This is such a big deal to me In the past, I have PMO'd after a frustrating situation but now that I'm on NoFap I just dealt with it by doing what I can to deal with the situation/person and letting that be as I cannot do anything more and need to wait for the results of my actions. I've accepted this and now I'm moved on! No PMO! In the past, I totally would have!
Good on you. That just goes to show its truly an empty, non-fulfilling cope. Keep these wins in mind the next time you want to pmo as a stress relief as proof that you can get through it no matter how tempting it feels. David goggins calls this the cookie jar.
Thanks! I will definitely try to remember this for next time. I actually have some mixed feelings now, not in terms of PMO but those frustrating situations (had to end up calling the police) led me to have a mini meltdown yesterday but the good thing was that I still did not PMO!
