Oof, some strong urges on day 8. Gonna log off soon before I get tempted to relapse. If I'm not using my laptop and suitably distract myself, hopefully the urges will fade sooner rather than later.
That sucks, but keep trying.Relapsed, back to Borg
2 weeks finally complete , with not a single intentional or unintentional peek . lesgooooooooooooooooooooooo . gonna bcom an ensign tomorrow .
Say it to the problem that stress you f*** off!Reset on day 8 going into day 9. Had a bad day and fell into old habits.
Hoping someone can help me with this one. I can control simple urges 9/10 times, but I falter most of all when I am in a low mood or am stressed. I feel in the moment like I want to relapse, realise what I'm doing midway through, but then by that point it is too late and I just keep going. Has anyone figured out a way to avoid this? Beyond just "avoid the thing that puts you in a bad mood" because at the moment that isnt possible.

, i will not fall, just for you, i started this path no matter what appears on my way!
That is the strategie i use
Hi Sisko. I'm no expert on this, but things I've found helpful the last few weeks are:
- checking HALT (Hungry Angry Lonely Tired) points, and adjusting as necessary, e.g. eating if hungry, connecting socially with someone if lonely. I find that if I can get these points down to 2 or less, my urges are pretty manageable.
- doing something else that distracts/absorbs me, e.g. playing a game, watching a film/series. This mimics P in a way I suppose - something to 'lose myself' in for a while as a distraction from the stress I'm feeling.
- getting out of the house, going for a walk and listening to music or a podcast. Again, distraction. And not being in the house means I simply can't P.
- writing on here: talking about how I'm feeling, almost talking it out with myself in writing - this seems to help me with 1. viewing both the stress and the urge more objectively, and 2. giving the urge time to pass. This has helped me a lot when I've been on the edge.
Hope something here helps.

Also if possible make yourself a quote , like my quote is " I shall never do anything irrational and if I do then I won't blame anyone else , for all of it were caused due to my actions only ." i had suggest finding your own instead of taking someone's else
Best of luck .
