Feelings of emptiness

I just freshly relapsed and so I have one thing to tell you: don't let the confidence fool yourself and always keep your guard up. After my first week I felt so confident I started to test if I even feel the same when viewing NSFW content. I felt nothing, no urges and it made me feel even more in control. I kept up testing the waters and two days later I relapsed.

So much from my experience.

Form what I've read other people write: the ups and downs are normal and expected and all you can do is just get through the "down phase".

 

Good for you its a big step , one tip I always give is don't overthink this and don't beat yourself up over a possible slip up look at it as a learning lesson and TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME that's what I did

 

And what makes you feel that way? I'm asking you because I've also felt that way, and actually that feelings or moods are what make me go to PMO.
You should know that you can choose not to PMO.
What can you do to stop feeling this way? What I try to do is, listeing to music, beeing busy and making productive things to avoid bad thoughts in my mind, beeing with friends and laugh with them.
But maybe those feelings or mood is just a symptom, in Ecclesiastes 3: 11 it says "He has made everything beatiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can farthom what God has done form beggining to end." and I invite you to look for God, "whoever drink thins water will be thirsty again, but hoever drinks the water I give, will never be thirsty (John 4:14)
And always be careful, dont let yourself to give your flesh what it wants, keep clean your mind, because even little thoughts or "looks" can make you fall. But be focused in the solution not the problem.

 

Life is a confusing, aimless, pointless walk through a dark barren land. Humans are scared and uncomfortable with this fact and so we've invented ways to cope. Drugs, sex, porn, alcohol, work, religion, sport, food, books, paintings, music, movies, ... Pick one of the above and the feeling of emptiness will go away. Or accept and embrace it. The universe has no point and there's beauty in that.

 

Well Said bro.Thts the main.Why mostly people dont wanna quit pmo.Coz they know after quitting Pmo.They will face life problem which pmo hide......

 

Hello. I know that are you talking about. Don't listen to it, it's really easy way to relapse and the relief will be only short and weak. In my opinion it is the natural state of mind in the case of quitting any possible adiction (not only pornography, even alcohol, drugs, etc..). You are abstaing from something which used to affect your mood and made you relieve for a short moment. Without it, it might seem, that your life is fading into grey.. be strong, it will become better, you just need some time.
I've spoke about this at this thread:

Also I've posted some notions here:

I know this state of mind. Feel free to send me message if you will need some help.
Cheer up, you will handle it.
