    Today after work I was very stressed, normally at these situations I default to tuning out of reality and seeking orgasm, but today I let it go and surrendered myself to God. Tomorrow is a new day with a new struggle.

    Stretch those streaks.

    I remember those 3 day streaks too. I can stretch mine now to 10-12 days. I'm aiming for 19 and more.

    What can i do? I'll just try again.

    I just remembered another technique where a person would move there eyes right and left 25 times very fast whenever an intrusive image appears in mind. I think its called eye desensitisation or something. That might help me next time.

    I'm also learning about the thinking self and ibserving self in Acceptance and commitment therapy ACT book.

    I hope to conquer this addiction this year.

    This addiction need to go away from my life, it is interesting to know how much it has gotten hold of me, 17 days past that I am clean and I feel as if I am missing something, my entire body is craving for orgasm. The moment I forget to check in with my emotions and I forget to calm myself down, my mind will drift off and fantasize and I will relapse.

    I definitely need help from my higher power ( God ) and this community to pray for me. I can't do it alone.

    Day one completed again. I relapsed two days in a row. Today is the first day without it. I am glad to be back on track.

    I believe in you! Maybe it helps: when the urge is coming: lift your arms in the air, shake your head and your hands and smile. It has to look stupid for yourself, but the urge will go away ;) all the best!

    Yesterday had some cravings while in restroom, almost give in, it is weird how much power this addiction has over our brains, but I have made a commitment, I can not live with this addiction anymore , it is sucking life out of me. I know I have been in recovery for 3 years now and I have relapsed countless number of times, but that won't change anything in my commitment. I will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes me to do be it coaching/therapy sessions, sobriety calls, self care , journaling, self acceptance, meditation, whatever it takes me to get out of it I will do it. Even if I relapse along the way I will not give up. I can not live the rest of my life like this, I have many aspirations, I want to leave a legacy behind myself when I am not in this world anymore, I want to give back, I want to have my own family but addiction is fighting to devour all these aspirations from me and I will not let this happen. I know my body and brain is craving to get its fix and I know I am very vulnerable and weak,but I will keep seeking help from God because I can not resist against the claws of inner addict who has gotten hold of my brain.

    In Hagakure there is a part which says:

    Things of great importance should be addressed with ease. Things of little importance are addressed with seriousness.

    So i think, we all should be as light as possible and try to handle it with humor because it is so important to us. :)

    Back again guys. Had a nice 90+ days streak on No-PM Mode and after that I was sharing my time with a beautiful girl. Sadly, and unconveniently, she had to leave the country for work.

    Now we're in this long distance relationship but it has been around 2 months that we've been apart. In this time this PM problem has been crawling slowly into my life back again... I say no. I'm cutting this deadweight for good.

    My girls is coming back at around august so I'm taking 90 days of No-PMO to make a hard reboot in myself. After she's back I'm commited to continue on NO-PM as neccesary.

    See you in the forums,
