    Hi everyone, So today i relapsed once again with one MO and then one PMO I just cant seem to get past one week without PMO my current longest streak has been 8 days and i've been on this site with around 2 months. I'm feeling very down these last couple of day I don't know why, I'm getting constant 4-7 day streaks but then I just convince myself to fap.

    honestly I'm just sad these last few days and i really don't have any reason for it. I just want to feel like normal again have friends I can trust and in general be happy which just isn't me right now. I'm just kind of writing this because I'm bored and feel that I might feel a bit better just telling people even if it is a group of anonymous people..

    Im in the same situation same longest streak, you've just got to think what is it which causes your triggers? for me its usually boredom and staying in the house, im only on day 1 right now but by day 3 - 4 i get huge urges but will stay out the house so i cant relapse. keep messaging on this post and we ll both get too 7 days man!
     
  3. you have to think of the cravings as your enemy. During your reboot you have to be on guard because those fuckers are nearby but you don't know when their gonna jump you. You have to anticipite them and be ready to kick that bitch in the face. Expect them, be ready, cravings are the enemy!

    Hi. Practice doing the following:

    Whenever you get the thought of porn, or a fantasy, or an urge ...... Ask yourself the following question "Where does this lead ?"

    Then think about how you feel right after you orgasm, think about how you feel standing at the toilet wiping off, think about all of the negative effects of PMO.

    I find this really deflates an urge or fantasy. As soon as I make my mind think about the pain and suffering from PMO, it really kills the buzz of arousal

    Thanks for the replies brothers, I'm starting again counter has been reset and I'm trying to motivate myself, I just generally feel depressed today and yesterday and I don't have any reason for it. I'll take on all the advice and try my best to beat the week!

    It is trying not to masturbate to porn that is depressing you. It is because you are restricting an addictive, rewarding action. In other words, it is a withdrawal symptom. This will dog you during the early part of your reboot. Remember, too, that we often jerk off to porn when we experience negative feelings. So be aware of this pitfall, grit your teeth and stay stopped! :)

    But I don't really know how to deal with it because I did PMO yesterday and I still feel shitty, could it be that I'm experiencing a flatline? I was thinking this because the last 2 months I've constantly had week long streaks with only 1 or 2 days MO or PMO inbetween?

    Hey man, i have relapsed once too, but now i am feeling pretty confident that i can finish this.I am constantly doing something else.If you have an urge to masturbate, just go outside jogging, everyone can do it and also working out.When working out you are feeling stronger, a little testosterone is produced making you more manly(in your mind) and thinking masturbating is not something you should do.And also keep away from your triggers.In my first attempt i thought if i just view nude images and gifs without masturbating i will be fine and even edging(which is the worst), but i was wrong.If you start watching these images, you feed your brain with dopamine and it keeps its level high for hours and making you wanting to masturbate.That's all from me man, keep educating yourself about that.Knowledge is power!
