    I've had a good weekend so far playing hockey and then going out last night for drinks afterwards, but unfortunately this morning I was tempted to relapse. I remember feeling the same temptation to PMO last week when I went out to the bars with friends. Maybe it got me unfocused as I felt hungover this morning. I have noticed in the last year that I tend to relapse on weekends and Mondays. I don't feel that bad though as I'm confident I can get back to my workout routine tomorrow and NOFAP as well.
     
  2. Yup...drinking is my biggest trigger. I can have a certain amount of alcohol without any problems, but if I go beyond that, I'm in trouble. Hangovers make me crazy horny for some reason.

    I second what @Righthandman76 said. Plus, I would like to draw your attention to the type of alcohol you consume. I don't necessarily think hangovers make you horny. In my opinion, they just weaken your frontal cortex, which is the part of your brain responsible for self-discipline / self-control. I think what's making you horny is the booze (and the remaining amount of alcohol in your system the next morning). I've discovered that certain types of booze have certain effects on me. Whisky makes me angry (the same holds true for 6+ beers), gin makes me chill, rum makes me horny, vodka makes me loud and extroverted, drinking all kinds of different stuff makes me completely uncontrollable and instinctive, etc. You get the idea. And of course the amount of alcohol might also be worth looking into / examining. If you cannot / don't want to ditch alcohol altogether (which is what I've resolved to do), try experimenting with different drinks and find out which ones make you horny and which ones are safe to drink regarding both the night out and the hangover the next day.

    Yeah the frontal cortex point makes a lot of sense. I drank many different beers, but just beer altogether. I'm not really willing to test out all of those theories about different liquors either, lol. But I guess I do need to have a gameplan before hand and realize what I'm doing.

  5. We have a friend that is not allowed to drink gin because it makes him all maudlin for the lost women of his past. When I put the cocktail list together for his 40th birthday several years ago, I made a drink named after him, and another one, that wasn't on the menu, with gin in it entitled 'Sweet Regrets'. I also live in a part of the world that has rum specifically referred to as 'fighting juice'.

    I found that drinking and PMO went hand in hand (pun intended), even if I didn't always get to O. I don't plan on never drinking again, but I have long since rationed out my drinking. If someone makes a snide remark and ignore them.

    If no liquor was involved and if you generally stay away from that then there's of course no reason to test those theories lol. Didn't mean to make you an alcoholic haha. Maybe a gameplan could be to crash at a friend's house after a night out. Unless you're in puberty and exploding sexually, chances are you can control yourself in the company of a buddy and not go and touch yourself in his bathroom.
