Self-Mastery May 2017. Time to be PMO-Free in May, official monthly commitment thread.

Hi,im at day 18 right know And im out of a 5 day flatline,so the urge hit me hard,but i resisted.
Tricks that work with me:
-take 30 secs full cold shower
-meditate 10 min a day
-take my dog for a Walk
-read phylosophy quites
Good luck

 

Bad news: Lasted two days and now have to reset again.

Good news: The porn I used was less hard core than last time, which I'm calling progress because I need all the encouragement I can get right now.

 

So I relapsed 5/4/17. I relapsed because I'm addicted to pmo. Porn is so difficult to avoid. My thoughts have been pretty out of control. The hardest is the first 2 weeks. Depression sometimes vaguely passes my mind after orgasm. More negative thoughts. If only I could control my thoughts I would be unstoppable.. I have been past day 1, watched some porn but didn't M or O. I am now on day 2. I just want to get to 30 days

 

It starts with a thought. The thought leads to a sexual internet search. The internet search leads to well .. that's my problem right now

 

Nice

 

Day three completed. Some thoughts, but no urges.

 

Almost day 12 for me. Good luck to all of you, we can do it.

 

Hey you've made this long, you'll be able to reach 4 months no problem. Good luck.

 

thinking of popping a blue pill for when i have sex with this new girl i am dating. reason being i am not sure if my erection will hold.

thoughts?

 

Day 6. Feeling like I need a girl in my life to make love with. But it won't happen anytime soon as my future is very uncertain, I might move away soon. So what am I doing here? Going back to being productive in 3... 2... 1... (I'm out)

 

@
johnsmith17: Way to go John, night time urges are #1 destroyer of my recovery arsenal, you put up a great example of letting the urge to go like a breeze and not giving in even if it cost you not to sleep well and sleep only few hours. I have relapsed many times at night because if I wont relapse I wont be able to sleep and next day I have to go to work so I should take enough sleep, but nothing is more important than sobriety. How better to wake up in the morning as a successful man who didn't give up to his urges rather than a broken and drowsy man.

 

6 Days into May and going strong , I WILL GET to May 31st with no PMO....

 

Fell into temptation twice today.
Need to work harder on recognizing and avoiding my temptations.

I also need to remember the reason I am fighting this fight and the reward that will come after.

“The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.” — Buddha

 

hey man .... dont let it get you too down!!! Pick yourself up , learn from the relapse and going again!!


Just never give up , you and all of us in there deserve to be truly happy in our self but it takes hard work.


P is toxic , robs your confidence and makes you a weak beta male.


Keep fighting , you can do it !!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks 4 the motivation Smartboyj

Will definately keep fighting!!

 

Im beggining to feel really tired. Im not aroused but I've been in quite a battle with my mind to not watch P

 

so I am on day 5 and blue balls is starting to creep in. Its the longest I have gone without masturbating or having sex in a very long time and right now I don't see how I am going to manage 30 days without masturbating never mind 90. Has anyone found good techniques or ways to combat this blue balls problem. I feel like it will only get worse?? Today wasn't helped by the fact I was out last night and am always very horny the day after drinking. Any advice welcome!

 

Thanks mate

Are there other ways to deal with night time urges?

I only have urge surfing as a technique. I wish i knew 1 more.

 

Dam them relapse 

 

Going strong still. Im trying to find hobbies to prevent boredom and also I find my confidence increasing which is great!!!!!
