    It just occurred to me that I'm sabotaging my 7 day streak. I have been dealing with a lot of feelings of loneliness and I have joined some Facebook dating groups. For the average person this would not be trigger, but for me its setting off quite a few urges and I find myself white-knuckling it. I know what steps I need to take to prevent a relapse but I dont like this lonely feeling and I desperately want to feel a connection with a woman. Anyway as stated before I know what I must do, but is not easy. Thanks for reading!

    Also posting comments always help me when I'm not doing well.

    Hang in there. I think feelings of being lonely are a major contributor of PMO. At the same time, it is a repeating cycle. You fap to avoid the lonely feelings. It works for that period of time. Then, you feel a pronounced on-going feeling of loneliness. If you don't get control of PMO, the connection you are able to make with a woman won't last or be what you would want, because you will derail that too. Trust me, I know.

  3. Oh man my feelings are all over the place! Just accept them and try to do positive things, even if it's just positive documentaries or something.

    One of the most beta thing I've ever read.Dude, you're a MAN, you're supposed to DEAL with your fucking life ! Yes you're feeling lonely as shit because you were a fucking PMO addict your whole life and now that you don't use porn to escape reality you're FORCED to face it and it feels uncomfortable.Well, welcome to the party pal! Oh, you desperately want a woman ? I'm tellin' you, being desperate won't get you any girl anyways.Focus on yourself first, vagina comes later.I'm not tellin' you to not find a girl, but you shouldn't be a desperate-ass, needy, beta-box boy.Be confident and respect yourself.
