    Hey everyone. I am currently at around day 4 or so and am trying my hardest to go at-least 7 days. Currently the urges to watch P are pretty intense. I am alone at home and have no place to go. What are some methods I can use to moderate these urges and get through this. I worked out and I also meditated, but the urges are still here. I need some support to fight this, and I would love to use and try new methods to overcome these.

    Nice. I took one after my workout. It did seem to help a bit.

    I just built some shelves. You just did a workout. I think anything constructive helps.

    I'm also a believer in cold showers. Unfortunately, cold showers are more like luke-warm here until the winter.

    The only website you should be fantasizing about is nofap.com.

    Awesome.
    Can you tell us why meditation and workout didn’t help ?
    Workouts (at least the longer ones) help me a lot since my urges don’t last like 30 min and at that time I’m still working out.

    One more tip.
    Leave your room. Enter other surroundings. Go for a walk. Listen to music. But leave the pc and phone and tablet or whatever.

    Stay strong man!

    Workouts definitely help, but the urges come back sometimes.

    Honestly the only real method I've found is to keep yourself occupied to try avoid urges wherever possible, just fill your day with anything, I go to the mall on my days off work and just wander round to keep myself occupied. 5-htp works great to subdue urges as well. Lots of guys swear by cold showers but I'm too much of a wimp for them lol. Other than that go to the gym, try obsess yourself with the world of fitness to give you something to pour all this extra energy into
