Longest streak has been 54 days, but my libido just causes me to relapse. Any tips?

Hi guys I am new on the site and have joined to log my progress and join a community where people are working to the same goal in the hope it will help me not relapsing and on my overall journey. My longest streak has been 54 days but it i relapsed even though in my mind I knew it was wrong and my libido just felt it had me in a death grip and one thing led to another and I was scrolling the internet and touching.

Then this led to the full PMO. But today as the relapse was yesterday I jumped right back into into it and I am so driven right now to go PMO free for life. I have picked up habits such as cold showers as I workout and it helps with overall health as well as a mindset. But it always happens by starting off with thoughts that just override my brain about women or porn, then always on the night time when I am scrolling on my phone in bed it just hit me that night and I threw away my streak for nothing as I have realised now.

Thanks for listening any tips are appreciated from veterans of the community.

I noticed that hot showers induce urges for me. I’m 1 day from my highest streak and I’ve only been taking cold or mildy cold showers with no urges so far.
(I don’t think your body will try to give you an urge when it thinks it’s freezing to death)
