Hey,
atwi60d here. Weird name, I know, but I couldn't think of anything sufficiently disconnected from me for a name to register under, saw a world globe in my living room and went with "around the world in 60 days", not that it has any significance.
Not writing this for anyone, nor really for particular feedback, though any is appreciated. Before RebootNation, I'd tried to quit before, quite a few times. Unfortunately, the accessibility and variety got to me every single time, and it was too taboo of a subject to discuss with anyone face to face.
13 years ago, I discovered P. Yep, on dialup. It was pretty pixelated then. Luckily, nothing extreme but definitely began with P before I began with V. Unfortunately, by the time I engaged in regular healthy sexual relationships in college, I was constantly supplementing with P. Occasionally, I'd invite them to watch P with me... thankfully, it never really worked for any of them, so I haven't reached the "milestone" of ED or DE.
In fact, what made me realize it was a problem was three things.
1) PE, not too severe, but often in under 10 minutes
2) Occasionally, after the gf would fall asleep, I'd sneak away and PMO
3) On trips away from home, it would get bad, and eat up a good chunk of my free time, often 2-3 times a day while away
I had seen the TED Talk "The Great P Experiment" earlier this year. My resolution lasted a few days... not anything commendable by any means, but I realize that it was a step in the right direction, and I'd love to thank the author of that once I can successfully reboot.
October 27th was Day 0... Days 1-9 went pretty quickly considering how busy I was. I'd say I experienced a few days of flatlining, but I'm not sure if the worst is yet to come. Occasional urges here and there, but always distracted myself with something-- cooking, gym, schoolwork. Today was a little more difficult, so I was browsing the forum and saw the diary of DONEWITHTHISISH @ http://legacy.rebootnation.org/index.php?topic=1595.0).
Journaling seems like a good idea, so here I am giving it a try. I'm intrigued by how motivated I can stay with that counter ticking down to goals.
I'm currently in a long-distance relationship, which helps and hurts. I'm tempted because there's nobody watching over me. I'm helped by the fact I'd like to be able to accomplish this reboot before she moves in late next year... The tough part is that I'll see her every few weeks/months, which will definitely include regular PIV. Hopefully I can continue to capitalize on the neuroplasticity, and not be too detrimented by the O's that accompany regular PIV. Caveat: I'm trying to refrain from P and M, so no pregame M/O before regular PIV...
... see ya in a few.
