I have been away from IML subs for quite a while and decided to get back to them.
My last run was the first version of Ultra Motivation/Overcoming Procrastination. Due to an erratic listening pattern caused by the nature of my job, I abandoned the sub after about a month of listening. During that run, I experienced reverse resistance with a sudden spike in my level of procrastination.
As I mentioned here, the benefit I got from it was I stopped PMO. I thought it was just random as It was not listed in the goals of the sub. One member (I can't remember who) also mentioned he stopped PMO while using the sub. This made me conclude those results were thanks to the sub. I even joked to myself Shannon may have used the wrong "OP" script for the sub.
Anyways, more than a month after I stopped using the sub, I shot myself in the foot by deliberately forcing myself to get back to watching porn. At least that's what I believed. I had developed a habit of PMO that I got paranoid when I did not have the desire for it anymore. So, I had to "test it". Dumb, I know.
Well, on to my current run of version 2 of the sub. I started last week, with a day off on Sunday. The first four days were excellent! I would normally do unproductive stuff when I get back from my job in the evening. However, just after the first day of listening, I came back from work and had a strong urge to complete some Uni coursework I had been avoiding. I spent two hours straight on it! I woke up before 6 am the next morning feeling refreshed. This happened every morning for the first four days.
I guess that was just a teaser of what the sub can do because I did not experience the same motivation when I took the ASRB break and afterwards. Tonight will be my fourth night of listening, so I'm hoping my motivation will kick in again after the break.
Back to PMO. I decided to get back on nofap back in January. It's been challenging as I still had the urges even after 80+ days on hardcore mode. Just like with my first run of this sub, the urges have greatly reduced after I started listening. On Monday, I found myself deleting most of the bookmarks to porn sites on my phone. I no longer show interest in adult videos shared in some Whatsapp group chats I'm in. I still have some bookmarks on my phone, but I want to delete them "naturally" as I did with the ones on Monday.
Shout out to @RogueTwelve and @CatMan. Your posts on getting rid of this addiction made me start this thread.
