    Are you still there?

    Don't depend so much on avoiding relapse. What are you doing to channel that energy?

    Hobbies?
    Exercise?
    Therapy?

    If you do not created an avenue for that energy to flow, it builds up into an overwhelming force. This is the most common mistake made by individuals trying to make any type of change in their life.

    I also have urges. I face these by distracting myself, generally by walking around and reading at the same time. This doesnt happen often at all as i have filled my spare time with activities which force me out of my home and exhaust me mentally and physically.

    Find what works for you.

    Try the "parallel universe technique." Take a piece of paper and write tomorrow's date on it. On the left, you can write an acting out scenario assuming that this is what has taken place. On the right, you can write out a scenario where you did something else. How will you feel tomorrow if you were looking at the paper and realized that you had acted out?

    Remind to yourself what is it that you really WANT, and I bet the answer is not going to be "PMO", even though your brain is pushing you to believe so.

    Hey Dir3ectX,

    First some honest congratulation to your 70 days (!) streak, your a machine buddy :D

    You maybe relapse today or some point in the future, well that will feel bad sure.
    But if you explode otherwise, why not ?

    Your decision, its not the end of all hope to have a wank. Its a habit, you recognized is not good for you. You are very likely to have a better life without it. Another point against it is that it will end your streak and you will have to start from day 0.

    Do the Math, calculate which way you will go and then move on :)

    Seen from another point, how much did you already reduced your fapping? Probably more then 90%. Wow.
    I look up to you.

    If you do decide not to relapse i give you these things on the way:
    -Make sure you are not cold or hungry these things very likely to create a void inside you that leaves you unstatisfied.
    -Also Physical activity keeps you warm and 'feeling' yourself more, at least every third day you should do something to really get to your physical limit. I find that helpfull and get restless more likely when im missing sport a long time. Look for a Trainer or group sport club, that is more comfortable then going to gym on your own. I found a boxing club for myself as an example :)
