Thanks guys!!! The encouragement is so very appreciated!
Really the stress was about work and a handful of deadlines. Between that and needing a vacation, it was a lot on my plate. The more I think about it, the more I realize that using P was my tried and true stress reliever - the surge of feel-good chemicals from it and the relaxing feeling afterwards was like taking a perscription drug. When things are stressful, it's just such an easy way to temporarily make my brain feel better.
Yeah, the PIED absence really is good. There was some time, like 2 weeks into my reboot, where I had tremendous pain in my groin. Since that went away, I have never had a problem. I remember going to the bathroom at work, standing in the stall, and just clenching myself in complete agony during some of those days. Thing was, it hurt so much, PMOing didn't even seem appealing. Ever since, I've been really back to my old self.
I still feel quite vulnerable to relapse. I am hoping that as work related stress decreases, I'll be a bit more at ease. 10 days since my last relapse and feeling really good.
