everyone reboots differently.
the people who mention those things may have relapsed one or even a few years after and needed to start the reboot process again. its not an uncommon thing, though. on the other hand the very fact that they have been porn free for over a year or two is still a good thing!
dont be scared, though. youll find out soon as you progress in the rewiring process

A Lot of things are dependent on you. 1 year off porn is really a very common thing. Anybody can do that. But 4 years off porn, it is really appreciating things. It's not uncommon though. Don't be scared, a change is always good.

If you have PIED and don't want to wait for as long as it takes, what's the alternative? Just start masturbating to porn again?
At some point, we just have to take responsibility for our own actions. This is difficult, at least it was for me. I wanted to blame the porn industry, or my internet provider, etc. The only person responsible for my PIED is me.
Your recovery probably won't take 4 years. You have to understand that when people are reporting that it's taken 4 years to recover, how do you know they are telling you the truth? How do you know they haven't relapsed many times during that period? How do you know it's not somebody just trying to fuck with your head? How do you know it's not somebody from within the porn industry who has a vested interest in people being addicted to porn?
It's not important how long it takes other people to recover. You just need to look after yourself. The first time I rebooted I recovered in 38 days! The third time it took around 200 days. What does it matter?
You have a choice, PIED for the rest of your life, or suffer a bit now for your error in judgement in the past and recover and have a fantastic sex life. I know which one I choose. Also, remember that some guys report PIED so bad that they can't even get hard to porn! Of course, the same thing applies, how do we know that's true?
It's your brain trying to get you to go back to porn. It's your brain telling you, "Oh, we can't wait 4 years to recover, let's watch some porn now". Don't give in. If you ED is porn induced, I'm 100% confident that you will recover.
Be strong!!!!

as always, youre giving the best advices! I'm not going to watch porn ever in my life again for sure. just was curious about peoples opionions, I dont think 4 years without porn and still in flatline is truth but still it gives some effect on my mood.
I'm getting more confident as the time goes by. these days i had better erections, maybe not lasting more than 5-6 minutes and its hard to maintain but still its a progress for me. I'm looking forward and so motivated after these couple of days. really want to be healthier and happier with my gf.
OH trust me! I feel the same way! When I read about that it is very discouraging. I am in a relationship so I will do anything it takes to keep clean and porn and PMO free in general. I want to only be pleasured by my fiance (whos a guy). It is just discouraging at the thought of waiting 1+ years to recover and have sex. I have covenant eyes on my phone so my version of a relapse will look different because it will be MO but that is not on my agenda at all. Im on day 14 which I have done before but this is a whole lifestyle change and I am asking they "why" questions of why I want to watch. It so crazy because each day I feel different like I really do. So yesterday I was deppressed because I was scared I would take more than a year to recover. It makes me worried about my relationship as far as not being intimate for more than a year. I am currently having a goal of 140 days before I attempt to have sex or even an orgasm with my fiance. I will take it slow and really listen to my body and if I need more time I will do more time and go from there.
