    Probably many people here have this problem also. After being quite active for many days (for example working, studying, meeting people) I feel now kinda bored because at the moment I don't have to go anywhere. And the urges to PMO just come back so powerful. I already relapsed yesterday and now I'm feeling the cravings all over again. Situation is very bad.

    It seems that i've lost the ability to cope with boredom. Before when I didn't have so much other things to do, being bored and avoiding PMO was in fact more easier. I was used to loneliness and being by myself and having almost nothing to do. But now that is gone. I'm somehow not prepared for quiet, lonely days anymore.

    So you need to have a strategy for dealing with it before it comes on. Good book, movie, friends to call, some household tasks etc. I'm in the same boat BTW, out of normal routine because of some health issues and none of my regular commitments so when you're not going anywhere in particular it's easy to get pushed in a direction you don't want to go. Much better to have some momentum in a good direction. Why not pick a course of personal study in something you're interested in or aim to do some craft activity. Even better if it can be something creative. Anyway, good luck and stay focused.
