    I just relapsed. First time in over a quarter of the year. I can't believe I gave in. I know exactly what it was too. Last summer when I was working full time in an office, I had a lot of free time and would go on chat sites and meet girls, exchange pics, etc. So now that I'm working full time again, those bad habits came back and I ended up MO'ing to some pics a girl sent me. I know I need to be stronger and that the devil finds work for idle hands so I'm going to have to stay focused at work. I thought I had gotten rid of PMO for good, but I guess I still have some work to do.

    I'm disappointed in myself but I guess that everyone has setbacks.

    You don't have to be focused on work more. Why did you get pictures from that girl? It is the same as if you were quiting smoking and then just took a cigarette just to feel it in your mouth. Of course you relapsed. And actually, relapsing afther MONHTS is not a problem at all. Masturbating once in months is not an addiction anymore if you can keep it that way.

    I want to eradicate it from my life though, not just end my addiction. The worst part is that I knew I shouldn't have done it but I still did anyway.
