What’s up peeps, Just wanted to share that I’m 60 days pmo free now. This is my longest streak since 2018. I started this streak after I hit rock bottom yet again. I was hooked and I went out (drunk) and had sex with 2 prostitutes in 1 night. I felt so disgusted that my […]

As I remember things I write them one after the other: – Better skin, bigger cleaner eyes, improved memory, better appetite, better smell. I can feel tastes now.

A little background on myself. Mid 30’s, married, a few kids with different women. I’ve been masturbating since I was a kid, I’m thinking 10ish. Porn since dial-up was a thing (NetZero, America online. Really dating myself here lol) when I got home from school before my mom got home. Lots of success with women […]
The first time that I delved into the realms of porn and masturbation abstinence I was greeted with the most intense feeling of being alive. At this time, I felt fully present and fully aware of my being. It felt as if my aura, something that had long been inactive, had recharged itself and was […]
