I am so grateful for the community I've found here and at yourbrainrebalanced.com. Even when I've failed in the past (and that has been largely my experience so far) I can come here and realize I'm not alone. I stopped trying to reboot for a long time. My longest streak was 23 days about two years ago. Since then I've managed 3 or 4 days at a time here and there, but largely allowed myself to fall back into the same patterns. And as you might expect, I have experienced the debilitating and humiliating experience of a PMO life. Low energy, depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, zero romantic interests, PIED, and so much more. I am 38 now and realize it's now or never. I can't let this addiction be who I am for the rest of my life. I still have life to live, I still have goals to accomplish. I know that I am fraught with issues and they will need to be sorted out, but I can't keep pretending that PMO isn't a problem, that I have it under control. I'm not proud of the man I've become. I'm not living up to my fullest potential.
I'm on Day 5 of this reboot and am hoping for the best. The first few days were not without challenges. But my resolve remains. Stay strong everyone!
