Hey guys, as the title of this article states: I beat PIED and have withheld PMO addiction for a little over a year and this thread is made to answer any questions how along with offering advice on how to beat this physically, emotionally and mentally. First thing I want to say is that beating this could all be a matter of PERSPECTIVE
The way i see it, when you succeed and have a day with no PMO you can have 2 mentalities: I "survived" another day without relapsing, or you have pride in your growing accomplishment.
SURVIVAL: This, in my opinion, hints that you barely made it out alive that day and could collapse anytime soon. That's why in the wilderness there's a difference between "living" and "surviving". If you use this mildly negative perspective, you might subconsciously be setting yourself up to fail.
PRIDE: If you look back at each day as a proud accomplishment to a growing r?sum? of beating PMO, then you have a more optimistic outlook on what you've accomplished and how far you can take it. Which will hopefully be all the way if you are committed.
Stay strong you guys, let me know if you have questions
