Now I can’t even pass the first days.Why can’t I realize that there’s nothing for me in PMO and that it will always let me down ? I feel like willpower and knowledge is not enough ‘cause as soon as I have an urge the only thing that matters is that dopamine in my brain.
Don't be that though with yourself, man. Instead of that, try to cheer yourself up. You've accomplish the first step, being aware your PA and you are working on it. You may think about something: what causes your urges? what were you doing right before they appear? What did you try in order to ignore them? What other things you can try? You should be aware of that and be prepared to fight when they come and when they do you can start doing something different, straight away, call some friend or relative, going out for a walk, play some videogame…
It's an uphill battle. Damn near vertical. Find a foothold. One step at a time. And then, when the time comes, just don't. Just don't.
What happened is that I KNEW I was about to relapsed, so I took a cold shower and was about to go for a walk but then I fucking relapsed.
I don't watch "real porn".I relapsed to porn-subs on YouTube(you know, these girls twerking and all that shit) using my smartphone.
Same shoes,amigo...I cant hold further than 2-3 days,or less,the longest period was 8 days. All today was a relapse to me. Im trying to not give up, but its very very hard, and kills me inside.
Well, I wont say it is a relapse if you didn't PMO, quite the opposite, you are in control and you can watch those kind of videos without relapsing.
Are you kidding ? Sure, porn-subs are not as dangerous as regular porn but trust me bro it is as addictive as porn that's why I keep finding myslef relapsing.More so, I'm losing my semen and that's the wrost thing for a man !
And never tell you the odds,huh? Rock can give motivation too,like James Hetfield who gave up drinking,or Rick Allen when he didnt give up after his arm loss.
OK, so I think I misunderstood you. Let me know if I'm right now, you don't use porn but you do masturbate with those porn-subs? I that case I think you are relapsing, yes. And if it is becoming an addiction it’s even worse. How about blocking YouTube if it is where you look for those kind of videos?
I use YouTube for self-development videos etc. The only solution is the hard one, which is to man the fuck up and overcome my urges.If you have some tips I'm open to recieve them !
Keep strong brother. One of your strengths you know you have a problem and you're being pro-active by being a member on this forum. Keep fighting: visualize yourself at the end of each day without PMO: the empowerment you will feel: picture that brother!!!
I was a fucking Legend on a 8 MONTHS streak bro ! I use that achievement (that I'm so proud about) as a motivation to go back to that magical life ! I wish that life to you and everybody ! Thanks for your support man !
I had to deal with some emotional problems so I used PMO as an escape.Now I have more problems, ironic huh ?
sorry bro- keep striding on. I know PMO serves as a great escape but the aftermath is not great. That is what happen last time too
