    Hey everyone!

    I just recently went seven days without PMO and caved in. I was feeling great. I have gone 28 days in the past but 90 days is still beyond me. So what happened?

    A little about me first. 33 years old, happily married, no issues with confidence or girls. Just a guy who realizes the dark worm hole that PMO leads to. I hate it (truly) and no longer wish to be a slave to this.

    I realized that the first few days are easy but its like a tension builds up inside after a few days and the urges become blinding. Every time I have relapsed it has been because I was ignoring my own thoughts, completely drunk off my own urges. I temporarily become someone else, ignoring all rational thoughts.

    I don't think keeping busy all the time is the answer. I think we need to learn to leave with the urges and fight them/ignore them, become the masters of them, not the slaves. I do think this forum is a truly special place so when that urge comes, I will post on this thread and continue to go about my day.

    I will not beat myself up, I will start again. Yesterday was the last day, today is day 1.

    I want to thank you all for all the great posts and inspiration. I hope to return the favour ten fold.

    Onward and forward!
