    so I had been on a 7 day streak but then one slip ul led me to relapse. noe i have relapsed 5 days in a row and I feel i'm beack in the same vicious circle again. In the 4 years I have been addicted I have never gone longer than two weeks without PMO. someone please help, how to get out of binging and back on another streak?!!!!

    pmo addiction is truly unlike any addiction or anything in the world. it destroys hearts, minds, bodies, self esteem, and spirituality. never have i known something as evil as pmo addiction. how can be that some people can go two years clean but are still prone to relapses and strong urges?! no other addiction in the world does that happen. HELP.

    I think this is a good time to evaluate what brings you too break your streak. Obviously, the urge grew until you couldn't resist, but try to find HOW the urge first rooted and what fed the growth.

    Was it within minutes? Was it actually hours? A series of events that led to stress, exhaustion, depression?

    Also, restraining from PMO is not enough. You have to actively train your mind not to think about triggers or of casually thinking of sexual content. This is a good example of what keeps addicts clean and what causes a lifetime of relapses. (Imo)

    I second that.

    I'm on Day 16, and since Day 8 or so I haven't found it to be particularly tough. And the reason is that I avoid all the things that start me down the road to pmo.

    No checking out cute girls on Facebook, for example. No looking at dating or escort sites. No clicking on scantily clad girls on the Internet. Basically, nothing that artificially simulates.

    Also, avoiding high-risk environments. For me that means avoiding going on the Internet when I'm at home alone at night.

    It's a lot easier to avoid these gateways than it is to avoid pmo when you're alone, turned on, and with easy access to the Internet.

    Hope that helps.
