Hey guys. That day is approaching and I'm really excited. But this is going to be more than just a stop PMO. This is going to be a full out change in my life if I can just keep on track. I recommend you all make similar changes in your life, as well. Although the whole "SMART" goal bullshit recommends only having one goal at a time, I don't believe in that. I feel with routine, I should be able to make beneficial changes to my life. I am writing this section in 2 parts.

Before I start my reboot in 10 days, I'd like to talk a little about some of the problems I have and the emotions I feel. This is to reach out to anyone else who may be experiencing similar problems but haven't read much about it or would like to offer/ask for advice.
I'm going to start with a bit about my battle with depersonalization and derealization, which I believe stem from my porn use.

Hello all! I have been reading blogs and message board posts on this forum for a couple of months now, and have finally decided to start sharing my journey.
I am a 24 year old male who has been addicted to porn and masturbation since I was at least 12 years old. I used to masturbate just about every day, and sometimes several times a day. I started off masturbating to soft core porn, and progressed to straight up sex videos. I also have masturbated in the shower to images of women I have known in my head.

I can't have any pets because the place where I live is not suitable for them and I wouldn't have enough time for them anyway (job and other activities).
Anyway, I do like cats. If you like cats too and you are currently experiencing PMO withdrawal symptoms like feeling agitated or depressed, then this tip may help you a little bit.
Search for video clips of purring cats on YouTube and listen to them. I have an iPod, so I can lie down and try to relax while listening to and/or watching such a video clip.

So far so good on the reboot trail. It's been three days so far since my very brief relapse and I've been fairly good at ignoring urges and just keeping busy. However, I did put a lot more thought into what porn did to me and I feel a follow up to the last blog is needed to finish expressing how I feel about porn and why I want to remove myself from it forever.

I have found that reading posts on other’s recovery experience has been very helpful to me in my recovery, so I thought I should contribute. Besides, journaling or “blogging” may help me to some extent. Anything is worth a shot at this point.

Marnia had recently posted a link to a very appropriate article on this site: http://yourbrainonporn.com/node/811
Basically, it deals with "absolute" abstinence, and the psychology required to sustain it.

For my last couple of relapses, I feel like I've somehow been spared the usual withdrawal symptoms. It's only Day 3 but I am having a surprisingly good day. Maybe it helps that my relapses have been few and far between compared to the past--less dopamine abuse, fewer adverse effects?

I am a 21 yr old male. Been jerking to porn since entering college at age 17. Had gotten bjs from girls before but no sex. Sex came later at about 19 but with serious ED. Eventually lost the chick, mojo and other chicks after.
Have been off PMO for 2 Weeks now, and since my first couple of days I have been discharging.
Why does my body discharge this strange fluid, almost every day? Is it good for me?
