Peeking

I suggest you stop peeking because you are still getting that dopamine hit every time you peek and will take longer for your brain to rewire itself.

 

Yeah definitely don't peek. If you find yourself doing it (really, try not to do it) divert from it immediately. think of the 2 second rule. If you have time to say one mississipi, two mississipi, in the amount of time you just peeked, thats not good. My question is though, after peeking and you said you felt awful, for how long did you feel awful after the peek?

 

It's good that you feel disgusted easier, but you still shouldn't peek if you want to make even more progress. Because there's still a chance that you will relapse the next time you get an urge.

 

Yeah I've been doing that a little bit too. Mostly just pictures of girls until today I accidentally saw some actual P with penetration. It's very enticing and makes abstaining challenging. So yeah, I think the best is to not peek at all. But I get it, it's hard.

 

I'd still consider this progress, even if its not the most optimal progress. Anything that is going away from pmo is objectively progress one way or the other. You're still looking at p sure, but you're not mo'ing at least. The peeking may still be giving your mind a dopamine hit because dopamine is largely associated with the process of wanting and seeking. The mo is just the reward that solidifies the pmo habit loop. Try to be mindful of the fact that you're slowly breaking this process and that the only missing piece now is not peeking. Its easier said than done, but it is possible.
