    I've been on no pmo since January 2018.

    My longest streaks are,
    146
    96
    62
    60
    54
    45
    40
    31
    25
    + many smaller ones
    Roughly 600+ days out of ~800.

    I relapsed on 146 couple months ago.
    Current streak is 26 days.

    I used to edge occasionally in previous streaks but this time I'm avoiding edging.

    In this streak, I cannot stop thinking of porn scenes and dirty thoughts since day 0. I have no urge to pmo but I'm horny af every day and replaying pervasive thoughts over and over, more than ever before, more than on previous streaks, more than when I used to pmo daily. Its ruining my focus and I often find myself with my hands in my pants ready to edge. I fear i will edge again and possibly MO.

    How do i end this?

    u know streaks are just number and will be just number if u cant eliminate all the bad habit that cause relapse.

    for the dirty thing's , u said that porn is not the case anymore that's good then

    i had that kind of thinking ass well for the prevention i do
    1. Fasting = fasting really turn off my libido bro
    2. u must have a mindset to respect the woman and stop ogling on her ( u can search for ogling issue in this forum too)
    3. dont over reacted to it , just relax bro. some day u will forgot about that horny af think and just moving forward

  3. You stop thinking of streaks and you live every day as day 0. When it becomes too much you take 4 deep breaths in and out, each once as big as you can with your eyes closed. Then you pour that sexual energy into something creative. Rinse repeat and those urges slowly become easier to manage. I still get them almost daily as well they are just easier to let pass now.
     
  4. Think of your addiction like a kid that is screaming for candy. If his parent has given in 100 times before, why should now be any different? So, the tantrum begins. We all know that yelling and screaming at a child does not work, so why not try speaking gently to your addiction, and say, "Look, I know what you want, but you are not getting it. You can cry. You can scream. You can roll on the floor. Good for you. But you are not getting what you want. Yes, I hear you screaming. What a big voice you have! Impressive. No, you do not get what you want."
    Okay, I know this must sound really dumb, but it's worked for me. Fighting fire with fire never works.
