About me in the past !

[CollectorMarcelo168]

The very first time i saw porn was when i was 13 yo, and the moment i saw it, my mind was blown. Chills in my body, heart beating so fast, endless adrenaline rush in mind, it felt like what the hell are they doing?. But honestly i was surprised, shocked, and terrified of it. I didn't knew at that moment that this was the starting of the devastation of my teenage, and it did my whole teenage years (from being 13yo to 20) got destroyed by pornography. These golden years in which i could have become something, i could have did things, i wasted watching porn, masturbating and rest of the time thinking about it. In the initial phase of my addiction, I used to have and erection hard as a fucking rock, even after ejaculating once i still had it and could go for another round, but now the situation is totally different something which i didn't even think would happen to me, but it did. That's right i have PIED now, earlier even a picture of a girl in a bikini would get me so hard, but now not even while watching porn. [size=1pt]รีวิวเกมคาสิโนออนไลน์UFABET[/size]
I didn't even recognise it as an addiction untill i was 17 yo. That was because at this point of time in my life it was finally time to do things in my career, i joined a gym, started working but after even 3 months i saw 0 progress as if i never went to the gym. It was only because i was wanking the every other day after working out. Not just this, couldn't even get a girlfriend or something, but now even that is impossible cause now i have PIED so i couldn't do anything. As time passed by, my addiction got more strong, and now it is at its peak.
I think now I have two options, either i close my eyes and go on with my life as it is going, or i stand up now at this moment and with all my strength and willpower left in me, i quit this addiction for good, so from a few years from now it would feel just like a bad dream for me.
This is my first time i ever found such platform with people who have problems similar to mine, because of this i feel like I'm not alone, there are thousands of men like me. This is my first ever post on this forum, and from now, I'll post my progress and stories with you all every 7 days. Wish me good luck, and a big good luck to y'all too!

Good luck. Porn addiction is really sad but it can be over come. I'm on day 57 no PMO. But there was a time I couldn't even go day without PMO

Hey welcome to the forum, thanks for sharing your story. Porn ruins lives, sorry to the hear that it has found it's way into your life. You're at a great spot though, realizing how important it is that you quit now, you have a long life ahead of you and despite the years damaged by porn, you can still have a fantastic future.

Not just this, couldn't even get a girlfriend or something, but now even that is impossible cause now i have PIED so i couldn't do anything.

...Something to consider about this. It's definitely not impossible to have a girlfriend just because you have PIED. Believe it or not, but there are plenty of ladies out there that aren't just looking for sex in a relationship. A relationship should be focused on each other, getting to know each other, learning to trust each other and sharing experiences together... sex can come later... after you have rebooted and your body cures itself of PIED.
However (not to contradict what I just wrote)... you definitely don't want to get into a relationship while addicted to porn, it will destroy everything, so do what you're doing now, quit porn, reboot, and then when you're free of this habit, you'll be in a great spot to begin a relationship.

This is my first ever post on this forum, and from now, I'll post my progress and stories with you all every 7 days. Wish me good luck, and a big good luck to y'all too!

If it's possible for you, the more often you write and interact on this forum, I think it will help you all the more on your journey, I know that it has for me. Daily updates, even if brief, have done wonders for me, keeping me in the right mindset that I am fighting an important battle and that I'm not alone in it.

Good luck to you, I wish you success in your reboot.

These golden years in which i could have become something

this is a remorse we all feel, wasted time, wasted relationships, blown sexual opportunities etc. you're still VERY young bro. and you have a tremendous amount of life left to live. It's easy for guys to get caught up in the trap of "well it is over for me i wasted too much time, it isn't even worth quitting". but the fact is that your whole life is waiting for you! it is never to late to change and get away from this garbage.

after over a decade of battling this issue myself, my advice would be to get a blocking software, in order to completely eliminate PMO and stay away from related fantasies. It is very difficult to resist urges that come from addiction related brain changes like P addiction, primarily due to the deficiency in the prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for self control). once you get a good streak of abstinence, this part of the brain recovers a bit and resisting the urges becomes easier. This is why you guys are constantly failing, the PFC is too weak at the moment. It takes time for the PFC to recover before you are even able to say “no” at all so removing even the option of PMO becomes very important, hence the blocking software. I use Covenant Eyes, details in my signature.

Im almost 90 days clean, which is the longest by far i have ever gone PMO free since becoming addicted over a decade ago. The key is you need to be accountable. I have a great accountability partner and we can see each others search history every day. This forces you to change your behavior and avoid PMO.

your brain will usually balance itself out with enough time. keep coming to the forums for support and soon you will become re-sensitized to normal stimuli. together, we can all get our boners back. feel free to message me if you want more details etc.
