That's good advice @Squeaky Soul, especially so, because you have been there! May I add a note of caution for those reading: Be very selective about the lyrics of the music you work out to. There are a lot of songs nowadays that have sexually explicit lyrics. Avoid these like the plague. Then you can have the full benefit described here ^

I've noticed that the lyrics can trigger feelings, so thanks for pointing that out!!

I went without it for a long time as well.

This is how I've been looking at it recently:

Do whatever you can to string together a few clean days. If you can do that, do it again and add on a few more days. It might get more difficult the longer you last, so try new stuff help you. Remember: Whatever it takes. After you string together a week, add on another week, and repeat. Before you know it you'll be gliding on through!

One day at a time.

Here's a helpful tip. Break down your relapse. Why do you relapse?

Here's what I found:
For me, PMOing is getting my heart rate up, getting very, very excited, rewarding myself, and a way to calm down once you release.

You can't quit cold turkey and go on with the rest of your life unchanged. I think failure would could very easily. You have to fill the void of the addiction with something positive.

Here's what I did:
A healthy and fun way to get my heart rate up is to exercise while listening to my favorite music. Working out is just getting your heart rate up, adding music makes it more fun! Plus, exercising is a good way to sleep better at night. Often the first thing that happens to me when I've gone a week without working out is, I notice the urges are stronger and I have a harder time knocking out at night. You don't need to pay for a gym. I haven't had a problem building muscle with just calisthenics (body weight exercises). Look it up. I'm not massive, but I used to be a twig. Not anymore.

Another thing I've tried to do is get out more, especially on the weekends. When my friend died last year, I went from a naturally shy person, to a total hermit! Recently I've been spending a lot of time getting into contact with the friends I haven't seen in a while. That's fun, and it's a rush. Especially with girls around.

So get out there, have fun, workout, and get a good night's rest!

Great advice! I appreciate it and I've been looking at it as one fay at a time and one battle at a time. The Creed movie kinda helped with that part! Lol.. and i see what you're saying get some victories under my belt and keep pushing farther along each time..
And I've been trying to figure out why i relapsed and i believe its because i opened the door to it, i know i didnt watch anything the first time but it lead me to it.

Thanks for sharing what you do and im sorry for your lost. I am glad to hear that your social life is improving! Friends are definitely a must specially ones you can be open with, I'm blessed to have friends like that!
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! Its helping me fight!!
