    "Let’s talk about the bowel movement issue.

    The bowel movement issue would frequently make an appearance on the rebooting forums, because according to TCM: the kidneys govern both urination and bowel movement. Weakened kidneys give rise to problems in both areas, we do not need to mention more regarding urination issues, brothers with prostatitis have ample experience in this I believe.
    Kidney deficiency induced issues can be grouped into 2 categories:

    1. Diarrhea or unshaped stool.
    2. Frequent bowel movements.

    Many factors play a role in causing diarrhea and frequent bowel movements, kidney deficiency being one factor among them. Everybody might remember that the stool quality was very good when we were children, firstly the color is good and secondly, the shape is good. Children have an abundance of yang qi, their child body has not yet been damaged. In the absence of other illnesses, the digestion and absorption ability is often very good. Things are different once we become older, firstly we indulge via masturbation, secondly, we intake more cold beverages and spicy food, or the dietary habits may be poor, pigging out on food and drink and so on. All of these lead to obstacles for the function of the digestive systems, screenings in the hospital will not reveal anything, only the function has become disorderly.

    Children will not have issues with taking some cold beverages because they have an abundance of yang qi which enables transformation. After sexual indulgences it is no longer the same, upon taking cold beverages, disorders may easily appear in the stomach and intestines. Therefore, it is important to mind the diet and not yearn for cold and spicy food. If you are troubled by diarrhea or frequent bowel movements, the best way would be to seek medical treatment, then to combine it with rebooting, health cultivation, active exercises, keeping a mindful diet, and slowly recuperate. I have experienced both the issue of diarrhea and frequent bowel movement. My frequent bowel movements started after I turned 19 and it troubled me for over 2 years, it was induced precisely by sexual indulgence and cold beverages. After I turned 26 my diarrhea started again which was induced by exposure to AC, pigging out on food and drinks and sexual indulgences. After I started to reboot, I frequently employed moxibustion and applied it on the Zusanli and the Shenque acupoint and slowly recuperated, it took over 1 year of time."

    Thank you, @RiseToGreatness!

    Abe’s here for a day 1 check in. A year ago I went for 45 days, not even consciously trying to avoid PMO, and felt great! I broke my streak really because of boredom. Not this time. My first goal is to reach 60 days. Let’s see how this goes.

    Day 41
    This week was very hard for me. I am watching Dark nowadays, I am at s3e5 (no spoilers pls :D ) If you watched the show, then you would know that some episodes began with sex scenes. For a man who wants to quit pm as me, it was a little bit hard not to think them for the rest of the day. Those scenes resurrected the will of watching p. I am ok now.

    Day 27. I had my first real urges today and they were strong. Was I in flatline from day 1? Maybe! They have gone now. But I welcome them back, if they dare, because I will simply beat them again.

    Day 2

    I have not been on since the 23rd on which day I went on a bender. It started on the 22nd and continued onto the 23rd, and I could not face you guys with my downfall, until I made it a couple days without PMO. So I am back, and doing alright. I have been getting up by 11AM the last week, and I was up until 4AM last night working on homework. The goal is to get a good night’s sleep tonight and rise at 6AM tomorrow, and continue that for the remainder of the week and beyond. I have felt really crummy lately, and I have not been holding myself accountable, but now I am planning to get back on that horse and have a successful next week. It has been a few weeks since I have been a Hobbit, and so my next goal is to make it to Hobbit level. That is still almost two weeks away, but by the time I see my therapist in two Wednesdays from now I hope to be 13 days clean and to tell him of my progress.

    Best,
    Mathman1994

    Well I am doing well so far. I woke up and didn't masturbate and resisted the urges. I am on the right path.

    I watched p because of some triggers and relapsed..now I feel too unworthy to become anything. I feel too sad due to this and don't know how brain didn't understood where was I trying to reach I don't know if I ever will end this lust in my soul. I feel bad because I know this is not the type of person I want to be,I felt so good till a few days ago but just a moment passed so did my streak end with it.Just so disappointed on myself but I yet believe I will never stop the process and again begin the streak I'll post daily from tomorrow and will definitely remain on this path for my whole life.
