    I fantasized about having sex with this girl I saw the other day. I didn't watch any sort of pornographic content. I just opened up a text file and started typing whatever thoughts I was having about that. Nothing else.
    I had a stiffie. However, it did feel like I let out some steam mentally.

    I something like that considered relapsing?

    I'm at day 29, and will hit day 30 in 11 hours.

    As long as you don't touch it, you are still on the way. But when i have this , it,s a sign that I'm giving up. It's the last step before the end. You have to say stop or it will be worse and you will relapse. You have to go out and do something like sport. Power you down and try not to think before sleeping about this, because it starts in the morning again. If you can do it for 1 or more days like that, it will ussualy go away.
    You can also try meditation.
    SAY STOP OR LET THE THOUGHTS FLOW AWAY LIKE IN THE MEDITATION!

    I wish you much strenght dude.

    Ok. I never thought about it that way. I just thought that it was a natural reaction. Thanks for the useful information. I'll keep this in mind the next time I have thoughts like that. Thank you very much!

    Hi @dummy roman titan Thanks for asking. I've had fantasy every single day. I want it to stop but don't know how. I even had it while out for a walk and listening to a constructive audio file. So, I dunno. I didn't fap or look at PMO or even lust after women a lot visually, it just takes over my mind with images and scenarios.

    Trying to write about it was probably a good idea because you're trying to sort out the thoughts. But it ends up reaching a "danger zone" of being triggered. I know because I tried it.

    Well, I dunno the answer. I've been around sex addiction recovery quite a while and if there was a way to just stop fantasizing I probably would have heard it by now.

    It's okey that your brain starts fantasize but like i see it, we have to say stop or let the thoughts flow away. Good feelings let flow the drive away. When you open yourself to someone for example or when you have to laugh. If it still don't help tell me.

    While we hold on the drive we have to replace our habits with better habits like hobbys, making friends, get a job, singing, meditation, unsalaried work and going out for a walk. Just building the life up while you are already on the way. You have something to do, that make you feel good and that distracts you. People that do it like this have to fight less against the drive.
    Of course there are phase, where it's harder as usually, when this happens focus even more on your good habits.

    I agree. Yesterday I was in my trigger spot and was having very temptatious thoughts but today I was around people and it was easier not to go there

    Hey Tupacbest since your are new here.
    I would advise you to look here in the forum around. You will find way more as this!
    Good experiences and habits give you power and make your will stronger. When you don't have something(habits), you will go instantly to the only thing that had worked in the past , yeah fapping.

    I have used that strategy (writing my fantasies). Although it works to some degree because you somehow are letting it out I would not recommend it. It felt to close to watching porn. It felt as if I was trying to stop my heroine addiction with a shittier drug like alcohol.
    Stay strong, brother.

    Thanks for all the support guys! The thoughts haven't stopped since I last posted a message. But, I have found the following helpful in keeping the thoughts at bay:
    1. Getting on the floor and performing 30 - 60 of an activity at very high intensities (jump squats, L-sits, planks, push-ups)
    2. Meditation. Setting a timer for 1 minute and just focusing on the breath.

    These have helped me curb the fantasies.
