    I need to vent

    I've noticed the cravings for P slip back in the last weeks and it fucking sucks! At first, I thought that maybe I just needed a release but masturbating doesn't help. Having great sex with my gf doesn't help either. I'm still craving it and it's just really annoying. It doesn't feel like an urge that will dissipate over time. I've felt this for a week now.

    I've recently added an accountability partner to my EverAccountable account - so I have two people who see everything I do online. And it's driving me nuts. On one hand, having the software and the accountability partners are the only reason I haven't PMO'd already. On the other hand I hate my lack of privacy. I feel like an angsty frustrated teenager who just wants what he wants, but can't get his way. I'm doing stupid shit now - looking for P-subs. But I'm trying to find P-subs that won't flag on their end. So I'm looking at the most obscure subreddits... it's stupid....

    And a kicker. This website is also flagged. Anytime I come here, they know about it. Any time I read a post here, they will see it. Any time I post on here, they will be able to read it. And it frustrates me! I trust them, and have a great, honest relationship with them, but I'm hating the lack of privacy. For instance, there was something that happened (not a huge deal) a month ago that I really wanted to get off my chest on NoFap, but I didn't because I didn't want anybody in my real life to read about it. I feel fucking trapped.

    It's just been a week. Acute withdrawal, the one long, seemingly endless craving you're describing can last for a while. Could be another week or two, could be less. But it will go away. Post acute withdrawal follows. Here you'll have to deal with emotions coming back, and much less frequent cravings. If you stick with this all the way through, you'll look back at the way you feel right now and wonder what the big deal was. It's completely normal to feel anxious and overthink at this stage, but I promise you everything will be ok.
