Wether or not to reset is ultimately up to you. In my experience, I would often excuse this kind of behavior but it would always inevitably be followed by a real relapse later. I think the main thing is for you to realise this is bad and inexcusable behavior. You can do that by resetting your counter so as to be 100% firm to yourself, if this will help you to not do it again. This has been my recent strategy and it has helped me to realise the gravity of what I did. But maybe you are stronger than me and you can keep your counter, see the danger of what you did, never do it again and keep on with your journey towards the 90 days. Either way, know that you didn't destroy your process. Every time you didn't look at P is a win and you don't lose those wins, no matter if there's some slips on the way.
Thank you guys for expressing your opinions!! It really helps me a lot!! My decision is to not reset my counter. I believe that a reset will be bad for me and in 2-3 days i would like to relapse, if i reset. Besides i think i restrained myself very quickly yesterday and somehow it shows an unusual strength for me. So i continue my streak and i am determined not to allow staring at sexy models. I think that i took my lesson immediately. Now its the time to face my urges. Maybe my weakness to face these urges at this point was the reason i wasn't able to accomplish bigger streaks at past. So I have to be stronger and work on my mindset. This time i will face my urges. In case i will consciously stare at sexy models again in the future i will reset my counter for sure. Thank you again guys!!! Stay strong!!
Day 51 No M Day 156 No P Kinda late today. Will come back with a video tomorrow! Have a nice evening guys!
IMO, that would not be a reset In my mind since you didn't masturbate or orgasm and only watched 5 minutes. Enjoy your day, guilt free and just try not to do it again is my advice.
Day 1/90 Back on track again I really feel that I made mistake by doing that relapse. It cost me 4 good days I could have been on day 5 but one little mistake. I took a one look at porn site and I relapsed within 4 hours. So I understand the culprit it looking at porn so I won't touch the porn block again.
Checking in, Day 16/90. Staying true to my 90 day commitment. Ran into a cute coworker again. Same place. We both take a 2 minute shuttle bus from our work site to the parking lot. This time I told her we should exchange phone numbers after we got off the bus. She responded with “I have a boyfriend”. Im cool with it. I took action, experienced rejection, and I now have a positive experience to draw from. Stick to the challenge, it’s so worth it. The short term pleasure is not worth it. Know that both You and Your Life are far too valuable to waste on P or P-subs. You got this! Men, we’ve got to get a handle on this, it’s too serious not too. Your friend, Lamboskovich
