    Day 1/90
    This is my first day, and I am committed to checking in everyday for the next 90 days. Again, I am iterating on the three strategies that I am taking to prevent myself from masturbating
    1. No electronics in bedroom ever
    2. Workout everyday
    3. Hold my breath in case of emergency

    I think the first day was easy, and I know it is going to become harder. Let's go!

    Day 0. I relapsed PMO this time.

    I saw a bunch of prostitutes while I was on my way home looking at me...
    And I knew that this and the next week I'll be working and leaving at 10pm, where those kinds of things and other things are more likely to happen.
    While I am a weakened, low self-esteem, low confident person it makes the whole thing unbareable. It's just a fucking shit show every day.
    My relapse happened simply because of my inconvenient schedule, which I will have to further change to max work until 7pm or something like that and hope that I won't get fired.

    You see, the problem here is that when I get home at 11pm and have cravings, I can't go for a walk, because I need to go to sleep to not mess with my sleep rhytm and don't want to get robbed on the street. I can do stretches at this time, but rather don't do strength exercises before sleep.
    But then I need some extra time to fall asleep, so I end up sleeping very late.
    At 11pm there aren't many things I can do. So I tried the self talk, but that didn't work this time, as I knew that the way things are going for me right now, are going to be insane from here on and after, if I don't change my schedule.

    Generally speaking, going for a walk is a good way to keep you away from porn for a while after having done self-talk and stretches and maybe exercise, because each thing you do to replace the urge sometimes only decreases the urge a little bit. Meaning that even though you did things to get rid of the cravings, they are still there, so you will need to suffer a little or a lot sometimes as well, unless you're able to socialize with people at those times.

    So I need to adjust my job schedule or find another job with a fixed schedule and that's it. Then I can do things after work without having to worry about shifts.

    Then I can better implement a new lifestyle.

    With these confusing rotating shifts, it just won't work for me at this stage, period.

    I get what you're saying and I don't intend to leave it off all the time: I know there will be moments that I might need it. But I do want to get to the point where I can see pixels on a screen for what they are: not exciting and beautiful human beings that can turn me on, just pixels on a screen. It shouldn't be this thing that I secretly want to look at and still think of as something appealing but I'm keeping myself away from. No, I wanna be able to see porn, maybe even get a hard-on looking at it, and then decide: yeah, this really holds no interest for me.

    Friday went really well: there were a few moments where I thought, hey, I can go to all my favourite sites from the past now. But then I thought: why would I? I knew it'd be exciting for a few minutes and then extremely frustrating and depressing. So I didn't.

    That does sound like the textbook definition of a shitty night. I feel for you, man. But great that you realise that PMO is not something that would have made things better, instead, it would made things far worse.

    My thoughts exactly. The blocker never really works, because temptations pop up in the most stupid and unexpected places, exactly as you're saying. So yeah, I wanna be able to face that and just turn my head away and not be interested.
