    After almost 30 days, I failed and went on a PMO spree. I'm finding it hard to get the motivation to get back into the swing of things. Any tips?

    Well, you've gone 2 days without PMO so things may be looking up. I was in the same situation 2 days ago; I ended a 25 day no PMO streak with a porn binge. PM me if you want to be accountability partners.

    Chalk it up to a learning experience. What were the initial triggers that send you down the PMO spiral? If you can identify the triggers, you can identify what your response was to them--and then you can try to develop alternate responses that will pull you out of the moment instead of sending you further into despair.

    It's easier said than done, I know ... but think about it like a fighter that loses a match. He can be down on himself, or he can walk away with a new understanding of where his weaknesses lie, and how to remedy them. You don't want to condone failure, obviously ... but with each failure comes an opportunity to become more resolved, sharper, and more battle-hardened. You can do it.

    What I do when I relapse is PMO till all my sperm is out (literally) .. after that the sexual tension subsides for a week or two ... so by the time it returns I have a week or two behind me
    and just say ... "Hey I am already this far so I might as well go for it"
