Hey nation,
since finding out about this addiction in 2012…almost a decade ago, I’ve been unable to quit. I’ve done one 94 day hard mode reboot while I was single (2012) and a few shorter runs, this is currently my best streak since the 94 dayer, and I’m not even sure what day I’m on…I’m guessing week 3 or 4. I just woke up one morning and porn was boring me and I was fed up with feeling like crap all the time.
anyway the withdrawals are usually what gets me, they are relentless - soul crushing:
Increased anxiety, depression, brain fog, no motivation, lethargic, aches and pains all over my body, suicidal thoughts and by far the worst…INSOMNIA. Nothing worse than not being able to sleep night after night.
what sadly contributed to my relapse when I was on 94 days was fellow rebooters on YBR saying that by that time I should be fully recovered and have no withdrawals so it’s not porn causing these symptoms…it’s put it into my head and I gave up because it’s just so damned hard to just keep on going with no end in sight.
now we know many guys have had extreme withdrawals for 6…12 months, and although it sucks, the only other option is to live a wasted life with porn and that is not who I want to be anymore.
peace,
Aussie.
