    The urges are very strong today.

    other than a few errands I've done today I've been staying home with not much to do.

    Plus I've got a cold and I'm feeling very sluggish.

    Today I actively resisted about 3 times wanting to view images and hold my crotch.

    I've:

    Worked out to exhaustion

    Finished unfinished errands

    Cooked myself to take time off thinking about PMO

    had a light workout again to keep my mind occupied

    Posting here as of this moment

    went for a walk in the brisk night


    Please suggest me something to do so I can overcome this day!

    I know how you feel. The best thing right now is to keep yourself busy. The urges will be there for a while but if you wait long enough they'll subside. I suggest just to ride it out. Understand that it will only be there for a little while is key. PM me if you need further assistance.

    Don't do it man, just fight it. I relapsed yesterday and let me tell you it is not worth it. I ended up bingeing for a few hours and now I hate myself for it. Just think of how long you've gone and don't cave!

    I can say that you've done everything you can in an external way with your physical being. Sometimes its best not to "fight" or "resist" the temptation. Rather observe your body, the feeling of that sexual desire.
    Then just watch your thoughts, don't give them power. Do you catch yourself saying "Damn I need to bang a girl, or watch porn right now to get rid of this feeling!" as soon as you are able to move through that loneliness, that horny feeling, and allow them to be. You will be able to "move through" the pain. Empowering your true being, and knowing that you aren't that small eager person you "thought" you were.

    Let it be. This too shall pass.
     
  6. think about this, the will power you have must be stronger then the urge, focus on your will power today and think how good it will make you feel tomorrow knowing the you were successful, that will triple your confidence.
