Recurrent massive urges!

They suck indeed.

They can come in very different forms. Sometimes they start as mild interest in something and without realizing you find yourself escalating to something hardcore.

I recommend you try one of these techniques. I don't know if they are a placebo or not, but the fact that you have to get up and do something, change your breathing, change your muscle tension, etc. really changes your state of mind.

 

Hang in there buddy! Strong urges are tough to get through, well done so far!

I find that strong urges come in waves. They do subside, but every now and then you'll go through periods (maybe a few days long) of strong urges. I have had strong urges on days 7-9, 15-18 and 45-52 previously, although that wasn't on my current streak. Testosterone levels do peak after a week of no sexual activity. That might have something to do with it.

If you can outlast the urges now, you will be building a strong foundation to abstain in the weeks to come. I know you have it in you!

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how much you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"- Rocky Balboa

 

Every urge you resist is an accomplishment you should be proud of. You're the master of your own choice. You decide. Every choice you make moves you forward. What are you moving toward?
