    Another day done. Keep up the good work!

    Just remember that a relapse isn't a failure; it's a stumbling block. A relapse only becomes a failure if you give up. This, like any addiction, is a life-long issue.

    Anyone who has been to an AA meeting knows that no matter how many days, months, weeks, years you can keep from drinking, you are still an alcoholic. Just don't let that one "drink" take you back down to where you were. So you screwed up this time. That's just more motivation to do better next time.

    Keep it up boys (and girls if they're in here). One day at a time. We're all fighting the same battle.

    That may be the "Chaser Effect". A few days into your new streak you may feel intense urges. Try distracting yourself from them, with a hobby or new activity, it helps me to do that.

    I understand your situation. I was there around Days 3-6, but it gets easier. I'm 9 days in, and while it may not go away, it is easier and less frequent.

    At first, you feel the urge all the time and then just in certain situations, but it does improve. Try to resist as long as possible. Go for a walk, read a book, find something else to do to distract your mind from that, and it will get better.

    Goodmorning from Sunny Greece! This nights was difficult.........i had dreams about sex (not O) and erection almost all night. I woke up for water and i saw vr glasses next to my desktop pc. I felt tempted.....everyone was asleep....but i did'n do anything........

    Last night i tried to have sex with wife but she wasn't in a mood. I thought "it's her fault so.....MO....." But i know now that is an excuse to do PMO again. This morning i was thinking to go to a hooker.....i will not but....i'm happy that my fantasy leaded me to something real than a P clip!


    Your advice PLEASE.......tell me that this will be easier

    I used the same "my wife's not in the mood" excuse/rationalization for a long time. It's important to understand that it's completely on us if we PMO. I'm 25 days in and I've been shot down by the wife several times over the past week. I've remained strong and you can too!

    I agree. I've considered it several times, especially after morning promises of "tonight," but it doesn't happen. We have to stay strong.
    If you feel like you need to "handle" things, find something else to do. Do some physical activity — lift weights, go for a walk or run — just stay strong. If you wake up in the night and feel the need, drop and do pushups until you can't any longer. You'll be too tired to do anything yourself. I've personally used that one myself, and it works.

    It's been a rough two weeks, but I've made it further than I ever thought possible. Here's to another two.
