I'm on day 3 today and i'm struggling. Everything in me is telling me to look at something sexual, something that will leave me aroused and stimulated. Its always day 3 that hits me hard. My mind is thinking of every excuse to make me say fuck it and watch porn. I get thoughts like, "If you slip today its ok, you can always start over tomorrow." Its always the same old story. My whole body is itching. I can feel it from underneath my skin, from head to toe, its consuming my body. Its so easy to just give in. When climbing a mountain, its easier to let go and fall than to keep climbing. I'm tired of falling, I'm going to keep climbing.

Hello, I can relate to that. I'm on my day 3 too. I've come clear today about some things about my life and my marriage, leaving me somewhat depressed, and I was minutes away from MO'ing just before. I'm sorry to see that you've reset your counter. But don't let that get you down. It's just a setback, not a defeat. All the best and good luck for your next try, Oliver
I'm experiencing the same thing, right now this very moment. That's why I went on the forum now, because I was overcome with that feeling and needed to get my mind over to something else. White-knuckle it. Push on through. You have to learn to deal with that feeling in new, healthy ways. You will succeed. You are here for a reason, that means you had the leverage to make a decision for yourself and follow up on it.
I just got to day 3 myself and relapsed literally 10 mins ago, like an idiot I started feeling sorry for myself, fact I ain't been training lately has made me feel shitty about my body, I'm so pissed off, counter has been reset, i'm gonna do this even if it kills me, I have to improve my life and become the man I have always seen myself becoming
Thanks for the support guys. Yea i relapsed on wednesday before thanksgiving. I did it to reward myself for making progress and since the holidays were here, i mind as well treat myself just this last time. Big fucking mistake. I had a PMO binge for the next 3 days. It was stupid of me and unsatisfying. Relapsing led to depression and me feeling empty. It feels like every time i masturbate, i piece of my soul is taken from me. Nevertheless, im back and im not giving up. Today is the 2nd day of being PMO free. I feel great and more motivated than ever. I'll check back in when i beat my previous record which is 4 days. Thanks for the support and good luck to you all.
