    Today has been full of triggers, and I'm beginning to reach my limit. I'm on the best streak I've had for over a week, but all i want to do right now is PMO and the urges are ridiculous.

    I really don't want to lose my streak, can someone please help?

    No you don't.Your brain is playing tricks on you in order to give in but you know better that this.I don't think you want to be a miserable person who is controlled by this filthy habit.Now is the time to stay strong.No matter how hard it is you need to keep on forward otherwise you are dead in the water.The first week is hard after that it gets easier so don't give in.Keep moving forward and in the end it will be all worth it.If you give up now you are proving to yourself that you are weak and you are not in control of your actions.This is the time to prove that you are in control.This is the time to prove that you are the winner in this battle

    Just give your addiction a face of a demon and think about how you are in a war with it.

    Get up. Move. Change your location and activity. Go eat an apple, or drink a coke or coffee or whatever. Go out for a walk.

    All that can do wonders. Also...

    Stop and ask yourself: what am I feeling? Am I lonely, angry or frustrated, tired or hungry or sad? These are moods when we are often temped. What we REALLY need, if lonely, is to deal with that loneliness; if frustrated or angry, deal with that directly. Acting out is often a way we respond to these moods. Even hunger can trigger us.

    And also, ask if you're missing something you need. My own theory is that we need connection with others, we need beauty, and we need to make a difference. When we feel low on these measures, we are tempted to act out. The thing is, it doesn't help; it only makes it all worse.

    Remind yourself to distinguish between needs and desires. You titled this thread "I need to PMO." No, you want to PMO. As adults, we have to practice denying ourselves the things we want that aren't healthy for us. But don't allow your addict you manipulate you into thinking it's a need. No one ever died from abstaining from PMO.

    Okay, I can't bring myself to lie to you in this situation. Shortly after creating this post, I PMO'd and threw away the best streak I'd had in about 2 weeks. I can't tell you how I feel right now, the emotional pain is unbearable, but I'm just gonna reset the counter and start over again, because that's all I can do.
     
  10. Hey dude I relapsed yesterday so I understand how you feel but know that better days are coming personally me I find day 1 always very hard to pass after a long streak but we have To Remember THAT It's PHYCOLIGICAL Remember We Don't Need PMO AND Once YOU GIVE in to porn you'll always feel much worse.

    @chris555 I know, I'm just going to forget about it because it's in the past and there's nothing I can do for it now. Sorry to hear you relapsed, hopefully we can both do better this time. i feel like I could make more progress after passing the 4 day mark for the first time in a while, so hopefully I can come back even stronger like last time.
