    On my first attempt, 23rd day in and first day i havnt been able to really fill it with activities. Laying on the couch watching a movie and the thought of my last sexual encounter popped in, ive been good at blocking all sexual thought buy i started to indulge this one. Got to the point where my dick went hard and i thrusted onto the couch, my alert blasted on and i stopped myself immediately but then realised i felt slightly relaxed, then drained like i would feel after pmo. Thought about sex just for a second to test and yup, not much desire there like if i had pmo'd. FU**! I thought...right before i passed out. Just woke up and feeling brainfog back, and i dont know if its just anger at this or not but possible anxiety.

    Did i really just relapse in 10 seconds witgout any porn or orgasm?!?!? Have i reset!?!?

    No, you haven't reset.

    That's temporary.

    It's your brain craving, and is a sign that you're healing!

    :D :p :D :p :D :p

    I agree with @llortaton .. you didn’t relapse. In fact, you caught yourself before doing so.. at least that’s what it sounds like to me. I think you can call this one a victory. You overcame an urge. Stopped yourself before letting your old habits win.

    Im not so sure, i felt an obvious dopamine comedown after i caught myself. Has this happened to you? I sort of feel like your saying this so i dont get discouraged.

    That is your brain, reacting to the urges.

    Its normal, its part of the healing process.

    When drug addicts abstain for a month, and then they crave and urge, they feel like shit afterwards, because that's their dopamine receptors signaling the brain, and craving.

    Trust me brother, I know psychology.

    This bad feeling doesn't last too long. :p

    Have a good day! I hope you live the most prosperous life there is!!!! :p :p :p
