I'm on the highest streak I've ever been, but I need advice!

Hello everyone,

I've finally reached the milestone of Day 28 or 27 Days. Breaking my previous streaks of Day 18 & Day 28 respectively.

I usually end up looking at pictures of pretty women (nothing NSFW), that lead to me actually searching up NSFW pictures. I haven't done that, but I notice myself trying to do so. Now I'm experiencing the same old brain fog I've been tricked by previously.

"Go ahead and look, they're beautiful" etc.

And the temptation to O is extremely strong.

But alas, I suffer from PIED and I know that this will set me back. I'm way past that. I just wanted to get this off my chest and also ask for advice for rewiring with real women and stopping my urges.

Apart from: (These are what I'm doing now)

• Cutting off artificial sexual stimuli & fantasy
• Using the computer more than is necessary
• Focusing on the gym
• Focusing on my studies (Which I've significantly made improvements in)

Is there anything else I could do that's beneficial to my reboot?

Warm Regards,
Captain

 

I relapsed after 27 something days (my highest). DO NOT DO THIS. It is horrible, relapsing I mean. The benefits like focusing on gym school. And everything disappeared. Bog mistake

 

Stick w it bro

 

Thank you, I will definitely implement those starting today.

 

Focus on other forms of beauty, like nature photography calms me, or big space photography or night sky shots, or just actual sketches and things that are artful and beautiful, but not lustful. That being said, if your brain still tells you to take a look because the women are beautiful, remind yourself that that is someone's daughter, someone's sister, someone's mother etc. How would it make you feel if someone looked that way to a loved one of yours? This is basically what I keep asking myself to make sure that I don't look at women lustfully. Empathy is the strongest driver for changing our habits, imho.
Also try creative outlets. Dabble in sketches, writing, poetry, try everything and stick with any or all of what helps you feel lighter and in a better headspace.
As a last point of note, don't deny the fog, just be aware of it, and tell yourself that it's ok, that fog is just the next stage that you have to work through on the road to full recovery. Stay Strong Bro!

 

That's actually a really good idea. Thanks man!

 

What are the benefits of drinking that much water? And also does it have to be plain water or can it be from other sources? Like Tea and stuff. Milk etc.
