Tempation is driving me crazy (Help)

Cold showers, they help a lot. They don't have to be long showers (less than 3 min). And be careful. Intentional searching and watching porn counts as pmo, meaning you have to reset the timer. (that what I had to do) Be careful and good luck

 

You're Not Going to DIE! Just Shut up your Mind and Be in PRESENT.Yes, PRESENT.Stop Thinking,just STOP and See Where you Are and Go For a walk or Something Else. It's NOT Difficult to deal with Urge.It's You only who makes it Difficult.

 

Hi KingRecover15,

First of all I'd like to congratulate you for pulling through. It takes a lot to open up your favourite porn site to then shut it down immediately afterwards (I've been there myself repeatedly).

With regards to your question, I strongly recommend you to have some sort of routine that you apply whenever you get strong urges (soft/medium exercising schedule followed by a cold shower). The exercising schedule doesn't have to be anything special - It is just important that you ensure the blood flow goes elsewhere. My personal exercising schedule is something like 30 situps, 20 pushups, 10 squats, 20 pushups, 30 situps (with 20-30 seconds of rest in between each of these sets).

Also know that you're definitely in a slippery slope here and the chaser effect will, more likely than not, be rather persistent the next 3-5 days.

I hope this helps, take care.

 

I think it's great that you jumped on NoFap and reached out. That's a great step. I think it could even help you more if there is someone you know who you can trust to not judge you, who could be your accountability partner. I find that when I have urges, if I reach out to my accountability partners it reminds me that i'm not alone, why I'm doing this, and why PMOing sucks so much. It really helps to bring the urges down. You just have to be committed to reaching out when you feel the urge.

 

Agreed on the accountability partner. Have someone who is ready and willing to stay available for you when times are tough.

Book mark the emergency prevention tool. Exercise when tempted. Go for a walk. Spend the energy elsewhere. Try not to focus on the temptation but something else like cleaning your room, read a book, build something. I read someone that dug holes. Do something else.

Stay strong!
