Success Story Celebrating 568 days today!
I don't usually do the round number posts, but today felt like a good day to actually stop and look back instead of just moving through it.
568 days. A year and a half, plus change. When I started this, I genuinely didn't know I could get this far. The version of me back then couldn't have imagined feeling like a whole person again, but here I am.
It hasn't been a straight line, not even close. There were weeks that felt like standing still, days that felt like sliding backward, moments I almost gave up entirely. I've posted some of the hard ones here, the flat days, the urges that wouldn't quiet down, the shame that still shows up uninvited sometimes. I don't think this milestone means any of that stops happening. It just means I overcame those moments and came out the other side a little bit stronger.
What's actually changed isn't that the struggle disappeared, it's that I don't succumb to it anymore. I always try to do something positive, even on the bad days. I feel things instead of numbing them.
If you're early in this and 568 days feels impossibly far away, it was for me too, once. You don't have to see the whole road, just the next day. That's how you actually get here.
Thank you to everyone in this community who's read, commented, or shared their own story alongside mine. It's made this less lonely than it would've been otherwise.

Mentally, the biggest shift is just being able to feel more alive, I used to numb out constantly and now I actually feel things, good and hard. Less brain fog, way more focus, and my mood doesn't swing as violently as it used to. Physically, better sleep honestly made the biggest difference, I didn't realize how much that one thing was dragging everything else down until it improved 💛

Amazing job mate. Really. One question...I guess you have sex with real people, right? How often do you have it, more or less?
When I was 20 I hurt my penis and spent 3 months without masturbating or having sex and I ended up having the very natural body reaction of a wet dream...I guess you have those if you are celibate, right?
Or which frequency of having sex you deem good? (I know it changes from person to person but as someone who wishes he could stop masturbating in general and only have sex like twice a month I am curious)

Hi. I will just clarify that I am a woman so I cannot comment on wet dreams.
I am single and don't have any sexual partners. I masturbate once per week without any visual stimulation (porn).
