So my GF left on business and I am home alone.

Ahhh my man. I've been there too. Usually in reverse where I was away with work but the feeling is the same; freedom to act out.

My advice is use this time to really reflect on yourself and the reasons you started. Have some "me time" but reinvent what that means for you. Think about the life and the image you want to work towards and make it as real as possible in your mind, and how pmo just doesn't fit in with it. Don't be scared and run away from the urges, fight them head on and use the time alone to beat them down for good then when your gf is back it will be so much easier. Think about what she'd like to come back to; tidy house, meal sorted, date night, whatever.

I wish you well and good luck with it. You'll be stronger after this. Make it happen.

 

The best advice I have gotten on here was this:

1. No Porn
2. No Edging
3. No Fantasy
4. Little or No Sugar
5. Little or No Caffeine

Try to choose peaceful activities (like meditation, a bath or a walk) instead of things that will rile you up.

Also, if you are really wound up and feel like you are about to lose it ("over-excited" as you said), it can help to try to wind yourself down with those same activities. Some other suggestions are prayer and eating bland foods.

Good luck!

 

This is an easy question to answer, but its obviously not easy to do, but the simple truth to this is that you need accountability, my friend. You need someone you can talk to on a daily basis about your struggles and hold each other accountable. Ask the hard questions and never accept answers that beat around the bush or side step an ugly truth. AP's are available on here and even better, sponsors are available at SA groups. SA.org has information about local area meetings.
