    Ok not really but metaphorically, I'm suffering from the shakes.

    I am just a few hours away from reaching my 30 day, at which point I will be starting a second 30 day counter as I embark on the next 30 days of a 90 day reboot. However, I am finding myself on the verge of relapse. Thankfully I cannot view porn but the urge to fap is really strong.

    I can't help but wonder if it is getting this tough because I have not had sex in the past couple of weeks. I know that since I am hyper-sexual my body craves sexual release more than is normal.

    Furthermore, I am experiencing two things that are making this difficult, I can decide which one is worse.

    1) For the past couple of days, as I've started suffering from these urges to relapse, I've been having intense erotic dreams the seem incredibly real. I woke up during one of them and it took me a moment before I realized that I was dry humping the bed. The dreams don't end with climax, dreamed or real, so I am left feeling incredibly horny for the rest of the day.

    2) Every now and then the thought "It's ok if I fap. I just need the release. It won't hurt my progress."

    I was able to fight off these urges this past weekend because I spent the entire weekend with my wife. But now I am left alone as my wife is at work. And what is worse is that I HAVE to get work done on a class assignment. So that means I will deal with boredom and frustration which I know to be the worst things for as those are the times that I am prone to thinking about sex and thus fapping.

    I refuse to relapse this close to finishing 1/3 of my 90 day goal. I can't stand feeling this weak.

    Hang in there, Karegador. You can make it. You're a role model, because you're nearing the 30 day mark and I've only finished a week. You've shown that you're made of tough stuff. Don't forget to stop today to be thankful. Do nothing for two minutes but be thankful for your wife. Thankful that you've made it so far without PMO. Thankful that your struggle is making you stronger. Thankful for fellow nofapstronaughts. Thankful because you've got another day to live, to make difference in other people's lives, to enjoy the good things all around you.

    I'm rooting for you!

    Hang in there dude. Perhaps, what is making the urge so hectic is the fact that you're hitting such a big milestone. Try not to think about it. Focus on the good things. Keep yourself busy. Before you know it, you be past 30 days, and feel a ton better.
