Today I completed the challenge. I started to cure my PIED and got way more than I expected. In order to do this i had to change step by step. The first weeks I had serious withdrawal. It was an anxiety-loaded, sleepless nightmare. It taught me to take hardships for reaching a long-term-goal.
After about two months things started to get better but I had heavy sexual urges. It taught me to look for a real partner (which didn’t work out well), so I learned to wait and accept my situation.
The last month things kept on getting better. I started to feel normal (not like superman), I started to feel happier. That is where I am right now. I learned that sex is not the most important thing in life. In fact most of my urges for sex or PMO showed up, when I felt lonely or stressed.
So I started to socialize a lot and found new friends, lately even women that are interested in me. I also started to work out harder to cope with stress..Which (in combination with a healthy diet) changed my body for the better. I did not take cold showers or meditate at all. I changed my habits and my mindset.
And now I am a better version of myself. I didn’t expect that, but it makes me happy. The good news is: if I can do it anybody can. I was a hard core addict, starting to fap 3 times a day for the last 19 years. Having lots of trouble in relationships and sexuality, always suffering from some kind of ego-driven depression and social anxiety like lots of you guys.
When I started this journey years ago I failed spectacularly again and again. I had no streak longer than 2 weeks before. And even that I managed only two times. Then I reached a point where i decided to take anything that it would throw at me (and it threw a lot at me). And I learned to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
I’m 35.
This forum helped me a lot and I want to give something back by sharing my experience. So thank you..and good luck to everyone out there. Don’t lose your faith. Keep going strong. Reach for the stars. Love you.
