Day 5 in and I am still clean. I hate porn, I hate it, I hate it. I am ready to endure to the long haul. I have already noticed an improvement in my mood and self esteem. Thanks for all the support, I am so glad I found this group. I feel refreshed

Hello everyone,

Today is 1 week completed without PMO. Each day is a bit of a rollercoaster, but I am committed to continuing the journey. I noticed PIED a couple weeks back, and I am trying to reboot/rewire. I have never felt more committed to stopping porn consumption. I have some questions maybe you guys can help with:

1. Should I avoid a relationship or pursuing women during reboot?
2. Also if morning wood is present how severe is my PIED?
3. I saw a pornographic scene on a tv show. I shut my tv off immediately. Are these types of situations poor for reboot?

Hey everyone,
Today is 14 days. This is longest time I can ever remember going without PMO, and the results are looking up. For starters I am never going back. I am going to do everything in my power to avoid it. I have noticed consistent morning wood and erections throughout the day like I am 13 years old again. I find myself appreciating women for who they are and not just looking at their bodies. Porn destroys minds, I am so thankful for everyone in this community. Keep me strong when the going gets rough.

Hello everyone,
I am almost a month in without porn. Unfortunately I have MOed 4 times in the month, two of which were in the same night. I need to find a way to avoid MO altogether for a little while to completely heal from my porn addiction. I have rarely had urges for porn, I have it engraved in my mind how much I hate it, but I just want to start this week off by avoiding MO and giving myself a longer time to heal and maybe give up M forever. I could use all the support I can get to support me for nofap.

Guys I am still porn free!  Its been around a month and a half and I plan to never go back. I hate porn, I hate it, I hate it. I actually have some odd porn fantasies every once in a while, but I shoot them down. Everyday without porn is a win!

Today was a very discouraging day. I had made a plan to make it through no nut November and on the 13th day I have failed. Given I still have not watched porn for almost 2 months now, But I am just disappointed that I have MOed. Take it day by day and continue the journey.

I am so happy!! I am 3 months porn free today and 17 days MO free!! It has been a roller coaster for sure. Lots of ups and downs and lots of urges to resist. I want to thank everyone in this community and everyone in the nofap community. I am proud of myself and I am growing stronger day by day. I want my sex life and intimacy with my next girlfriend and/or wife to be the most incredible experience a man can have. I hate porn, I hate it, I hate it. Thank you again guys for all the support. I will be continuing this journey with even more roads bumps and obstacles, but I will be taking everything day by day. A day without PMO is a good day.

In the next weeks I will be giving an updated story on everything I have gone through.

This is a tough day. I had a full on relapse. I MOed but I pulled up pictures of naked women and watched a porn scene. I would say I am embarrassed, but I am more or less disappointed in myself. There is only one way to start from here. Recovery is not a short toad my friends. Time to reboot again.

I almost didn?t want to post this after almost 4.5 months of porn free, but it is better to show the truth of an addiction rather than pretend like all is good. Only one way to go from here. Try again

Hate to say I watched porn yesterday. I am disappointed in myself, but I have to channel this energy to continue recovery. I could make up a bunch of excuses why I relapsed, but the truth is I am and addict and it?s only going to take the power of my mind to stop.

Day 1

I hate porn, I hate it, I hate it
