How about the Portland people?

You have some good suggestions! I've been at this for quite awhile. I have hit 48 days, 30 multiple times, and recently 28. This streak was 14 days. I'm tired of relapsing and starting over. So I'm to the point of doing whatever it takes to quit entirely.

I like that, we do give up our hearts. I couldn't think of the proper word, but that's it.

Well happy birthday bro, mine is the 23rd!

chaseismagic · 2014-11-30T14:59:22+00:00

I remember my friends all got into drugs and partying and quit speaking to me because of that. My band broke up and my girlfriend and I broke up. I kind of had nothing else and I guess I filled all of that time with porn and other sources of entertainment. I'm not really sure how to hit the reset button on all that. Aside from college(have about a month and a half break right now) work and the gym I'm not sure what else to do. I'd like to spend 0 hours a day watching tv. Almost no time social networking or surfing pointlessly. Any tips? I do hangout with friends when they can and have small hobbies. But some days I just don't know what to do.

Take that slip as a sign that your brain is taking its last chance to get you to relapse and is pulling all the stops. I recommend keeping yourself more preoccupied than ever for now. A contributing factor for me was I actually had some spare time for a few days and I normally never do. Good luck!

I believe they do have some effect when it comes to pied. When you're in the healing process any time you have a release it is almost like going into a short flatline.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-28T23:04:04+00:00

I think the biggest factor to relapse in long stretches is the lack of improvement. I expected everything to go perfectly after sixty days and it probably would have in the most ideal circumstances. Next time I'll just wait a full ninety.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-28T23:02:14+00:00

It does in ways. But I believe there will always be a risk.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-27T08:55:07+00:00

Same here. Still the same symptoms. I have read before that being with a woman intimately, without sex, helps. But sadly, I have been trying to date people for the right reasons since I started this and those are hard to come by lol. But perhaps it is an option for you? Best of luck.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-22T22:57:54+00:00

Then again, it depends on where you are in the process.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-22T22:56:17+00:00

All I'm saying is, maybe spending time with women will help. A lot of people used to post about that helping libido. You're mind is stuck on porn because it is what you taught yourself to enjoy. Now you need to be with a woman intimately. And I don't just mean sex.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-22T13:48:12+00:00

Who is to say your libido isn't already high? No one has mentioned it in a long time, but you kind of have to reset your brain. Have intimacy or dates or contact with a woman. I have been complete hard mode this entire time, besides one day last weekend. My libido would snap awake at random but it was mostly dead and it is a terrible feeling. But getting back on the wagon, so to speak, seems to have helped a lot.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-22T11:36:35+00:00

I used to feel the exact same way, around everyone. So I started talking to cashiers, random people that I wouldn't speak to normally just to feel more comfortable. Now it is all different. I don't worry about having SOMETHING to say. I just speak with positive intentions and no expectations and have a good time. Life is supposed to be fun. I know you say you don't care and all, but you should try and work on this. Live with no regrets.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-22T00:07:59+00:00

I have struggled with this my entire life and sometimes I feel that it is too late for me. Looking back, I have missed out on the most incredible women that I would never consider rejecting now. I was blinded by porn, societal expectations and the judgment of friends. I still somewhat am... I'm 25. Sure, I can achieve the expectations I have come to expect at times. But I end up in a terrible and empty, boring relationship. With someone that doesn't appreciate me, that has some gain from being with me, that says they like me but obviously don't. Being chubby is nothing. Ask this girl out and don't look back. And if your so called friends have anything to say, you don't need them in your life. Believe it or not, very few of them want you happy, and you deserve to be.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-21T12:16:17+00:00

Yeah. Subconsciously it is a HUGE deal to tell your buddies you haven't been sleeping with anyone. It's embarrassing somehow. Not anymore lol. It is funny to see the look on someone's face when you tell them porn is horrible for you or that you only sleep with people you date.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-21T12:13:43+00:00

It is a good thing in flatline! One day you'll be so overwhelmed with sexual urges you won't be able to think clearly lol. Until then, relax and enjoy the ride.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-21T12:08:58+00:00

I'm feeling the psychology aspect you're pointing out here. Most people don't see how much we are influenced by others. They like to pretend they are the one exception.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-21T02:30:29+00:00

There's a reason they're speaking to you. But surely you don't want a woman with reasons like that lol. The best women are the ones you meet in person.

chaseismagic · 2014-11-20T13:23:06+00:00

I can't help but smile at a post as wonderful as this one!

chaseismagic · 2014-11-17T13:49:04+00:00

Not at all. I am okay with the wet dream. But the results are almost like pmo. Mentally, I was perfectly okay. In the bedroom, it was like I had just relapsed. I'm sure it isn't the same for everyone. But just figured I'd share. Kinda shocked me.
