    People, somethimes I don't get myself. You know it went great, I lived great days without pmo. But after 10 days without even having urges I began to look at pictures which lead me to watch nudity and I let myself cum without using my hand or anything. I felt sooooo stupid so I was like, well it's ok I'll just go further and I won't do it again. Woke up today with a good mood being positive to make this a good day.. but I relapsed 4 times today...... ARRHHHHHHHHHHHHH I don't get it!!

    You know, it has been long since I was here. I really should post updates everyday.
    I relapsed and you know it almost feels impossible to overcome this.. So many want to stop including myself, but the thing is, even though we don't want it we do want it.
    I hate it, I want it out of my life. I am gonna reset my counters and start over. As long I live I have the chance to overcome it and I believe I shall!

    Thanks! It helps reading your comments! I will quit this junk, I know that life is better without it. Recently I'm learning to play the piano. I spend hours on it. And I should too start to work out again. Glad you're ok! Keep it up ;)

    This thought process is likely the reason so many people give up on PMO and relapse. While relapsing isn't the end of the world, as with each streak you get stronger neurologically, the relapses happen most of the time because the thought of the how much time you have left to go, or how far you are from your "number" overwhelms said person. It's why people whom are out of shape struggle to begin losing weight. The thought of how far they have to go deters them from ever starting in the first place.

    I'll soon be known for my golf analogies ( I play professionally and the game provides many life lessons). When I play in qualifiers for the PGA tour, if I go into the day thinking of the low number i'd have to shoot, on this hard golf course, under tournament conditions, with the best players in the world...that thought is overwhelming. When I think like that I don't see how I have any chance of winning. But when I break it down and think about the round in individual shots; shots I know I can play and have played with ease tens of thousands of times, the once overwhelming task of qualifying for the tour, becomes vastly more manageable.

    You'd do well to adopt this example of classic sports psychology. Forget the streaks. Forget the arbitrary numbers. If you want to have a goal, thats great...but don't take it 30 days at a time. I'd say take it ONE day at a time. Fuck, take it 2 HOURS at a time. When you can manage the little things, like two hour streaks without porn or masturbation, and then start over, another two hours. Get through all of those and before you know it you're at the number that was once overwhelming to your brain.

    Godspeed.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I think I agree with you but I have to say that although I have my counter and that I set my goals like 30 to 60 to 90 days I face it day by day and that encourages me.

    Day 6 done. ;)
