    It's come to the point where my thoughts, fantasies control me and not the other way around. I can't stop to save my life. It is affecting my daily life. It is is affecting my job. I will not bash myself down to the point where I think I am hopeless, because I know I am better than that. But I need help. I'll come clean, I was an earlier nofap member. But then i quit. Now I am going to try again. With the help of fellow fapstronauts, I believe I can achieve my aim. I have one question. Every time I see a pretty girl on the road, the urges come flooding. I can't control myself. How do you resist ?

    Remember your motivations. Force yourself to look away, chanting words such as "I can do this, I can do this."

    Thank you. To suggest a different approach, I don't want to stop being normal by avoiding women. IMHO, I don't think it is correct to shy away from the problem, because someday I will have to interact with women, spandex wearing women at the gym, or women wearing swimsuits at my local swimming pool. What I would like to do is, face my "fears", face my temptations and overcome them. I don't want to look away, neither do I want to stare at women as a creep. I need to stop looking at women as objects. An object to leer at. What I need is to find the strength to treat women as myself. How do I go about finding that strength ? Any suggestions?

    p:s - Just ranting here on this forum is helping me get things off my chest. If anything, I hope this will give me a foot hold to build on and leap ahead.
