3rd reboot attempt, with a difference.

Day 0

This reboot attempt will be different, i now know my triggers and my weaknesses, i will aim for quality of days not so much quantity, my improved nutrition will assist in repairing damage done by PMO and i will not M, egde or O at all.

I'm not going to lie i was going to delay my 3rd attempt until after the upcoming season of Game of Porn Thrones finished but to continue any longer knowing the consequences would be insane. I'm thinking that i should be focused on not seeking sexual material out but if i come across it watching my favorite shows then looking away ASAP is okay, we don't normally look away from a porno right?

Truthfully i can't wait to get those good old "superpowers" back, since i started PMO again i have noticed that girls no longer even notice me, back during my longer streaks girls would literally turn to look at me like i was Dr. Hardon. My voice has also gotten softer lately and doesn't project as well, fortunately i haven't done enough damage yet that would bring back my brain fog and anxiety, at least i have learned that relapsing really doesn't undo all of your hard work, not that that will be useful to me anymore  8)

Hey man, so sorry to hear you have relapsed as well. I have followed you from the start and, weirdly enough, we have both relapsed in the same way probably for the same reason. I have however managed to not go back to the habit. It was a one time thing and I already turned page.

Sure do all your past progress is far from gone - I have had similar triggers with the sopranos. I would say maybe you have been lately feeling more down due to your relapsing situation, that's why you may have been looked down upon by other persons as well. One of my friends said I looked like a zombie these past days as I was dragging on all moody and with giant eyebags due to lack of good sleep. It's all related

Wish you good luck and count me in for moral support 

It's sad to see you back,
I was at my 72 days 5 days ago, but here I am, back to the zero.
You know what? Since we' ve been in this together since the start, I am not going to relapse unless you are, so that's some additional motivation for you and for me too! Good luck.

Right back at ya guys.

Best of luck comrade.

It sounds like you're in it for the long haul.

Day 7

No issues so far. I'm committed to doing hardmode until cured this time round, last reboot attempt my longest nofap streak was just 45 days out of about 160 days porn free, i believe this is the reason why i never saw much improvement during the later days of my reboot. I have also started eating a more nutritional diet that aims to increase nerve and cell healing and balances hormones, i'm hoping this will help me see better results faster this time round.

I'm feeling good today, Gabe has helped me clear up a few things in regards to the reboot that have been bothering me for a very long time. I believe that the reason why i didn't see a return of libido is because my libido only recognized porn as a potential mate and so unwiring from porn left me without any avenue of activating my libido, in my current unwired state it makes perfect sense as to why neither fake girls or real girls excite me at all. It's time to stop counting days and focusing on making some changes that will help me find a partner.

counting day is good. it helps you to stay determined. but at the end it is your choice.

True, of course i do keep track of days gone by but that is no longer my priority, i wont get anywhere until i make other changes in life so that i can get a partner to rewire with.

don't relay on any other human too much. it is your problem , you have to solve it your self.
fukk the rest.

But a partner is required if i want to rewire lol

Today i went to the doctor about my libido and low sensitivity, he was able to rule out any hormonal imbalance or deficiency of any kind, he was able to confirm that my issue is entirely psychological and when i brought up the reboot with him he seemed completely open to the idea that porn is the cause. So nothing groundbreaking but at least i can now put my mind at ease and any small doubt i had about the reboot is now gone.

Hey man, best of look with the reboot!

This is good news for all! That a doctor is willing to acknowledge the problem in the first place.

As people have said we are all here for you and I am sure we can get through it together! I am currently doing the Hard 90 reboot so we are on similar paths!

I think you are right as well right regards to GF. You cannot go your whole life with NoFAP  if you do not eventually bring somebody else into your life. I guess you just have to be carfull not to introduce that girl into your life before you are ready.

A partner will probably open again the door of sexuality and you'll feel like you're a teenager again. Not the easiest task of 'em all, agreed, bu while rebooting I ended up focussing on so many other things important for me that at a certain point my sexual release was not even in the top 5 of my priorities. smart idea not counting the days my friend. 

@DayByDay
Absolutely, i had a feeling the Dr hadn't ever considered porn as a potential libido killer but he was very open minded and encouraged me to continue. Good luck with your reboot as well.

@LS90
I look forward to feeling like a Hetrosexual Hetrosexual : )

Never heard about it, honestly. I've had my sensibility back after abstaining but I do have a regular diet and take a small multivitaminic supplement so can't really say much.

I suppose if you have a nutritional diet then the oil isn't completely necessary, though the oil does have proven nerve healing benefits and has been shown to cure ED so it can't be all that bad.

I personally have not had good luck(or any luck) treating my ED with any supplements. Taking vitamin E can't be bad for you though. Just be sure not to take it for too long, and cycle on and off of it. Hopefully you do see some progress!

How many days are you at brother?

@Letzte Thanks for your advice, i'm about 24 days into my current reboot.

Today i felt horrible, i had a headache, brainfog, social anxiety and low mood. It was just like being in the worst of my porn days. It obviously has to do with that week of regular MO i had, i hope it all clears away soon.

Update: Even though i relapsed to pics shortly after posting, i'm back to feeling myself and those headaches have gone.

I somehow managed to MO again, i guess my mind just hasn't been completely in it. This time i will try leaving my bedroom door slightly open at night so that i wont be tempted. In exactly 45 days time i will be back in Melbourne on holiday, why this is relevant is because my previous best streak of 45 days was reached whilst in Melbourne and i experienced those "superpowers" for the first time. I want those again.
