    I read about Chasers this morning and I'm really glad there is a name for this because it applies to me this next couple of days.

    I am a "P" addict but am not in hard mode because I don't consider myself an "O" addict. "M" for me does not happen without "P" ... maybe only 10 times in my whole life have I masturbated without some form of pornography.

    I am going for 90 days without P/M but being married I have decided, at least this time, to continue to sleep with my wife when possible (with two kids, this isn't as often as I'd like). I feel that my addiction to porn has little to do with my sex life, though sex can trigger the a PMO.

    I started this on 7/23 and made it 7 days before we slept together. Then, I immediately relapsed and PMO'd later that evening and again the next day. It turns out this is a phenomenon known as a "chaser," or an increased likelihood of relapse 72 hours within a sexual encounter.

    A big thanks to the community for coining this term. Just knowing that the term and phenomenon exists is hugely empowering in my attempts to soldier on to my 90 days.

    Anyone else have issues with Chasers? Experiences to share?
