still moving forwards after I calmed myself down.. Anyhow good luck!!

Stay strong, this is the chaser effect due to the latest relapse, I am struggling with the same on day 4. Keep walking!
