    I relapsed a few days ago.. I thought it not be a problem.. But it was.. Now I am willing to get back up. And I am willing to prevent the factors that caused the relapse. I took it way to hard.. The problem is if you take it way too seriously then it becomes just a challenge not a motivation. I believe this addiction is just a misconception that needs to be cleared. And it can not be cleared until there is imbalance inside my brain.

    May be I am addicted to dopamine. We all are.. I just have to find dopamine in reality, not in imagination. And until then my penis is to be simply ignored.

    I need to talk to the regular people here and keep communicating. Please someone let me know which is the busiest section here.. where can I find people to talk to?

    I am just replying to whatever has been written today in the "Rebooting" section. I think all that matters is that you share your ideas with people and show that you want to help them as well with your own experiences. If you focus on others, then it might help you to not focus on what you should not focus on, i.e. your addiction. I found that it's easier to stay "celibate" when you focus on what you really want to be and visualise what you really want to be. I think focus, memory and self-control are really important in staying clean. They are the key factors, so to speak. Craving dopamine is a problem for us all. We are all human in the end. I acknowledge that we have our human imperfections, but I still try to be as "perfect" as possible. I want to be in control of my body, and I believe if someone really wants something, visualises it and focuses on it, then he can get what he wants. Anyhow, I am totally free for discussion and so on. Feel free to send me private messages or anything. Thank you for sharing your ideas and progress!

    Thanks man.. But there is a big problem when an addicts wants to do a good thing. I believe that this good desire is out of emotion and guilt. it is the visualization and focus under the urge that matters. I must get to that point. And until that point it is just about breaking out of the cycle. And I find this to be impossible to do alone. We need help.

    I have overcome drug addiction and then I even quit smoking. I was able to do it only through help. Weather by being forced or trying to impress someone. And only after breaking the cycle we can have a real desire which gets stronger with time.

    The only reason I am not being able to quit PMO is because there is no one to share with. We must have people who care about us to talk this addiction with. So best of luck to you bro...

    I understand where you are coming from province. If I had good friends and a good job then it was possible. And sometimes I feel like staying at home too much is the biggest problem. But I am learning some stuff and figuring out what to do...
