20 Something Reboot

[SmokenMirrors]

Hi @SmokenMirrors. Very interested where you get to on the no MO thing. You said you did your first 90 days clean so you understand discipline. Are you waiting to see how you feel if you can get to 90 again? I am on 20 currently and aiming for my PB which is 46 days. Can’t wait to feel the pain.

Im going to abstain from MO wherever possible, I am a much more rounded individual without MO!

If you have trouble sleeping, drink 1 glass of milk before sleeping as milk contains serotonin which induces sleep.

They say 'warm milk' too, right? I've also heard that bananas help, and certain teas...

Yep but avoid teas as they too can cause problems like it can decrease your blood haemoglobin level and if taken in excess it can cause some problems related to bowel movements. I sound like a health nutritionist!

Day 148 - Feeling good!
Day 34 of no MO
I highly recommend abstinence from MO, the benefits are truly sensational!

Hey man, on the sleep thing -- go get your blood tested. If you're low in magnesium then supplement with that as it helps with sleep a lot. Otherwise, exercise as that helps a lot

Day 149 - Still doing well! I'm consistently motivated enough to progress my life goals now!

And, teas can make you get up and pee in the middle of the night, breaking up your sleep! (forgot about that )

Day 150 - Satisfying number! I'm still working on filling the void that porn used to fill, happiness is coming back and life is good!

Hi guys, I figured keeping a journal would help me and hopefully others with my recovery. First off, a bit of context:
22 years old
Used PMO since 11 (started off 6 times a day until about 13 when it significantly dropped to twice daily, then from 16 onwards once daily)
Realised I had a problem when I stopped enjoy O with women (never had ED problems but I've had PE issues a few times) and I couldn't MO without thinking of P or sexual thoughts.
About 6 months ago decided to make a change and quit PMO, had a big relapse roughly 6 weeks in and only recently started again.
Currently on day 13.

On my first abstinence from P I had withdrawal symptoms like irritability and on some occasions I even had the shakes. I have had no withdrawal symptoms yet but they will come in time, I am only on day 13 after all. My aim is to reach day 90 with a hard reset (no P, no fantasizing, no looking at bikini pics etc). I intend to never consume P again. In the words of the great Zyzz, we're all gonna make it!

Awesome for you. Good luck on your journey of taking care of yourself

All possibilities are open to you! You will be so engaged with life, trying new things, exploring, starting this and that venture, P/MO will be a faint memory!

Good job on 150, Smoke!

Hey @SmokenMirrors, glad to see you're keeping up on your reboot! Obviously it's tough but it's inspiring how open you are with this - I'm aiming to be as open and matter-of-fact about the process with myself, too. I'm glad to hear about your successes - keep on it!

Thank you for the support brother! Keep on fighting the good fight!

Day 151 - I'm finding that my social skills are certainly improving! The only negative effect I seem to be consistently experiencing is late-night 'sex reruns' where I can't help but think about previous sexual experiences, I've had this for a while but I have always forgotten to mention it the enxt day! Is anyone else having a similar experience? Naturally, I try to distract my brain and think about other things but that is very hard when you're in bed in te dark trying to sleep!
Day 37 of no MO

Day 152 - Still working on life goals and self improvement which was not possible when I was addicted to porn! Keep fighting the good fight, kings. The results are worth it!
