Really Rough Day - but why?

Withdrawal symptoms.
Your brain is craving it's PMO dopamine fix.
It's perfectly normal when going cold turkey.
I'm there with you man.
Here's to better days.

 

This was at 50 days?. Damn I better brace myself.

 

Do mind that he has had sex and drunk booze and stuff. I'm currently on 100+ days (changed counter to motivate a stubborn fapstronaut)
I've never had these symptoms although this is my second streak.
He had sex and his body remembers the immense pleasure during orgasm.
That's why its craving it.
I haven't ejaculated in about 100+ days. ever since my streak began.
I had a wet dream last year in my previous streak but I don't know why i didn't get one yet
Maybe I'm low on testosterone? I don't think so.! I consume healthy fats every single day and follow a high protein diet. so most probably all of my testosterone is prioritizing building muscle instead of building sperm cells.
Just go full monk mode and No ejaculation then you'll be fine. Its hard at its initial stages, but damn rewarding when you're out of the addiction.

 

So cool that you share this here because the act of sharing can take some of the stress and pressure away...and help us stay centered for another day. I know I have good days and bad days--high urge days and no urge days....and it's good for me to dissect them to understand the "why" of both. I learn from the every day, good or bad. I also feel as though sometimes I'm like a pot of water slowly being heated up on a stove and eventually I boil over (P/M) if I don't start addressing the situation right when I notice that pot is on burner.

 

That’s what I’m talking about! So glad you got through yesterday and glad you told us today. This thing is sometimes moment by moment.
You’re doing great man. Keep it up!

 

Progress is never linear. Part of the process.

I too am the same. I want to think it's a trick of the mind, that is trying to tempt you back.

Have faith that eventually you can reboot your mind, just that it still lies further into the future.

 

Withdrawal symptoms, all of them. Your brain entered in state of dopamine deficiency and wants to get dopamine no matter what. Alcohol = dopamine, sugar = dopamine...
Even PMO cravings = dopamine. I abandoned any sugar except in fruits/milk and started to abstain from alcohol altogether because of it. My cure for such days is brisk walking/running or cycling for 90 minutes followed by 15 minutes of Wim Hof breathing technic and icy shower for 5-10 minutes after breathing.

 

Good for you brother! I see you have some good tools in place. Often we see/hear people that want the trick to make them stop acting out. There isn’t one! Just effort and good structure and a million little things to get through the day sober. Glad you are working it!

 

Muhammad Ali used to count the push ups only when they used to hurt. These are the days that actually count. Keep fightin!
