    Something triggers me around a week of no pmo. I know now I use it to medicate, as I'm dealing with problems in my relationship, and lots of buried feelings coming up from my childhood especially dealing with my Mom. I'm 42 and I want to rid myself of this addiction.

    You can do it just..set a date ..put ticks and give rewards for one day completion....have faith ,believe, ...keep in touch ..I m with u
     
  3. This is simply that your body reaches a peak dose of testosterone on day 7 after you cum. I hope this information will enable you to weather the hormonal storm and into the calmer days that follow from day 8/9.

    I just turned 48 and can relate. Getting past Day 7-9 is tough! That is usually the time that test peaks as they say. I find if I stay out of the house a good bit that helps. I do find that "cutting through" energy after I went 12 days and took my vacation in the Grand Canyon. I felt hopeful, energetic, and optimistic. And...it came crashing down once I relapsed. However, it was more of a "get in, get out" PMO session. I knew what I wanted to look at and that was it. My hopeful energy has slowly started to resurface. So, my change has been glacial, but the severity of my addicition has softened. Not out of the woods by any means, but am making progress. Suffice it to say, I hear you. It will get better.

    Stop counting your days and start to go out and try to drain your energy through activities and am damn sure that you will get no urges to mastrubate , thats how it worked for me.

    Excellent point. Hiking on the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon will use up all of your energy! Ha ha. But yes, to find productive work. Something that takes difficulty and focus. Good lesson for me too.

    Start exercising. When your body is tired you'll have no urges. I started running, almost everyday, it really does help.

    Thanks for a'll
    Because it triggers shame, it actually goes much deeper than that for me.

    I also noticed when i went 2 weeks without, the changes in me were very noticeable. I want to make changes in my life and pmo keeps me stuck.
