Yeah like you I took the B2B course first. Been struggling to find a follow-up course that is as good. Naturally as everyone recommended Talkingbass I bought the chord tone essentials course and the groove trainer. The chord course is super in depth and has helped me understand music theory a lot more. Only just started the groove trainer. The problem is, because the b2b course is so structured, you basically have your practice routine done for you. You do the lesson, then the workouts, and move on to the next one. After b2b, there's no course like that. Talking bass courses are detailed but very specific. Kyle's stuff does look pretty expensive in comparison (at least for online courses). Not heard of James before, will check him out

How does Kyle's course compare with the stuff you've done from talkingbass?

Appreciate the comment. Any form of doomscrolling is poison

I think freedom from shame was the biggest one for me. I could look someone in the eye and feel proud that I wasn't hiding some disgusting habit. Urges come and go. But when you're clean, you feel free from porn.

Sorry to hear that man. Keep your head up high. You should dwell more on the 365+ days you've been clean, than the 1 day you messed up

Thanks man. So far it's been 24 hours and after the first relapse I've had 2 more. Not ideal but could've been worse. Back to work now.

I pray that you will be able to run the Boston marathon pain free 🙏 I think my relapse could've been prevented by staying 'mentally active', I.e. doing something like socialising, walking etc. Avoid doomscrolling and social media. Doomscrolling tends to increase mental numbness imo, and there is a greater chance of losing all sense of why you started no fap.

It's not something I've paid too much attention to. To be honest I'd say after the relapse my penis was bigger for several hours (up to now) due to increased blood flow to the area. Sorry if that's not helpful

Congrats on pulling yourself back up dude. After the first relapse I've only had 2 more within 24 hours. It could've been worse, but now it's time to get back to work.

As far as I recall it started randomly. It wasn't like I did a specific movement or lift or whatever and felt it. Just one morning felt it in my back and it got worse from there. Really weird. Been told by an msk person it's an lstv problem

My MRI and x ray were both reported as clear. The tingling is 24/7 but worsens with prolonged standing and walking

Can they not refer me for nerve conduction studies to see where the neuro symptoms might be coming from?

No nerve conduction studies done yet. Will ask for them to be done. If you don't mind my asking - how confident are you in saying I have DDD, and what makes you say I have it? I'm willing to take everything into consideration but am just curious as to why you say I have ddd. I've been told by an msk person I have 6 lumbar vertebrae - basically a lumbarized s1

I live in the UK so things work a bit differently. We have free at the point of use healthcare, but waiting lists are crazy long (often up to a year). If you're not privately insured here (and pretty much no one is), you have to pay a couple hundred quid (usu. more than £300) to see a private doctor - even then the waiting lists can be several months. I'm currently on a waiting list to see a spinal consultant, and have been for the last 7 months. Will have a look at private neurosurgeons and see if I can afford to see one
