First week with no PMO

In the past I have only made it to day three. And I am proud of myself for making it to a week without PMO.
There were a couple of close calls (on a non-P website but came across some risque pics) but I was able to absain from giving into the urges. I did this by reminding myself how badly I want the changes in my life and how awesome my life is going to be when I accomplish this. Then I would immediately do something else. Like a book or vidya game or a walk around the block - anything other than PMOing. I do this when any urge appears, not just the couple that triggered it.
I have noticed the urges intensifying and becoming more frequent. I guess this is part of the withdrawl and my brain desperately trying to get a fix. Up and down in moods, aswell. One minute I'll be very positive about my future and the next I will see something that reminds me of what a failure I am and get down on myself. But the mistakes of my past are becoming more and more the lessons for my future and it is VERY freeing to be seeing these things in a positve light, even if only for a little while. So, I guess what I am saying is the mood swings are balancing out and a more positive attitude is starting to trump the negative.
I get discouraged a bit when I realize that it will take three or even more months to start feeling the REAL benefits. But I stop and remind myself that I have made it a whole week and have already begun climbing out of this hole I have dug myself into.

I know this post is probably all over the place. I still have the mental fog and what not. Plus I am twenty-five days sober from alcohol and recoverying mentally/physically from that. I trust that as I continue to mend my ways I will be able to produce more coherent and well structured posts. But for now I am doing my best.

Any advice, encouragement, etc. is DEEPLY appreciated.

Good luck to all you fapstronauts out there.
