P.A.W.S. - what are they, cure, duration

How long did it take to recover?

 

can't remember exactly --but around 6 to 8 months on monk mode & no nightfalls

 

I truly see abstinence as only one component of recovery, the metabolzing, processing and surrdendering of negative emotions, and their associated attitudes is the true healing component. Abstinence is neccassary only to facilitate the subconcious emotional healing. David Hawkins has a good model on this. Addiction all stem from the red and orange parts, and we supress them:

 

I remember your username from the beginning of this thread. Glad we all are getting serious about healing addictions once and for all. Wish you best of luck mate

 

No WDs? How?

 

I think sleeping too much causes wet dreams. It always happens then with me.

 

Hello rebooters something very good happened today. I am not healed 100% from PAWS yet but today I was able to run again after 2.7 years of daily weakness.

About 4 years ago after lockdown from covid-19 I started to run daily to improve my health, and over the course of 1 year I got so much better and stronger than when I started. Then suddenly I had to stop because my PAWS symptoms got so bad (I started my current reboot), and I became so weak that couldn't do it anymore. Until today.

I know a succes story is always better to hear than some dude on the internet saying he run today. But I was so weak for so long I forgot the feeling of how exercise felt like, and the satisfaction that comes after. NoFap is real, benefits are real. Sometimes it happens slowly and sometimes overnight, but something as simple as this shows me is real and all this pain I went through is going to be worth it, and everything will work out in the end. Have a great day.

 

It's PAWS brother. I felt like you the whole weekend and had a good day today. The only way out of this is to keep moving forward.

This scene is very cliche and be shared a million times but I'll share it again.

 

Those on a long streak (hard mode) and are religious, did you experience a difficult time discerning prayers (receiving answers)? I'm trying to find out if I have this problem because of me doing it soft mode or is it from P. Would love an answer.

 

Really pleased for you, and thanks for sharing - it's the sort of thing I need to hear right now!

 

Sorry to take the enthusiasm of my post from yesterday but today was a difficult day. My powers are gone again, at least for a day I enjoyed what normal feels like.

 

Glad that depression is no longer there. Do you suffer from body pain? Has it healed or it never existed? What about anxiety?

 

I was wondering if something like this would happen - it always has with me. You over-do things one day, even if things seem fine at the time, and pay for it the next. Exercise intolerance. I think you're still making progress though.

 

I've had days where I feel good for some time and I go out for a short walk, but this is the first time in years I could exercise.

It's just PAWS, and it sucks. Bro I miss my old self (and I used to complain about myself so much in the past because of my social anxiety), never thought things could get even worse. What else can we do? PMO is not an option anymore, we know where it leads, nowhere. We gotta keep going.
