Restraining the Urges

    Greetings, my respected members of this community. If y'all don't mind, I have a question about something I experienced recently.
    You see, in my consecutive 13 days of abstinence, on the 13th day, I would always get this sudden and incontrollable urge to PMO. This would often happen whenever I start questioning the purpose of my life and losing motivation to do productive things. Not to mention, it always happen at night time (specifically 20.00 above). If it's too late for me to repress the urge from appearing, would there just so happen to be an effective method to make the urge go away ? (apart from taking cold showers because none of us in the family usually take showers at an odd hour)

    Whenever you have urges, ask yourself this:

    What do I gain from PMO?

    -Pleasure
    -Have to clean afterwards
    -Damaging my brain lobes
    -Complaining about not being satisfied and the damage I did
    -Depression


    Is it worth it?

    No.

    Well in reality there's little you can do because you are powerless, you may be able to deal with certain urges, but you have to find community and guidance, a place to meet people in the same situation such as SAA (Sex Addicts Anonymous), they've done wonders for me when I finally opened my mind to a simple recovery programme. You have to take this seriously, never be complacent, you can have no half measures, this is something that you have to give everyday to, stop using the internet unless absolutely necessary, get rid of your smart phone, block websites, move your pc to somwhere with people around such as a front room or where you can be seen from outside if you live alone. These are the measures that need to be taken, it's a life long fight and unless you deal with it one day at a time in a serious way you won't stop. Self control and will power are only possible if you haven't slipped into full blown addiction, but if you can't keep off it for a week with self knowledge of what you're doing to yourself, then you are most likely an addict. Very few people succeed with will power alone, but with a programme you can gain some understanding and something far more powerful than yourself to fight with.

    When your fapping parts are going wild put some coconut oil.
