It appears that I started my reboot at the same time as you... well sort of. I actually started a week earlier but it didn't last long. Call it more of a false start. Gave in for no apparent reason. It was almost like "hey, haven't done this in a couple days" and then just did it. Felt pretty disgusted that it was triggered by something as simple as being halfway proud of making it a few days without doing it. Been better recently. Gave it another go starting Wednesday and so far so good. 8 days down. I am getting through it but it has been tough. I am feeling like I have a bit of blue balls and that I am about to explode at times. Hard not to think about. The biggest test for me will be the next time I travel for work and I'm in my hotel room alone and bored. It won't be for a couple weeks but I am honestly dreading it. Need a plan to stick with. Might have to leave my phone in the car to remove the temptation. Good to find someone on the same track as me. I'll check in with you regularly. Let's see how far we can make it.
Hey, great job @Sam Mo! keep on fighting. If you ever think of relapsing, I advise you to think about this. You have 2 choices. Choice 1: Relapse and feel like shit. Choice 2: Continue fighting for your goals and know that if you relapse, you go back to where you came from, which I believe is something you don't want. Stay strong.
I started my rebooting today. My longest ever streak was 40 days followed by 35 and 30 days. I think I can make it to 31st without PMO.
thanks for the wise words buddy i feel alot better today. i still have minor urges but i am not letting the escalate to something big. i might have a cold shower tonight after work.
DAY 9 FRIDAY 10/03/2017 Another day gone and i fought the battle very hard. yesterday was tricky i must say but i am not giving up anytime soon!! i just hope i have a wet dream soon as that will release some tension building up down there. the issue i have is that my cravings are for real people not for P which is slightly abnormal for me and also i wanna ask some of yous why did you masterbate? loneliness, stress, sad? Mine is slightly different. when ever i will be happy i will masterbate and also when i achieved something or pass some exams i will do PMO? Under stress i done it as well. just curious if this is the case with somebody else as well.
At first, it was curiosity. I started at 16/17? Subsequently, it was loneliness and stress. Gradually it became a routine and a habit. I remember reading somewhere that humans are habitual creatures. Therefore, at some point ago (I can't remember exactly when), I realized that PMO is taking away my social life unknowingly. Good thing I found this problem early and now I am trying to stop it from taking over me. Hope this gives you some insights. Stay strong brother.
I see Mine is different not many people are talking about this. i PMO becuase im happy and sometimes to treat myself after passing an exam or doing some valuable if this makes sense. I know this is strange but yeah this is my problem obviously the loneliness and stress was there too!!
I guess everybody is different. tomorrow will be day 10! looking forward to it. today was a good day after 2 days of super crazy days!!
Everybody is different as you have pointed out. I have read somewhere in the forum that PMO makes us eternal teenagers and prevents us from growing up; going out there to face the world. For me, I am trying to give myself no reason or excuse to go back to PMO again, regardless of whether it was a stressful or happy day. There are better things to do than jerking off in front of a computer screen (literally). Furthermore, all the negative effects are pretty clear cut. Of course, I am a human like you and have urges/temptation at times. Probably have to direct that energy into something else or a real person. Haha. Hope this helps. Cheers.
