    Ok some of you might know this feeling...it’s like this wanting a relapse feeling..like my body craving to watch and to..you know.

    Do I want to fight this or give in?

    How will I feel after?

    Is it really moving me forward by not doing it or doing it?

    What can I do to get my self past this?

  2. A lot of guys here recommend cold showers and physical activity. I think contact with friends can be also helpful.

  3. I try to fast-forward in my mind, and imagine how I'd feel afterwords - that sinking, exhausted, empty, depressed feeling. And I think to myself ... Is a temporary PMO-thrill really worth feeling like that, having to reset my counter, and risk starting over with the chaser effect stuff again? Then I just try to let the time pass, since I know that the urges will fade on their own, if I just relax and let them.

    Anything that helps me pass the time in a positive way is what I seek then - do a hard crossword puzzle, read a good book, play a fun video game, read/post on nofap, do a meditation, take a walk, make a grilled-cheese sandwich, whatever works. Hang in there dude and do your best. Remember that not all the moments are tough like these ones, but you have to get through those to get to the easier ones.

  4. ask yourself are you determined and dedicated. If no, then you are certainly going to fail and relapse no matter what.

    If yes, then you will just make it! Because you know you had enough of PMO and it is definitely not good for you so you quit!
