    I've been trying really hard to reach a 20 day goal. My biggest problem, however, has been losing my motivation. I can make it to 7-9 days no problem, but then I start really losing my motivation to fight. I don't know why it happens then, but it always feels like deep down I know I'm gonna give in, and then that leads to me relapsing. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sure many of you guys have had to deal with similar issues in the past.

    I used to have this problem during my initial days finally I focused on reducing the number of times I relapsed and made sure the number kept going down gradually. This naturally made the body adjust to new situation and I kept sustaining forever!

    I dont believe in this thing called motivation. Dont rely on any motivation. You just have to go in dont think of any driving forces. No motivation will help you out until you decide it to yourself that you have to achieve it no matter what happens.
    Motivation is a myth. If you keep telling yourself that you dont feel motivated you will never be able to achieve your goal. No hard feelings brother just saying what I feel and what helped me out.
    I'm 35 days clean as of today no pmo at all. And I could achieve it because I had decided to myself that this time it's a do or die situation. You have this opportunity to have this chance make it count. Dont disappoint yourself. Think of it as a one last chance and I guarantee you that you will do whatever you can so you dont fail. I'm talking this from my personal experience.
    Just so you understand my magnitude of addiction I viewed P all day everyday for atleast 5 times a day. I had gone so much into it that I could see anything above it. My life was trapped in the virtual fake and highly overrated world of P.
    I dont want to be rude in any way if you feel I was then I'm extremely sorry. Hope you get all the success you deserve. You are great powerful wonderful. Just believe in yourself. :)

  5. This is a really important topic. I have the same problem as I seem to always lose motivation after 30 days (it used to be after less days). Maybe it is inevitable, I don't know. But there has to be ways around this. I really think Divinekarma is on the right track. Instead of focusing on the streak itself, focus on making sure that you PMO less and less. I am actually currently starting to adopt this mindset since I kept relapsing when I only focused on the streak. So far I think it's a better way to go about things, relapses aren't so crushing and it makes it easier to not binge.

    I found the best way to up motivation is focus on the memory thag made you start the reboot.
    My Memory was a sexual encounter where I where I experienced ED in a fashion that was new a scary for me which I use every time I am tempted

    I am also loosing motivation since day 4. Now at Day 9 Really feels sad to say no motivation to do study. I'm going to face one of the toughest exam UPSC in next 35 days. Searching alot motivation from inner side and outer side but none is working... I think I have to keep pushing without motivation. It seems to teaching a fish to fly in sky.....
