    Firstly apologies I didn’t know what to title this, so I put in a lyric.

    Alright I have a question, but before I ask it I need to give you some info.

    I’m currently on a 102 day streak as of writing this. However, back on day 42 of this streak I had a porn viewing session for around 30-60 mins. Meaning as of right now I’ve gone 60 days without porn.

    My problem is that the benefits I’m currently receiving from this streak seem to be “lacking” I guess you can say.

    I’ve been on a 70 day streak in the past and I remember how amazing life was. My anxiety was completely absent, no depression or loneliness, peers loved and adored me, etc.

    The question: Do you think that the porn viewing session screwed up my streak?

    I’m thinking I messed something up in my head, because I’m getting close to day 70 of no MO or P, but I still have my anxiety and feeling lonely. I was considering a relapse to reset my streak and start over in order to fix this issue, but I’m scared to, because this is my longest streak.

    Just start again. I think you think you cheated (deep down).

    When you abstain PMO you build discipline, that discipline gives you a feeling of pride, and that pride gives you motivation and confidence. But all of that is psychological, and if you think that you not achieved what you are saying that you achieved... then there is not feeling of pride... therefore there is no confidence nor motivation, so you do not have the benefits you are talking about.
     
    again and Nimbo like this.

    So I should just reset the number, and then when I get back up to 70 again I’ll feel the benefits?
