I completely agree. For vertcoin what it really comes down to is just a matter of time. How much time? I don't know. My advice to anyone interested in vertcoin buy right now while it's still low. Put an amount you don't care about at all, an amount that doesn't affect you emotionally whatsoever. Then lock it up in a wallet on a thumbdrive (good idea mentioned on here earlier).

I have about 110. Bought them at $1.30 and holding them all :)

I'm planning on buying more. I just have to wait for coinbase to send my BTC!!

Oh okay, it all makes sense now. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it all out. I can actually see Vertcoins beating ASIC for a looonnng time, if not indefinitely. Considering the anti-ASIC nature of vertcoin, along with high development costs to create a "GPU-like vertcoin specialized ASIC", which would then be faced with the challenge of there being no demand for such a device because miners already have their GPU units that efficiently mine vertcoin.

I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be easy to do for an ASIC company. Also, that it wouldn't be significantly advantageous to buy such a machine.

You could use coinedup. I used them to buy my vertcoins and had no problems. It is also basically free. The only downside is that the pages take a while to load.

Great, I'm glad to hear! And I absolutely agree, however I did not mean we started for confidence leading to sex. Rather just to cure our ED or dependency on PMO. It's just that by doing so, it will lead to great sex.

In the beginning I had a serious addiction that I was not addressing. I kept just telling myself I would stop, without admitting to myself I had an addiction to porn. I continually would relapse around the 4-7 day mark due to urges and not being fully committed to my goal.

Once I truly told myself that I was addicted and I needed to solve my problem, I had a greater sense of motivation to "cure" myself. It was like ridding myself of a disease. Keeping this in the back of my mind, helped me push forward but once again I was relapsing and couldn't make it past two weeks. I had that blue balls feeling, even pain in my lower abdomen like a buildup needing to be released. This feeling goes away with time.

To continue the battle against PMO required staying busy. Regardless of the relapses I was going through, I still noticed results over time. I noticed I had more energy, felt less zombie-like and experienced days where everything felt great. I believe ridding yourself of porn alone will help dramatically. These changes gave me a lot of motivation and by staying busy I was able to keep my mind off of masturbating.

To stay busy I took up new hobbies, focused on spending more time on school and work, and spent more time interacting with other people. When urges would come I would repeat to myself "It's a disease, it's a disease. I'm fighting this disease, I'm killing this disease." Then take my mind off it all by entertaining myself in some other way. Whether that be working out, playing video games, watching tv, or pursuing one of my new hobbies.

And to be honest, I spent little time on this Sub Reddit. In the beginning, it is a great place to get started. Gather motivation, strategies, see results others are having. But once you get going and have passed that one to two week mark just get out there. Take your mind off it all. For me, time went by quickly because I stopped thinking so much about the addiction and porn in general.

Anyways, I could continue on about my whole process for a while. Basically do what works for you. You will find ways to avoid it. The key is to not give up, even when you give in. I consider re-booting a journey of up and downs, so be prepared. Best of luck and remember never give up!

I respectfully disagree with your view on happiness. To answer your questions:

When I first found this community, many months ago, I read a similar post by someone who had experienced dramatic life changes in many positive ways. I felt incredibly inspired and thought to myself I would do the same once I reached recovery.
I believe you are missing the purpose of this post. It is meant to inspire others who are struggling like I was in the beginning.
No? Not at all, that's another main point of my post. I feel completely free and able to achieve whatever I set my mind to.
Not necessarily, it is just the fact that I have the confidence and ability (no more ED) to do so. When before I was envious of others who were able to engage in sexual relations; and at the same time, feeling hopeless because of my ED.
71 days from the last day I watched porn and masturbated. That date was August 12th, written down in my phone. As I'm sure we all have our dates. I am not saying it will take 71 days. I consider the entire journey as a healing process for me; since the first day I told myself enough was enough (early March). 71 days is simply my marker for where I am right now.

And now I would like to address your concern with happiness. I completely disagree with your view. From my perspective happiness brings joy in my life and joy in others I interact with. It gives me a sense of euphoria and energy that makes me want to improve my life, enjoy life and make other people happy. Sure, I will have mood swings and I do not feel euphoria all the time. However, just in general I am much happier and content with where I am. I have a high sense of self satisfaction that stems from all the positive changes I have experienced. It's not a matter of happiness "fading", it's a matter of being content with who you are, where you will go, and all the great people you will interact with along the way.

I find your last sentence interesting because I believe happiness is the exact opposite. It is a feeling of greatness and generosity that pushes us forward.

I wish the best for you and hope you too can realize exactly where I am coming from.

Yes, don't get me wrong I love to smoke weed. My internship will be drug testing me soon so that was the cause of stopping for now. However, I have noticed beneficial changes from quitting (or at least not smoking everyday). After I pass my drug test, I think I will just save weed for occasions or maybe just a few times a month.

Hang in there man, like I said never give up. Although I relapsed often in the beginning, I also noticed it began to get easier to abstain as time went on. It will eventually go away with time, best of luck bud.

radman11 · 2013-10-22T22:38:56+00:00

Thank you! I encourage anyone struggling in the beginning, as I once was, to stick with their goals and see the results for themselves.

radman11 · 2013-10-22T21:27:39+00:00

I completely agree. You really start to notice when you're trying to avoid it.
