i just started on this forum after seeing the YouTube video and the one big question i have, is how do you know when you've rebooted?  Gabe stated 9 months for his reboot and my question for him or anyone is how did you know you had achieved you're total reboot?

Well, the progress isn't linear. So for many guys, it's not like they wake up one day and find they are "cured". I have been doing this for half a year now, starting with no erections at all while being with my girl. After a while, I could have sex with ED drugs. Now I am having sex several times a day with a reduced amount of ED drugs. Libido and sensitivity keep improving, but I am not "there" yet.

For the intent of having sex, I am cured and rebooted. For things like EQ and reaching my full sexual potential (...) my reboot continues.

In terms of rebooting, I haven't completely rebooted but I have rewired. I was able to have sex after 22 days of no PMO. I didn't use any ED drugs either. I went from sleeping with multiple girls to just waiting for the right one now.
My reboot is me achieving the goals I've set for myself when I have up porn.
-successful sex
- get into great shape
- become more spiritual
- be a better person in my relationships
- improve myself as a person so when I meet the right person I can be the best to them.

I'm working on the bottom 2 and it'll be a life long process.

So when you're finally chasing after goals in life and understanding that the old you isn't how you want to be then I consider that being fully rebooted.

suparlover i really liked your post it makes sense to me and ive come up with goals as well during my reboot such as quitting dip to increase blood flow, work out more and to be a better man in general. I appreciate the post on my topic 11 days and going strong.  Ohh and i also haven't cut out internet or tv usage but i never really used them to begin with.

Well in my situation, I have stopped since April 1, and being in a long distance relationship (and 37 years old) I am going to see my girlfriend on May 15 again, at which point I expect we will do a lot of re-wiring, as we are together kissing, holding hands, etc every day. 

We plan on having sex come middle/end of June, which puts me at about 75-90 days without PMO/MO and to be honest with you, I don't plan on PMOing ever again, and I am going to my best to stop MOing completely even after I think I am cured or near to it. 

Now, I don't know if I will be "cured" by then, but I am seriously considering taking VigrX for a couple months just to help out if need be.  From what I have read, taking it wont do me any harm.  My doctor gave me some Cialis Tadalifil 5mg's.  So I may use those as well if need be, but the problem with Cialis is that some people get side effects.  I have never been predisposed to getting side effects with any drug, so I hope the same is true with Cialis, but I don't know.  I may try them out in a week or two just to see what "effect" they give me.  ie- do I get a side effect?  I won't MO though. 

Either way, I am not looking at porn and have absolutely no urges to do so.  I do get the odd minor urge to MO, but I have controlled it pretty easily.  If anything, I get urges where I want to fuck my girl friend, but unfortunatly, I don't think it will stay up long enough to do much if we were together :( 

PS:  God has blessed me with a pretty strong will.  I am one of the lucky few who can change things in my life cold turkey or on a dime.  While I was trying to quit porn earlier, I never did because I didn't know what harm it possibly caused me, it was more of a half assed quitting.  Now that I know... its gone.
