I'm either living super healthy or super unhealthy?

    When I am living healthy I am sober, my diet is healthy, I do intermittent fasting, exercise, and for the most part quite easily stay away from PMO.

    When I am living unhealthy I am drinking heavy amounts of alcohol, my diet is crap, I don't fast, I hardly ever exercise, and I go in to extreme PMO binges.

    The thing with me is there doesn't seem to be an in between, I am either living super healthy or super unhealthy.

    We all have triggers for PMO, and I know for a fact my biggest trigger is caused by alcohol. Alcohol just seems to mess up every area of my life it seems. When I am not drinking I hardly ever get urges to PMO. When I am drinking I wake up the following day, I feel horny beyond belief, I get out of control urges and go in to PMO binges for days.

    The strange thing is though even though my life is so much better without alcohol, why do I still get an overwhelming urge to go back to it? The longer I am away from alcohol the more excited I get at the thought of drinking and going out partying with friends. I truly believe if I drink alcohol it's pretty much guaranteed I am going to PMO the following day, It's actually likely I'll go in to a PMO binge.

    But even though my life is so much better without alcohol and PMO, I am very bored most of the time.

    But yeah I can usually easily refuse porn and artificial sexual stimulation if I am not drinking, and I rarely ever MO either when I am not drinking. When I am drinking I am going on out of control PMO binges.

    The worry is though even though this is the case, I still get a powerful urge to return to alcohol.

    I'm in the same situation. At the moment I have not been drinking alcohol for more than 3 weeks and I am slowly missing it. NoPMO and alcohol just don't get along and so I try to stay strong. And you should do it too!

    Alcohol is far worse than porn in my opinion. I gave alcohol up twenty years ago,no looking back.

    Yeah they definitely don't get a long.

    My PMO urges are out of control for days after I have been drinking.

    That's great man. Did you used to have a big problem with it?

    I find life really boring without it for some reason. But that's strange considering how much mentally and psychically healthier I feel without it.

    I have the same general problem. I’m either all in or all out. I know for me I struggle with perfectionism, despair, and an unwillingness to forgive (especially myself). So if I slip up in some area I decide it’s either too hard, or I’m not strong enough, or that if I’m in for a penny then I’m in for a pound. I find some success when I try to learn that I’m not perfect and neither is anyone else, and when I learn to forgive others and myself for failures.

    See to be completely honest with you I feel Like I am somewhat of a perfectionist. When I am doing certain things I need to do them 100% correctly, and if I am not it drives me crazy. I have quite severe ocd though, and that's what I thought it was that caused me to be like this.
