    it´s normal to collapse in the first weeks brother. because the urges and autopilot are very strong in the beginning. if those barriers are not enough then you need to create new ones, stronger ones. identify the triggers and create a strong barrier for which of them. and do it always, not just when you´re triggered, that would be to late.

    example: i have a trigger in the bathroom when i bring the mobile with me. solution: i stop taking the mobile to the bathroom. i take a book instead :D. result: i never relapse in the bathroom again. understand? you need these simple hacks, simple moves here and there in your life. concrete measures that makes all the difference.

    we all know that pmo is destructive, but that counts for very little in the heat of the moment. recall the theory and motivation daily yes, but you need most of all to be practical.

    and i would also recommend that you do a dopamine detox, stay away from all screens. you´re depleting your dopamine so much, making you miserable, and that of course increases the risk of relapses.

    rise my brother, you can do it!!!

    Day 5:

    Made it through the Lectures without a reset! Did just receive some news that has me a bit stressed. It is time to buckle down and move forward with the healing journey!

    One week. This streak I'm spending less time with electronic devices and reading and working instead. What a difference!

    Browsing as if with simple curiosity, but deep down you are really looking for something that will trigger you to fall back into the pit of P. You just either pretend that those intentions aren't there, or numb your awareness to the point that you leave the intentions as vague, even though they are the real engine behind your internet search, flicking TV channels, literature, films, etc....(especially when we are tired). Only way to avoid fishing, it seems to me, is to stay alert to your intentions and the tricks/ lies they play on your mind, all the time. Alternatively, as some posts below advise, we stay away from these media forms until we are back in the driving seat of our minds.

    Day 24.
    In addition to everything said by our fellows, fight in the present, at each specific moment. Fight match by match. It doesn't help to worry about the future or regret the past while forgetting about the present. When the future comes you will fight in the battle that corresponds, and it is not worth being sorry for something that has already happened and you cannot change. What you can change is your current moment. It is that decision that you make by leaving your mobile phone instead of entering social networks, because you know that you will end up fishing and preparing your mind to relapse (helping your enemy to win the battle).

    Your life is a war and every day a battle. But you have many allies (God, family, friends, and us!), Ask them for help. Lit the beacons. Rohan will answer. We will win.

    Let's go, you can do it! Destroy this infamous ring. Move the P away as much as possible and ask for help when you need it. Count on us. You have my sword.

    Christ the King, pray for us.

    Thanks for your honesty. Much appreciated. Please let us know how you get on with managing and surfing the urges - this will help us all I am sure but more selfishly it will help me
