Dealing with urges and erections

[Journeytohappiness]

Hey guys, I am currently on a 13 day streak and in the last few days I have been feeling extremely horny. I made the fatal error of reinstalling my snapchat and talking to women and getting hard a few times. I even touched myself once or twice but not actually masturbated.

Since I have been doing this I have not been able to shake of the urge to release. I have uninstalled and then installed snapchat back and forth several times.

I am hoping this is it and I keep my focus and continue my streak without any hiccups but the urges are here and may come and go.

Do you guys have any advice to deal with this? How to shake it off now and in the future?

What has helped me a lot was completely getting rid of all my social media. There’s nothing social about it . It’s just a socially acceptable porn site in plain site. X ( twitter ) is really just a new porn site and Instagram also it’s like a social sex brothel . Being social consists of actually speaking to a person not likes and views . I’ve used social media to pmo to women I find attractive who I know and don’t know without them knowing. social media is bad for recovery. I know people need computers in this day and age for so much , I also got rid of my laptop too and my phone I keep it out of the restroom and only use it for actual things like streaming movies not porn. But this has worked for me I have 60 days right now . Do what you feel will work for you

Can't agree more with poker. I took any apps in my life and if I wasn't able to use them in a healthy way I turfed them. Eliminating access points is the beginning of progress in this journey.
