    Mornings are always the toughest for me in dealing with urges. I have recently trained myself to log on to this site first thing in the morning. I feel a bit of accomplishment by warding off the urges early on in the day while gaining inspiration from other posts found here.

    Mornings are also the most difficult parts. And sometimes when I am alone in the evening

    For me it is the mornings. If the mood catches then my whole day can be wasted. Not good when I work from home.

    Yeah - me too. Being in the house alone - wife and kids all out - is something I really cherish, my own space, my own music on loud - as it happens so rarely, but is also one of my triggers.

    I would definately say bed time..Because at that time I don't have the energy to fight it. I'm sleepy and tired and just want to fall asleep and then the urge comes out of nowhere and I either MO or wait and hour or two to fall asleep -.- it's frustrating
     
  6. Its When I'm alone And Free.I am Not doing any work and suddenly urge Comes.Morning Urge Is very Common F_92 .Everybody have an urge when they wake up. Its the Bed Time or When You're Alone,the urge increases.However I try To watch inspirational videos on Youtube.this helps me alot!

    I know what you mean F_92. Bedtime can also be tough especially if you have trouble sleeping. The mind starts to drift, and telling yourself to not think of urges only makes you think of them more. During the day, you can do a task or project to take your mind off of things. You can try to take your mind away at bedtime by listening to soft music. It may sound crazy, but I often listen to comedy tapes and laugh myself to sleep. This also encourages happier dreams for me.

    Bedtime is typically the worst because my mind has difficulty turning off and fapping would relex me. I now never try to just go to sleep but read/listen to an audio book to help get my mind off the day and not onto P.
     
  9. Mornings were tough at the start of my journey in NoFap. After some months they are easy. Urge is no more urge, but something like pop-up window in your browser. It's an idea, like "I should take a shower". Sounds crazy, but yeah - mornings now are kind of easy, but I can not leave the guard.

    I like sitting at night, playing some games with my friends on skype. Often we are ending at 1 AM and there's a stupid idea of watching P... On the first days it's easy to fight it by fast turning PC off and just go to sleep. Later (like 3 weeks in) it's getting harder and harder... But when I resist the urge and go to sleep, at morning I'm happy that I won this battle.

    Mornings and evenings for me too! Darn you wifi and laptop and basement bedroom. Hahaha, I feel like it's begging me to PMO in these conditions. Gotta be careful.

    It's not a specific time. I don't know when my urge will strike. I usually get an urge and try to ignore it or I'll be in a place where I have to ignore it because I'm not alone...but it builds up and builds up... And then when I am finally alone that is when I act on my urges. I don't usually masturbate as soon as the urge hits me- it's after a whole day of buildup or sometimes two days. I need to figure out how to get the urge to go away because when I ignore it, it only gets stronger.
     
  12. Try to Listen Music every time you're alone and listen until you fall asleep.Or go to Youtube and watch Funny Videos.And Remove this thought from mind that your urge increases in a day or two. You have to Believe in Yourself. We all are with you.Keep Fighting! :)

    Evenings and weekends. As I am depressed, I am constantly taken over by apathy and for some time already I've been PMOing mostly just out of boredom. I rarely have the energy to do anything productive, so I try try enliven my bland life with something that still makes me a bit alive. Or used to. The magic's mostly gone from that as well.

    Mostly evenings for me. I have devices surrounded and I find it hard to just switch off. Tips would greatly help me for evenings :)

    Its only ever at night.. I can only remember maybe once or twice in a year when its been any other time but night. I tend to stay up late (1-2am) most nights and in my mind I say "Cool, I don't feel any urges, I'll just jump in bed, fall asleep and I'll be good." Then I fall asleep, wake up 30min-1hr later and have the urge to MO. My mind is a blur at that point anyway so its so hard to think straight and make the right decision. In all honesty, I think 75% of MOs for me would be eliminated if I just stayed asleep once I fell asleep. What to do...

    I know what you mean about your mind being a blur when you wake up in the middle of the night. Not the best state to rationalize no MO
