    It's Day 3 of a reboot, and I'm feeling optimistic going forward. But I have two concerns: first, in my experience, the feeling of optimism has been followed quickly by a relapse—maybe something to do with the idea that "pride comes before the fall." Second, I tend to get particularly strong urges about three or four days into a streak. And because the streak isn't very long yet, it's easy to rationalize giving in: "What's the big deal? It's only three days, might as well reset." Another thought that leads to a relapse is: "Maybe, maybe I can fend off the urge this time, but next time? And the time after that? I can't possibly win all of those battles. Might as well give in." I think it would be helpful to feel more certain that the urges will become less sharp eventually. After 90 days, are the urges at least less sharp or less frequent?

    Of course urges get less the longer you reboot. I am on day 60 and I feel in total control than I did a month ago. It's all about bringing your brain back to normal and once you have gone a few months you are as good as a person who has never had PMO'ed.
