Girl I'm super into is officially my girlfriend, I'd say things are going well haha. The chemistry is amazing and I get like 50-70% hard just touching her or texting her or thinking about her sometimes. The physical aspect of our relationship will likely proceed at a pace she's comfortable with given her lack of experience, but I'm actually ok with that given how much I dig her haha.

Doing some interviews as well, hoping one of them pans out as well. Life is good

This is fantastic news @First_step_thousand_miles! I so happy for you.

Real is the ONLY deal.

Best man
Thank you my friend! You have been here with my since Day 1 as I crawled from the depths of degeneracy -- moments like these are when I really believe in God as I've done nothing to be so blessed with your support, yet you've offered it so freely -- and I'm so glad that we are both still trucking on with such success. Life on the other side -- while not perfect -- feels pretty amazing so far. Nothing beats real

Still getting boners with my gf just cuddling and kissing but they feel a bit less strong and I'm not getting many random boners anymore. Either it's a flatline or just a regular part of the cycle / part of my recovery.

I'm proud to say 82 days in this no MO cycle, I haven't peeked ONCE and fantasizing has been minimal as well. I'm psyched to hit 100 days soon

Continuing to lift, working through some mild strains but I'm getting there. Gotta get more disciplined on food though, I REALLY want to get to 19% body fat soon and then aim for 14-15% longer term

Massive wet dream last night after not having them (or not remembering having them) for like 1.5 months or so. Remember it pretty vividly, was a bit porn-like to be honest but hey it's all working its way out of the system somehow. Have a big stain on my sheets and in my boxers lol

Otherwise life is good, seeing my gf tomorrow and going to gym later today and Sunday. Am keeping busy with a full schedule otherwise seeing friends & stuff

Rocking some solid boners just kissing and fondling gf, feels awesome. Relationship is going strong, going to hit our 3 month mark very soon. I know it's early but I'm crazy about this girl

On the gym front, continuing to work thru I think some over-training injuries. I guess the funny thing is, all the workout gurus recommend X number of reps / sets / workouts per week and I've committed HARD to trying to do that but the truth is not all bodies are built the same. Some can just handle more, look at the Mountain from GOT or JJ Watt -- that's not just commitment, it's a certain level of physical genetic potential. All to say, more specifically I'm gonna focus more on compound lifts and dial down on the accessory work (bicep / tricep) a bit to avoid these injuries -- virtually all of the injuries seem to be due to this causing 'over-training' for my body (though for others it might not be the case). Just posting this in case it's helpful to someone, all in all I'm not bummed or anything. Just recognizing that I have to know my own body and that's the competition, NOT someone else. It's the same thing for quitting porn as well, it's about You vs. You

Interviewing for new job stuff didn't work out, but all good! I got some experience and frankly if I had gotten the job, I would've had to move away from my gf. Might still have to at some point but I'd rather get our relationship on solid footing first anyway. Hoping the darn economy gets better too haha

All in all, life is is pretty good. Things aren't perfect, but when are they ever really? I have lots of goals to push towards and at the end of the day, that's all a man can ask for. I can't wait to reach them

I love reading these updates @First_step_thousand_miles. That number is looking real high man.

Best
Thank you brother, I love you. If it's high, it's massively due to your support my man. I love reading your updates as well, really helps remind us of what we can accomplish. I also like hearing the non-porn stuff because it's a gentle reminder, there's a life beyond porn! Keep crushing it my man

So ended up MO'ing last night at 89 days of no MO. Honestly I was just laying in bed on my side and getting hard to vanilla stuff and then kinda just moved my hips and stuff lol....no hands, missionary imagination, successful MO. And I was hard throughout. I'm healing no doubt, couldn't have imagined a no-hands MO even 6 months ago

Anyway, gonna refrain from MO unless when I absolutely need it. I don't want to be on a schedule of 1-2x a week, or a schedule at all! It's just a release, I'd rather save all my sexual energy for the gf whenever she wants to take things further. Anyway life is pretty darn good

Should have noted, had another wet dream after waking up from sleeping next to my girlfriend within a few days after Sept 19th. Erections feel pretty good all told. Heading out of town for a week or so, life is pretty good otherwise
