87/5400 Who told u that healing is by longer streaks.... It's about everyday commitment & renewing ur vows.. Everyday i"ve to choose between relapse & continue.... It"s about ur everyday choices I hope to apply this rule to SMOKING I SUCCESSFULLY LESSENED MY SI TO 2/DAY FOR A WEEK... I HOPE TO GET RID OF IT COMPLETELY...
This is the place to be for support. I have had to resent the counter many times and was once up to something like 380, then zero every day for quite a while, then 5, then zero, then 30, then zero. Everyone knows how this goes. Then I started looking at these challenges: one week, one month, two months, three months, and now I am creeping back up there again. You are so right: the point isn't achieving some number, it's channeling that energy into other things. I joke with my friends that if I had invested this energy into anything else, I might have cured cancer by now, or invented the anti-gravity machine....
that´s more like a self-fullfilling prophecy brother. you believe that something will happen and you make it happen, one way or the other. "What´s in your mind tends to appear" David Hawkins it´s the power of the mind bro. wet dreams mean nothing, it´s just the body releasing sexual energy. on the next day you may feel urges, yes, you may feel tired yes, but have passed days like that, or even worst, and you didn´t relapse. so why would you relapse now? no brother, deal those days like any other days. the strategy that put you on 19 days will get you through, garanteed. stay focus!!! Let´s go
Day 16, BUT had a close call last night. Thought I could relax with a few beers. Started having those "What's the big deal?" thoughts about PMO, which is self-destructive for me I know. Anyway was able to pull back from the urges but it was tough. Gotta do better here going forward.
I am in the same boat with everything you just said but don't have wet dream problem so can't advise. Good luck.

Try reading Allen Carr's easy way to quit smoking. It's a quick read and brilliantly written by a guy who smoked 3 packs a day for 30 years. It made it easy for me to quit anyway so I wish you luck.
4/90 Had a wonderful sunday ... attend church ...peaceful day...played badminton. ..little cooking...read some good articles... spend time with the loved ones...made a call to my old friend... took enough rest..

I also recommend Allen Carr's easy way. After 7 years of smoking, I am now smoke-free for more than 2 years and the best thing its that it was easy to stop and that I will never smoke again in my life. Every smoker needs to read that book, there is nothing to lose.
Checking in. After numerous relapses and binges, I've made it through 2 days again. My longest streak was 9 days (my first streak), my second longest was 4 days.
