    I wanted to make a list of all the excuses.

    What are we thinking right before a relapse?

    What is going through our minds?

    What makes it feel like such a good idea at the moment only to crash and burn in regret?

    I'll start off the list. Let's number these so we can refer to them easily later if need be.

    I don't want this list to sound like an affirmation though. Keep that in mind when reading the list. These are excuses/thoughts we should be trying to stop.

    Apologies if a similar thread has already been done before by another poster. Feel free to post link to that thread.

    EXCUSES RIGHT BEFORE RELAPSE/GIVING UP
    1-The girls I'm thinking about are just so beautiful and sexy.
    2-The fantasy I'm having is something I really want to see in action.
    3-It's just too much for me to deal with.
    4-I'm feeling depressed right now.
    5-(If you are still in the beginning days) This is impossible to do. Better give up now, enjoy watching porn than to reset later where I've had a longer streak and more to lose.

    I gotta say number 5 is real irony.

    I would welcome anybody to add to the list

    17. I already thought about it too much, so it's only a matter of time anyways.
    18. It's been so easy lately. I'll get back on my feet stronger and finish my reboot more easily if I do it just this one more time.
    19. Not gonna get laid anytime soon anyways so how else could I get my needs met.
    20. But it'll feel soooo good if I do it now. I'll get one last epicly amazing time and then end my pmo life on a high note. (Spoiler alert: by my experience it'll never live up to your expectations when you're having these thoughts. The last time will never feel good enough or fulfilling enough. It's a neverending cycle unless you just quit.)

    21. You fapped once, it wouldn't hurt just to do it again
    22. You were on a 20 day streak, it won't do much harm
    23. You know that rapper you like? He says that he watches porn everyday. He's still successful
    24. It doesn't make much difference
    25. Let's stop up all night, there's no point sleeping now you've relapsed once already

    WARNING- This might give new ideas to your addiction

    26. Let us go see some sites, if they have 18+ content let us block them. (In that process let us peek too.).
    27. Hey! remember the image of a manga(soft Hen!@i) material that you saw that day, let us search it up on a manga site and see if it is marked 18+ or not.
    29. Let us see if there are some 18+ content on YouTube (In that process let us peek too.), if there are then we will report them.
    30. Let us look at some adult memes, memes are good, they wont arouse you.

    32. Fapping is healthy because it prevents prostate cancer.
    33. Doing it once doesnt mean you are going to get lost in pmo for days (lie)
     
  9. There is one that is very typical and it is this:

    "I'm on the flat line" Is something wrong with me? I'm going to try to see if I can still get a little excited watching something xxx
     
  10. "I just relapsed yesterday, so I won't lose a huge streak if I do it again." Another one is "I just relapsed, so I might as well get it all out of my system and binge now."

    This is what I call the "rubber band fallacy." It might be the worst one because if this reasoning is applied indefinitely, your will keep relapsing indefinitely. If you fail once, you might as well fail again. But the counter is that you will never feel better, you will only make your situation worse. You are actually sacrificing more by continuously relapsing on low streaks, compared to relapsing once on a high streak. I haven't gotten past 15 days this year because of this fallacy.
