Why Wont the Temptations Stop

Relax, it does get much better after a while.

 

You're got a reward system that's out of whack. Normal stuff that makes you feel stressed, anxious, or upset used to be countered by the maladjusted dompamine delivery system you had going from PMOing. But now, you're not doing that. So instead, when you feel stressed, anxious, or upset, your body is sending you urges via old pathways to get dopamine. Which, is telling you to PMO. But since your trying not to do that, all that does is add to the stress. So it's a bit of a negative cycle you're stuck in so long as your attention is on your urges.

I'd recommend trying to break it by keeping small things to amuse yourself or divert your attention. Books, games(as long as they're away from the internet), or exercise. Also, be kind to yourself and acknowledge this will involve discomfort, and that's ok. Don't try and fight against the discomfort, just let it pass through you and try and relax. Easier said than done, but still.

Best of luck!
