Hey Recovery, you're doing great man, you really are.

Sometimes I know when I get this way, a big change is usually about to happen, so you just have to push through to the other side.

53 days is quite the achievement.

Best brother.

Thank you brother it means a lot.. Went out with my cousin to a bar and women was just magnetic to me…. I couldn’t explain it…. My presence was felt… We went to an after hour food spot and it happened again… Women just throwing themselves at me when I wasn’t paying them no mind.. Just naturally without even trying…It was amazing… If that isn’t motivation to keep on trucking I don’t know what is!! Practicing my social skills is a good thing I need to be doing in the first place… Why not us and why not now!! Let’s keep going we will succeed!!!

Day 56:The end of Week 8 is finally here… The process is definitely moving slower this reboot compared to my last reboot but that was 5 years ago and was only 5 years into my PMO addiction at the time.. So very understandable… I got way more extreme with the content I was watching from late 2017 to early 2022… I started getting my morning wood back slowly but it hasn’t stood up straight yet… It was leaning sideways but stayed hard for a long time…. A rainy day once again so I don’t know what I’m gonna do.. Probably work around the house again… Maybe go to the library so I can have peace… I don’t know… I’m pretty excited.. Week 9 starts tomorrow!!!!

Week 9: Day 57:Out of the flatline and feel amazing.. Social skills have improved drastically.. Erections are almost standing up straight… Testicles are heavier and libido is high… No flashbacks except every once in a while…This is a beautiful thing… If I feel good right now… I wonder how I’ll feel after day 90…. This is marvelous… Keep going on this journey and never give up!!! PMO isn’t worth it guys.. Trust me “To be able at any moment to sacrifice what you are to what you will become” - Eric Thomas

Day 59: In and out of the flatline but when I’m out the flatline the joy I get is incomparable.. The benefits are crazy… Tomorrow will be officially 60 days… 2 months in and only one month left from the infamous 90 days… Had a couple of accidental triggers on YouTube but even that’s becoming easier and easier to avoid…. I hope all is well and will try to comment on other people journals as much as I can.. God bless….

Day 60: We have finally made it to two months PMO free… It’s surreal…. But I have 30 days left to the infamous day 90… Still a way to go but very hopeful…This is my day 60 report with pros and cons..
Pros: Social Anxiety is 98% gone very rarely I’ll get anxiety having a conversation with somebody but it’s gone for the most part… Being able to be more social and having your charisma and personality come back when it was gone for so long is emotional in a good way.. I haven’t seen shades of the real me for 10 years… Probably my favorite benefit so far….
2.Much more energy is another thing I noticed… I just have to stay busy for the majority of the day and it feels good to be productive and active all day…Getting things done and keeping things organized consistently….
3.My drive and motivation to succeed are back… There’s something great about caring about yourself much more and trying to better yourself in all areas of life and trying to be the best version of yourself possible….. I love it!!
Cons: Insomnia is something that I’ve been struggling with… Harder to get sleep or sleeping for a couple hours and waking up much earlier which is probably kind of a pro when I think about it… I just hope to get a couple more hours of sleep before and still wake up early enough for the day….
2.Still having to ignore your brain completely…. the flashbacks aren’t really there anymore but your brain still tries to negotiate with you and will use anything to trick you back into your filthy habit…Very annoying but I know it’s apart of the process.. Also noticed when I got out of the flatline dreams are starting to come back.. Not as strong as they use to be though….
That’s all I can think of on this two month journey and it has been a journey… I’m almost at my goal but I know it’s a marathon and not a race to a certain finish line but rather a lifestyle change.. I’ll be back with my ultimate report in a month!!!! Stay motivated, self disciplined and productive.. God Bless!!!!

Congratulations on 60 days man; you deserve this milestone and all the great advantages that come with it. In terms of insomnia, I'm sure that you're already doing things to help your sleep such as limiting screen time before bed and exercising regularly. Another thing that helps me, granted I've never experienced P withdrawal insomnia, is the military sleeping method. I'll link it below and I hope it helps.


It takes some practice but it's helped me a lot.

Day 62:Another thing I been battling is stepping away from friends that continue to do stuff I refuse to be around.. Weed, clubs, bars, chilling on street corners just anything with negative energy and spirits that is no good for me and could threaten my journey…. I’m very focused but very cautious around the people I choose to be around.. My cousin that I grew up with since toddlers and not just my cousin but my best friend as long as I could remember is the only person I consistently hang out with.. He somewhat understands my journey but still engages in the weed smoking and clubs and bars… I chose to stay away from that so we will see how tonight goes hopefully can just have a natural chill session like the old days…

Day 63:I caved and smoked weed and went to a club… Definitely done with it now though… Didn’t even enjoy it when I did it… Just wasn’t the same anymore… The most important part is this reboot is still going…. I am working out at 4 in the morning and gonna continue my day to basketball court around 6:45… I don’t stop…

Whoa. You smoked and went to a club without relapsing after? That's very good!

Week 10: Day 64: So I’m a little emotional today.. Today I tie my longest streak ever since 2017… For those who don’t know on my last big reboot I relapsed on day 64 by making the mistake by going back on social media… Here I am 5 years later on Day 64 and knowing what not to do this time around aswell as other activities that may trigger me… I never thought I would be here in this position again but God intervened and I’m here again.. What a blessing it is… This time I’m going all the way… Thanks to God first and foremost and this community for helping me this far and I plan to do the same Vice versa… It’s time to beat this addiction…. “Don’t just go through it, grow through it - Joel Osteen… God bless

Keep going man, you got this!

I myself had a weekend binge and completely lost the reigns on my challenge, but dusting myself off now, ready to go again. God wants to see us fight off these passions, to struggle through righteousness.

It's good to read of your success and tieing your longest-ever streak, it gives me much hope!

Stay based, brother.
