If you dive deep enough into experiencing a "craving" you'll see that it simultaneously is nothing at all and anything you like. Nov 6, 2023

  Resisted temptation and that hopeless "Won't these fantasies ever go away?" feeling last night. Today feels fresh, open with possibilities.

    Was torn between sublimation or transmutation. The concepts are certainly interchangeable. Went with transmute as I liked the simplicity of the phonetics.

    I like it, too, because it has to do with changing the shape of things, like changing the shape of your life like clay. Imagine transmuting from an average joe into a billionaire superstar! ;) Or, the second definition in the Google dictionary: subject (base metals) to alchemical transmutation. ie. "the quest to transmute lead into gold."

    Tbh, I started following you as your username caught my eye and struck a chord in my mind, one can expect to live a very potent life if they can practice sexual transmutation :)

  Instead of resisting, flowing with fear of rejection allows me to flush it out of my system promptly and refocus on my goals like lightning.

  Feeling better. Mojo up. I can imagine going another 44 days as easily or easier than I did this last 44. Truly grateful for these forums.

  Awoke from sound sleep and went straight to P. No MO. 2nd time this happened since starting. Now redirecting wonky feelings. Rebuilding.

  I've got to remember that the pain and temptation is not new pain and temptation. It's the old being released. I'll let it go on its way.

    just remember this is your addiction to dopamine that wants you to relapse, not true libido. The type of butterfly, gittery, and heavy breathing feeling you get around a hot women. It's a porn induced libido. DONT GIVE IN

    Ok, bud. Wise words. I'll take your advice.

  Imagine every second you abstain as another penny to spend as you choose. That's an extra $6048 per week. Mmmm. What would you buy?

    Omg, a Lamborghini, a flat in East New York, and my idols to sing me a song. If only it was true

    That is really sweet, Ann-Dauphine. I think there's a way to make it true, the way a change of perspective tends to change one's behavior and one's results.

  I feel like a guy who's walking away from a plane crash perfectly fine. "Am I really alive?" 39 days of no MO is such an outlier for me.

  This horrible pain of rejection is just guiding me (unerringly) to the next breathtaking mountain to climb.

  Had a dream I relapsed and wouldn't tell anybody or reset my counter. Amazed to wake up and realize it didn't really happen.

  My temptations are not me. My thoughts are not me. I belong to myself. Thoughts and temptations belong to themselves.

  Day 37 no M; 27 no P. Self-confidence rising. Feeling more debonair and hardy. If I can, you can, and much, much more!

  33 days of no M seemed impossible 33 days ago. Well, it's a big, whopping reality now. Every day I'm breaking new ground.

  I would so much rather transform pain by facing it than running from it and remaining stunted by PMO.

  Last night: booming thunderstorm and barbs of sweet temptation that seemed endless in their allure. I held fast. Today: bright gray peace.

  Exercising more than I have in 20 years. Upbeat, even-keel mood. Memory improved. Alert, present-tense, happy to serve. We're doing it!

  Day 27 no M; day 17 no P: reality seems to be reassembling itself according to an astonishing master plan.

  About to hit 27 days no MO. This might be the longest I've ever gone. Thanks to you all!
