day 38 almost slipped... or did I? started pmo but stopped - does that count???

I think it's relative. If you reset the clock you might just slip quickly into porn itself and say "well the counter is 0 anyway". So perhaps write a note that you slipped and not reset it completely so you can continue and not fall into a cycle of defeat again?

 

Meh i had a similar experience and honestly i feel like resetting thr counter is getting too strict on the process. Did you excite the neural pathway a bit yes did you blow your load setting your dopamine pathway blazing for the 3 seconds of joy no. Scientifically speaking you probily didnt do that much damage to your dopamine system that yoyre trying to reboot so i say no.

At the end of the day i feel likegoing way too extreme on any spectrum is unhealthy. Slipups happen you didnt O. Dont do it again keep moving forward

 

Be VERY careful now, for the next two weeks at least. A pseudo-slip like this will have you itching for more. Youll most likely end up relapsing within two weeks unless you take extra precautions to steer clear of the addiction. My two cents man. Take care and dont fap. Its not worth it at all.

 

This is very true. Every time I've watched porn, I've relapsed within a few days or so. Once you've given permission to your mind to watch porn, it's very likely going to be a relapse in the upcoming days. It's a vicious cycle.

 

All the best for next coming days hope u don't relapse

 

Try look into The Sinclair Method for naltrexone use. You use naltrexone and PMO while you are on it. I know it sounds wrong but somehow your brain will not get the pleasure from PMO while youre on Naltrexone and overtime will dissasociate pleasure with PMO. But be careful not to PMO while youre not on Naltrexone as it will get you readdicted. You can read the book The Cure for Alcoholism by Roy Eskapa. Theres a section on Sex addiction and how it might help. Im currently fighting my way to get a perscription for it and have seen many doctors over many months. Not many docrors are aware of this.
