    Day 0.
    Relapsed on Day 12.

    Circumstance:
    I had slept from 12pm to 4:30am. When I woke up, I had a long lasting erection that wouldn't go away and the cravings were considerably strong in combination with that.
    So I did self-talk and the erection subsided and the cravings went away. However my body was still a little shocked from the whole thing and so I was prone to re-ignite the cravings.

    How it made me feel/think:
    I felt very aroused and worried about abstaining. I thought that I was not ready to keep abstaining for an unknown amount of time. Not knowing when it would get easier.
    It gave me the excuse to relapse, so I could rethink my mentality afterwards.

    What action I took:
    I relapsed.

    What better action I should have taken:

    I should have stood up and done a coping exercise and then distracted myself with a series or a movie until the cravings subsided completely.
    If they would return, I would repeat the process.
    I should have told myself that the period of cravings is just temporary and that the suffering I am always telling myself to be never ending, is actually not that bad and is absolutely temporary. There are periods of time where there is peace and one can relax... So it is totally fine.
    I should have told myself that the suffering I used to have when I left the house to go to work and deal with difficult and toxic people, is actually more frustrating than just being at home completely in control of myself, dealing with my cravings.

    PS:
    As I relapsed today I wanted to relapse again. My mind tells me: "Oh, we already relapsed today, so what's the problem of relapsing again? It won't set back our streak because we're on day 0, right?". Oh well, isn't that a load of crap. I am only as much of a man as the actions I take in any kind of situation.
    I am taking charge over my situation right now! I get back into the fight immediately after I find out what I did wrong and where I need to improve.
    There is no Day 0 excuse for relapsing!
    I take responsibility instead of wallowing in my excuses and go into chimp mode to do another relapse for the pleasure depth...
    I lay the foundation on Day 0, for the days to come.

    Much strength everyone.

    Day 25! Going strong. The past few days have been a bit rough for me. Have been feeling down and insecure about myself lately. Prior to abstaining from PMO I struggled with these same emotions, only at that time I would mask them by doing PMO. But now I must face reality and learn to deal with these emotions and also realize that emotions fade.

    Stay strong brethren! We got this.

  6. 27/90. Feeling a little better today. Sometimes when you're going through a rocky period, you just have to have faith that better days are ahead. No matter where you are in all this, believe in yourself, friends. You can do it.

    How do you force yourself to cold call even when it may seem a little frightening?
