Hello
Can hardly believe it was 4 years ago that I joined this site. Made some good friends here then but I think we all went our separate ways. I managed a 6 week streak here I remember. For some reason I feel at home at Reboot Nation, I tried NoFap but it was just to BIG, I couldn't get my head around it. Here It feels more contained and straight forward .
I am on day 1 now after doing 1 month on hard mode. In the week before I slipped I began to feel some genuine happiness seeping its way into my heart. The first 3 weeks were like hell for me as I had been in the cycle with pmo and alcohol for about 3 1/2 months and had got really depressed. But yes after 3 weeks of not blowing my custard I felt the lift inside 'Semen Gives You Wings' Unfortunately I was still drinking during that month and had a few to many on friday night and that's what derailed me. Its another thing I abuse so time to let it go as it only has a negative effect. I did quit booze for 8 years in the past so I can do it.
In the last year I have had 2 other streaks of about 90 days with varying levels of purity! The most recent was from March to June time. I was seeing a psychologist (she was gorgeous....typical.. ) And I got into a really good space. Stopped drinking and didn't rub anything the whole time. Funny thing was I started reading about law of attraction and began to visualize the kind of girlfriend I wanted, not a good idea! I ended up looking at non-nude pics on line of these kinds of women. Got very aroused as you can imagine and now I realize it was just my sneaky old porn brain trying to stay alive. I did take a positive from that experience though (By the way I am not recommending this..) in that every time I did this I would get fully aroused and then just say 'NO' and walk away and be fine again, no rubbing at all. What it showed me was that I am stronger than I realized, as my whole life I lived with the experience of 'HAVING' to masterbate if I felt horny, there simply was 'NO OTHER WAY' But I proved that wrong many times over that period. So that was cool.
The effect of pmo on me is shocking...i feel so shitty and fearful the last two days. I have wasted my life energy and I am paying the price now. I had a meal with my family last night and I could hardly look them in the eye and was quiet the whole time. And was getting annoyed with them for talking to much! pmo drains my soul and I feel so diminished in good qualities, gratitude acceptance. I feel a lot better after wring this though and am determined to beat this and live the good life.
Its time to quit porn for good
Its time to quit booze for good
Its time to feel alive again and live a healthy natural life.
Its time to find the inner child and stop being so complicated.
Its time to become my own best friend!
