Hello guys. So basically I noticed that my withdrawals symptoms don't start with explicit thoughts about PMO, but with some mild uncomfortable sensations and a feeling of insecurity about my addiction (some undesirable thoughts create this). I used to just ignore that and keep doing whatever I was doing, but that mostly of the times would led to a relapse. Now, I stand up, focus on my breathe and try to remember good things about life. It seems to work for now, but I wonder if it will be enough for all my journey. Do you guys would like to share any coping skills that you use/used in abstinence crisis or something like that? Any tips on that? BTW: The fact that I get some random discomforts like that (that I think are abstinence symptoms) shows that I am doing something wrong, like being in a emotional relapse stage, for instance?
The most helpful thing I found is to read the stories and posts on this forum. I used the "Panic Button" for the first few weeks as well. Reading stories from people who are having a harder time than me, success stories and motivational posts helped me remember why I was on this journey and how bad it can get if I don't quit. Keep going!
