I relapsed 5 days in a row, i just felt lonelt i guess. Any words of advice on how to deal with temptation??
What I have started doing is speaking to myself out loud when the urges get on top of me. I will stop doing what I'm doing, tense myself up, focus my mind, and then say "NO" loudly and firmly to myself a few times until the urges start to abate. Then, before they have the chance to come back, I will get straight back to what I was doing. This may not work exactly for you but the idea is to never allow your mind to be idle for too long, keep it busy as much as possible.
Try again. When you fuck up, try again. Don't bitch, don't whine, don't judge yourself. PMO is a cheap substitute for life so youre dead till you beat this shit. Take the emotion out of it and handle business. There is no deadline or other options. Keep trying until you beat it or until you fucking die.
Take your relapses as learning opportunities. Whatever made you urge to PMO replace it with something good. And most off all. Keep trying, we all fail. It's normal the only time we fail is when we give up. I believe in you!
