Feel like the whole world is on top of me

I can guarantee you that it isnt Worth giving in.. At all. I relapsed Three days ago after 10 days of improvement in any possible way. I relapsed because of triggering women leading me to think a ridicoulous tought about never getting a woman. I based this on one single day of feeling bad. After it happened I started binging. The chazer effect is powerfull and nothing to be taken lightly. It is probably much easier to keep Your streak going than to try to jump on the wagon again after.

Edit: I felt so zapped for energy and motivation today that I dropped School. After several rounds With myself I decided to jump back on the wagon. Do you really want to fall back in the pit? Think twice about it. You know deep inside why you want this.

 

I understand that it's tough dude, but don't go down that alley. I also relapsed a couple of days ago, and it's just so much harder to get another streak going than it is to keep your current one.

 

Boaz,

You can do it. Go be with people. Connecting with others is the strongest protection. Your determination and recognition of your weakness is awesome. Knowing that you're tempted and having a stressful day is great. When faced with a beautiful or attractive colleague find a way to personalize her into a real person that has real feelings and is not an object of fantasy. Spend time talking to that person and look her in the eyes as you do, connect with her. If you can't do that, find something else to notice. Notice body language, earring choices, how her voice changes as she speaks.

If that doesn't work, look away and distract yourself with something else.

 

I second everything that was posted. 7 days in was when I started to really struggle. Your mind starts playing games, trying to convince you that its okay to fap. It's not. Beat your mind at its own games, come here and post, be with friends, do one of your hobbies, talk a walk, write, meditate, cold showers - show your brain who's boss! You got this!

 

Good job on 6 days, Boaz. I also agree with posts here. Getting around people is a great idea: 1. because it's difficult to fap in front of other people (at least for most of us), and 2. they can help get me out of my head. Fighting the temptation alone in my head is like being locked in a room with cobras. It's only a matter of time before I'm bit if I don't get the hell out of there.

 

Boaz,

Be with people-

The best friends you have, if you can. Do you have anyone in your life with whom you're open about this? That's been a great help to me.

Secondly, if you ARE going to be alone, I've found it tremendously helpful to run or work out and take a cold shower. The exercise speeds the metabolism of hormones which are part of the temptation; the shower constricts all your peripheral blood vessels- including the ones in your dick. Additionally, you've endured some degree of pain in exercise, which helps your psychological endurance.

Best of luck to you, brother. Let's win this fight together.
