Keep going my friend. Fix yourself first, love yourself second, and the anxiety will inevitably melt away. You're doing great.

Sorry to hear that the guy - I PMO'd last night too.  Stayed up till 2 doing it and couldn't get to sleep afterwards so am exhausted.  I am recommitting to recovery though.  I know we can both do this!  Wishing you the very best,

Will.

Day 2 - No PMO/M/O/HS
Hi Guys.  Well I went on a hook up site on Sunday.
But, I want to tell you all something.  While I go on hook up sites, I'm usually looking for some action.  I've never been interested in sex like this before and I'm not sure its bad but I'm not sure its good either.  I'm undecided and I keep going on here to see where I end up.

BUT, one thing I am sure of.  Quitting PMO has been the best thing in the world!!!!  Its been at least 4 months now.  That's about 120 days free of hard core, on demand porn.  Awesome!  I don't feel anxiety like I used to, I am getting my confidence back and I don't waste hours and hours every single week watching stupid porn.  Even better, I don't think about porn or PMO any more at all.  I don't get the feeling like I need to go and watch porn even when I'm tired or angry or for any reason.  PMO is not only not an option, I don't even think or care about it anymore.  Its like it doesn't exist and to me it doesn't.

SO I CAN HONESTLY SAY I THINK MY REWARD CIRCUITRY IS BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE - PRE PORN.  I FEEL GREAT.

DAY 180 NO PMO HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Well guys, those of you who have been following me might know that I haven't been able to kick hook up sites.  But that's a very different game to porn.
So in 4 days I will be exactly 6 months without having PMO, without having watched porn, without having wasted hours of my day, without having PMO and feel like shit, without the days of dopamine depression after watching porn.
Here's what I've found now I've been free of PMO:
Social Anxiety: Down 75%!!!
University Marks: Up 25%!!!
Self Confidence: Up 80%!!!
Feel like I can get a girlfriend: yes.

Don't get me wrong I still have bad days, but damn I feel so so so very much better now.  Despite all the difficulties in life I am much happier and feel much better for having got rid of porn.

Give yourself the life you deserve and stop watching porn.
