    Friends, I have fallen. (@RiseToGreatness, please reset my rank.) But here I am, back up on my feet, and ready to resume the fight. I am grateful to you all for your support. This is a wonderful community.

    Here are some insights I gained so far from this relapse, and which I think it might be worth sharing:

    1) If you know that a certain activity is a trigger, or that it will inevitably lower your guard and inhibition (e.g. getting intoxicated), you must avoid this activity like it were death or PMO itself. If you start saying to yourself: "I'll be able to indulge in this activity and not fall" – you are lying to yourself and deceiving yourself. The world is full of lies as it is. Let us be truthful – with ourselves and others – instead of being an additional source of lies.

    2) After relapsing, there is the evil risk of binging. Cut the binge out, it's only doing damage and undoing your progress. Get back on track as quickly as possible. Leave the relapse behind and look straight ahead. Do not look back. Don't let the voices in your head pull you back into the cesspool.

    3) After relapsing, you may notice a voice in your head – subtle at the beginning – trying to convince you to pull away this community. You may, for instance, feel like there is no point in updating your counter, or in posting here to admit your relapse. This voice is clearly malevolent, since it wants you to be isolated, so that it becomes easier to break you down. I think everyone here has experienced the huge benefits of community support in our fight. So, beware of that evil voice. If you relapse, dust yourself off, and get back on track as quickly as possible. Try not to stay too far or too long from here. The more alone you are (especially at the beginning of the journey), the weaker you become.

    4) Write in your journal everyday. It helps to strengthen and amplify the positive voice in you. The pornmind never tires bombarding your mind, until it drowns the voice of reason and takes over. Regular, continuous, robust positive self-talk is important in this part of the struggle. It helps prevent relapses.

    I will write in my journal a more complete reflection on this relapse when I have more time.

    Love, respect, and strength to all of you.

    well, you did a great streak and carry the ring to a long distance. still, there are natural thresholds (relapses) that every rebooter must endure until he becomes permanently free from pmo. relapses means lessons, learnings.

    i remember when i relapse at a 92 days streak. i learned a major lesson there, it was a very subtle and disguised trap but it was there. i didn´t see it, so i fell for it. afterwards the trap become clear to me and my rebooting skills/knowledge took a major improvement :)

    Profit this occasion brother, learn.

    One more day of walking my brothers and sisters :)

    thank you for your kind words and wishes. we are indeed a Fellowship :)

    Have a great weekend my friends!!! :). Be very discipline in the sleeping hour, especially at weekends, go to bed on time!! don´t stay roaming about, major trigger there.

    Here´s Soaring Eagle on the subject of leakage.

    "Below let’s discuss the issue of leakiness.

    Leakiness is characterized as - due to long term indulgence and weakened kidney qi, semen leaks under many circumstances such as:

    1. Leakage after urination.
    2. Leakage after bowel movement.
    3. Leakage while on the phone with the girlfriend.
    4. Semen slippage (Translator’s note: semen slippage is the leaking of semen while awake as opposed to nocturnal emission which occurs during sleep)

    Everyone will better understand the kind of leakage issues if I illustrate it with an example: compare with a worn out water tap, no longer possible to close it shut, it will always leak. The situation of leakage following urination is in fact very common, this, in reality, is a sign that the kidney qi is not consolidated. Leakage following bowel movement is even more common especially at the beginning of a reboot. Furthermore, quite a few brothers have reported that leakage during a phone conversation with the girlfriend, even when the topic of the conversation was not sensitive. This, in fact, is related to latent conditional reflexes. Brothers with girlfriends have a harder time rebooting, therefore, it is best to have a talk with her, try to avoid having premarital sex while at the same time increase one’s own heart cultivation, have a good handle on the degree of association.

    Many brothers also suffer from semen slippage, if you have a slippage occasionally that is not a cause to worry, but if it happens continuously then one needs to make haste to seek treatment. In addition, I recommend doing more kidney strengthening exercise. Normally, by persisting in rebooting, health cultivation and active exercising, leakage following urination and bowel movement will cease by itself. I have previously encountered leakage following urination and bowel movement, afterward, I persisted in performing kidney strengthening exercises, this kind of situation would now only show up extremely rarely. Of course, the issue of leakages is not limited to the above 4 categories, sexual fantization and nervousness would, for example, induce leakages. Even if your kidney qi is abundant but you are deeply immersed in sexual fantization, leakages will also occur. Therefore, one needs to resolutely put a stop to sexual fantization and achieve the state of cutting out a thought as it arises, in addition, study more rebooting articles to increase one’s realization and determination, only by doing this do we have the hope of truly ridding ourselves of the evil habit of masturbation."
