Hey @First_step_thousand_miles. I love that you're having wet dreams now, and that the man downstairs is working beautifully. All of this is as it should be. You mentioned the rewiring that's going now too, which I'm sure is definitely helping. How are things with the lady? I hope you guys are doing well.

:cool: Fuck yeah!

These goals look great and are nothing too crazy, which should keep you motivated. I hope your job search is successful and that you have a great and wonderful porn-free 2025.

Best,
Blondie
My man! Sorry for the late reply, I'm only logged in on my computer and haven't touched it in a while!

The rewiring is huge man, definitely helping in a big way. Not always perfect but getting better and better directionally. Things are great with my gf man, she's a great girl and I'm happy with how we're trending. Physically we're still around 2nd base but she's slowly getting more comfortable with taking things further -- normally this would be too slow but she's worth it. Anyway, it's also probably good for me to wade into the waters gradually too so I guess it works out in a lot of ways

It's funny, I can notice correlations between when I"m stressed and the erection health -- I imagine you see this too? When I'm relaxed, it's much better and when I'm not then it causes some over-worrying which I'm learning more & more over time

Thanks a lot brother, 2025 is our year!

Day 1000 no porn
Day 3 no MO

Finally hit 4 digits!! So much to say here...when I first started this journey on May 15, 2022 I was so damn lost and in hindsight was living a half life.

Today I'm lucky to have a gf I love, I'm working out 4-5x per week, I'm meditating & doing gratitude practices, I have great relationships with people I care about, my erections are far better to just my gf (vs. pixels on a screen doing non-vanilla things)...so many good things have come out of this. Both in freeing my mind of porn as much as possible (still got a ways to go, I'm not declaring victory just yet!) and all the time it's freed up

I could not have gotten here without Blonde @Blondie. I'm not just saying that, I know this to be true. My man, your encouragement and support were truly invaluable, particularly in those wavering moments. You are my brother now and always man, united by our common struggle and our slow triumph! I hope in some small way I've been there for you as well

Many thanks to everyone else who has been on this journey with me like @SmokenMirrors and the rest of ya'll. You guys helped me get here. My next goal is to cross the 3yr mark on May 15th of this year!

My man, this is amazing! I knew you could do it and YOU DID. Fantastic. :cool:

I'm so happy we've done this journey together and it means so much to me you feel likewise. I too feel it would have been hard to do this without you, and I thank the gods for finding you here. You'll be a brother forever.

Way to be a shinning example for us all of what is possible.

Let us never give in, and let us keep reaching for the stars.

Haha sometimes I feel like we've fought a war together man, we've been there in the trenches for all the fucks ups, for all the anxiety, for all the compassion & light moments...it's been an incredible journey. If anything you are the shining example I aspire to -- either way thank you for everything.

We've come a long way my friend, and we'll go a long ways still. The best is yet to come!

Awesome stuff @First_step_thousand_miles - my journey started at a similar time to yours. Been longing to ask you, why the Bruce Lee picture?
Thanks man! Haha I really like his quote (pasted below). Just reminds me there's always more we can strive for

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them" - Bruce Lee
