    Hello friends, so this is my story. I came on this website after falling back to my addiction. I abstained from PMO for a good year all on my own(feel pretty proud about that)....but then I had a relapse. Now that I got back to it I honestly feel super fake. My self-esteem is lower, concentration is 0 (since its all I'm thinking about!)and I keep telling my self its okay. Even though I know that its not. Its just when I'm in the moment I'll have all these dumb reasons why I should just go for it (like, "this is my opportunity", or some dumb shit like that). Plus its gotten to become like a ritual that I need to complete in order to go to sleep(and sometimes out of the blue). To top it off, its so time consuming! you know how hard it is being all sneaky with your loved ones! I don't have anyone that will really try to help me without judging me so that's why I'm actually on here. I need moral support. I did it once, I think I can do it again! I already have two days down, hard mode 90(now its 88) day reboot here I come!

    Okay almost day three ever since I PMOed. QUITTING coffee and sleeping more is one thing that definitely makes things better on my end. The stress(which is usually the trigger) is no longer there! :) but now I must work on boredom and being home alone. Just must get a plan going and I think Ill be fine. One day at a time!!!

    Sleeping well is essential for me. Otherwise life seems awful and then things bother me and then I can justify acting out

    one day man, then the next.
    if your trying to keep your mind busy i suggest getting into tying knots. i know crazy but it helps me focus on something else. get some small rope or the 550 cord you find at surplus stores or craft supplies. check out Fusion knots and just learn a few knots, they vary in difficulty and it is easy to keep some cord in your pocket so if you end up struggling you can pull it out and just tie a few knots or a bracelet or something.
    i hope this helps. good luck.
