    So it's been 3weeks since I last PMOed. I've seen some positive effects like improved memory, able to wake up early easier but nothing super special. And now, my brain is just questionning all this process... Is it really worth it ? And with the finals coming, I will be alone at home mostly studying but I'm afraid I will just relapse...

    The thing is, in one week, it's christams holidays for me until the 8th january. While all this time I'm supposed to study as I said, then all the month of january, I have my exams. And my brain tries to tell me that's it's not worth it because you will not see any effects because either you are studying, either you are just passing an exam for about 1.5 months so no party, no potential meeting with girls, nothing...

  4. First of all, congratulations! 3 weeks is great. Please take a cold shower, start with warm then little bit colder and then the coldest you can. I promise, you will feel soo much better. Your mind is gonna clear up. You will feel as yourself again, not your cravings. It may help for few hours, but it's better than nothing. Also, remember than no urge lasts forever. If you occupy yourself till the end of the day, go to sleep, it is very likely you wake up and feel amazing, happy that you didn't give in. Ready to face another day.

  6. of course it will, that's what your brain knows... stay strong.
     
  7. Don't listen to your brain, you are not your brain. It's not worth relapsing. Half of this is breaking free from the control of the brain and with every time you resist it becomes even easier the next time. Also I can guarantee that if you go do something else your urge will be gone pretty quickly! Go take a cold shower

    It's a lie. DO NOT relapse, you will feel like absolute sh*t afterwards. Ask yourself: are a few minutes of pleasure worth negating all of the effort that you've put in up until now? Trust me, it's not worth it. I once went 75 days P free and I relapsed, and I haven't been able to stop to this day. Afterwards, I felt like absolute sh*t.

    If you are not committed to winning by beating this addiction, surely you will relapse. What help could we possibly give you that you don't already have? What I'm saying is be strong and don't give in, if you are afraid that you are going to fail, you will fail.

    Spend a lot of time pondering the negative effects of pmo. Think of it often.

    Slowly train your brain to fear lust and Pmo

    Of course its worth it, because it aint easy. Success is not easy my friend, you have to fight for it. Believe yourself, and know that PMO needs not to be a part of your life. Your life is more beautiful and powerful without that. Keep grinding and good luck on your exams!

    Don't give up mate. Without a single shred of doubt you will regret it. 3 weeks is amazing. Keep going and keep living. Just keep going up and don't look back. You have left the pit behind remember! You are moving away from it! Who needs the filth of the porn industry. Don't willingly put chains upon your ankles. Prepare for the pain. Accept the pain! And when the pain goes away, and it will, the Sun will shine brighter for you.
     
  14. This is a good question.
    You say your brain is trying to convince a relapse. Well actually, it's the primitive part of your brain called the limbic system trying to convince a relapse. It wants dopamine. It is indifferent to your goals and logic.
    Listen to the rational part of your called your prefrontal cortex. It uses logic. Animals don't have a fully developed prefrontal cortex, only humans do.
    Remember, you don't have to relapse.
