Getting back on track

My last PMO was Monday night, 11 PM. Last month I was able to get to 24 days of no PMO whatsoever. I started experiencing the positive results people have been writing about 1) energy, 2) confidence, 3) increased sensation etc. etc. etc.

I broke my abstinence last month because I felt it was okay to do that while dealing with some major life issues. I also picked up smoking again and have since stopped. Fapping or not fapping, smoking or not smoking, the problem is still there. I started taking an antidepressant which will probably kill what little libido I have left. That could be a blessing.

Anyway, I'm hoping to give this another try and to meet a reasonable goal.

 

Hi brother,

If one does not learn how to process their emotions 24/7, then there is always a chance of relapsing. Being able to process our emotions is the key to success, in anything.

What were the emotions which coursed through your soul when these major life issue happened? Was it sorrow, grief...? Etc... All you needed to do was to just allow yourself to feel those emotions and allow them to pass through your body. It is when one decides to suppress their grief and stress that they turn to other things, such as PMO or even smoking as an outlet. Many people started smoking due to unprocessed emotions, which is also the same reasons why many are caught up in the cycle of PMO, relapsing and starting again. When we don't process our emotions and suppress them, we simply just see no way out and we become blind.

Since January as of this year, I started to do what is called Emotional Processing and my life has never been the same again. All lustful desire to PMO has exited my body.

 

hey - thanks for the good words. My feelings were melancholic and somewhat desperate, and had been for quite a while. I'm actively working on those issues with a counselor. I am not disciplined enough to do self-directed psychological healing! Porn is not the worst of my addictions, but is really the only active one and it hurts me all the same. I'm approaching 2 full days in 2 more hours. I'm currently feeling happy about this. I had a great workout followed by a freezing cold shower. It was awesome.
