    Asking this question since I am confused, not to confuse you folks...currently in my 11th day of reboot.

    My brain is trying to trick me saying that you should not suppress your desires and it is good to vent out my sexual urges. I know deep down that this shouldn't be right, but this thought keeps coming back to me, " Aint I suppressing my basic desires and wont it burst like some active volcano some day?"
     
  2. You gotta treat this as if you were an addict to say alcohol or smoking or whatever. Whenever someone tries to quit drinking, there's always that nudge from the brain saying "Oh its only a taste" or "I'll only have one beer." But its the small things that matter, and the alcoholic taking that "one" sip usually leads to another sip and then another. Since you are in the process of rebooting, you're cutting off a thing your brain has had for a long time, cold turkey. Ask any alcoholic about that first week of quitting. Your brain will do anything to get back to the "normal", which is PMO for us. Its using rationalizations like "you'll explode" to get you to relapse. The only cure is time. It sucks, but even three weeks in my brain still wants PMO. Anyways, keep on truckin'. 11 days is no easy feat.
     
  3. Also remember that even though those urges feel very real, ultimately what you are craving is something synthetic and unreal. Your body might feel like this for a while, but upon reading success stories you'll find that we can successfully recover from this, and start feeling, loving, and enjoying life in a fuller sense.
