    I just could not control today. Somehow got carried away and got a few peeks of porn videos.
    Anyone who got some ideas to control the urge ?

    Hey guys on day 8 here! Finally a week with no onions but last night I had a bad slip up when I got in bed and couldn’t sleep so my mind started fantasizing about me and some women going at it like animals, but before I knew it. 30 minutes had flew by and I was about to jerk off. I realized what I was doing and hopped up went to the bathroom to pew and try to find something to calm me down and fall asleep. I think it was my boredom acting up trying to get me to masturbate as I had done really nothing for the couple hours before bed.

    Hi there! I'm gonna go ahead an join you as well. Currently on day 2 of another fresh start for me. A day and a half ago I had a 4 hour binge pmo and edging session and the first 14 days are hellish because of the brain fog, the bad mood and the trouble to pronounce words correctly and to form coherent sentences when speaking, all of which annoyingly affect my interactions with people and my performance at my job. I can feel a kind of a burning sensation in my brain and I do and say things I wouldn't normally say and/or do when I'm on day 30+ and react differently to different situations from when I haven't relapsed or have a slip up. But I know I'll get back there. :)

    I can relate to this. When I'm motivated and starting out, the first few days are fairly easy. Then I get complacent and stop using the tools I have; meditation, journalling, reading recovery-related material, checking in here.

    I can see how counting days can be something of a set-up, but in my case, I need to do it.

    When you stop PMO you start having vivid dreams. It’s 100% true and another amazing benefit of staying clean. And proof to me it really is the right way of life.

    Hey guys been away for a little bit but I am back and do not have any good news.
    I have been binging porn and masturbating for the last couple days at least twice a day. I feel like crap when I woke up this morning after relapsing last night. I feel like i have lost a lot of progress and lost sight of what I was doing right earlier this week and how i slipped back into this old habit. Today I looked up a few video to try and help boost my mood and I am going to start journaling at least once a day to help try and figure out what is going on in my life and maybe catch the thoughts or behaviors that are leading to my relapses. Also I picked up a book that I started reading called The Last Relapse on porn recovery that I am going to be reading to help me through these hard times. I am grateful for any of you who stop and read my messages on here when I do post you guys give me hope that I will one day be porn free and live my best life!

    You may have lost of what you were trying to do earlier in the week but don't lose sight of your ultimate goal. Relapse, urges, depression, optimism, energy and hope - it's all part of the same process. Stay in the game, keep fighting the fight. The only way to fail is to stop trying.
