Congrats!!! Day 90 is such a accomplishment… I’m still early in my reboot but this is very inspiring… 64 days is my longest streak but definitely gonna surpass that and go all the way…. Your story is so inspirational thanks for sharing!!

Day 92 - Treated myself to an MO last night - strictly touch only with no imagination. One of the best O's I've ever had! I don't feel like I've regressed today either, I'm still happy! Concentration and memory are still improving for sure, I'm on the up!

I love it man! Glad to see you're still kicking ass.

You're definitely right about how good an O feels when you haven't had one in a long time. I don't think nature/God designed us to experience that all the time, 24/7.

Keep killing it!

Nice job Smoken!

What is your next goal you're aiming for? Are you thinking one month at a time or something else? I know for me, 90 days was a big deal, but it was imperative after achieving that to set my sights on another goal, so as to keep my momentum going and moving constantly forward. I like to visualize that day and imagine how I will feel when I get there. How will it feel in your body to be 120 days clean? Can you visualize that? Can you feel the excitement in your heart just thinking about it? Can you hype yourself up just thinking about? This is a good exercise because if you do it often enough, you can almost trick your brain to thinking you've alreadly accomplished it.

It's kind of cheesy but if it works, why not??

The best to you man!

Tbf I actually do the opposite! I completely forget that I have a daily journal until I come to do it! I keep myself busy with life so I don't crave p!

100% Truth my man! Since rebooting I've found MO to be quite unsatisfying. Though it's different as I have a partner to rewire with, every time I've done it, it's led to bad days and sort of a small flatline. I've decided, for now, to just abstain from helping myself.

You'll find that balance. You've done an incredible job so far. Keep that shit up

Day 96 - Did an MO last night, not feeling as good as I was. I think I need to really stay strict with MO for a few more months at least. However, I'm still doing pretty good! Life is SO much better with no porn!

Hell yeah my dude, I can see your motivation / strength to stay away from P gets stronger every day

I'm pretty convinced P is the problem vs. MO. Makes sense for those of us who have been trapped with P to avoid it all for at least 90 days but long-term, I don't see anything wrong with MO (that's what our ancestors have done for thousands of years!). Although my problem is being that one guy who furiously waxes the paddle (vs. slow strokes which mimic actual sex). Just gotta MO normally standing up & sitting down I think but who knows -- you're way farther along on this process

Quick question -- when masturbating, did you do it to sensation alone or thinking of a specific girl in your life (romantic or otherwise)? I've never masturbated to sensation alone, 99% of the time it was with P and 1% of the time I tried without P and it was not really easy maintaining an erection. First time I started with M was with P so that probably has something to do with it. Just curious

I strictly use touch and sensation alone! No imagination at all, I have a theory that imagining sex with a woman strengthens the porn wiring!
