    I just accidentally and very unintentionally saw a very rated R image on a nonP website. I immediately closed it, but it was arousing and I don't want it lead to M or MO. It really is helping to log into this site and post this, getting it off my chest. In fact, just doing this has already gotten me past the heat of the moment. Thanks for reading this, and for your support!

    I agree. I've gone 11 days and just now starting to feel the pressure. It feels like I've gone much longer (which makes sense because it was happening so frequently before). I just keep having to remind myself how empty, frustrated, and miserable I feel afterward. Lord help me.

    Getting past the heat of the moment certainly does not end this trial. I woke up repeatedly through the night with serious woodies and with my hand on myself. Would stroke once then think better of it, stop, and try to go to sleep. At around 4:00 this morning, I gave up and got out of bed, showered (another challenge which I successfully got past), and am now heading to work. Now I'll go through the workday sleep deprived, hoping my performance at work won't be affected. Discouraged and tempted to throw in the towel and MO. Could use some encouragement. Thanks.
     
  5. Yassss man you're becoming superstrong. You're my hero right now. I loved that post so much. This is exactly the right mindset. Is a completely unintentional triggers (Lord knows that can happen) an EXCUSE to relapse, crush your dreams and mood, make you back to the start even saddest than when you started the first time. The answer is very obviously a big, fat, no. Prove destiny wrong. Prove hyper-sexualized society wrong. You're not a sheep and you DO NOT have to follow their mind state.

    And please keep in mind: WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IS THE HARDEST PART. IT DOES GET BETTER. And you deserve it, you deserve it so much, this is exactly what you want, exactly what you need. The benefits that come with not masturbating are benefits from SURPASSING YOURSELF. You surpassed yourself tonight. And YES, you might be tired. YES, it's hard as hell. YES. But you're moving on, and the more time passes, the better (maybe not the easier, but definitely the better) it gets.

    I am witnessing right here right now a man becoming the best version of himself and it moves me deeply. Please, have the best day ever, and relax this evening, you deserve it. Seriously, it's the best situation for you: you managed to stand tall in front of something unexpected. This is what reboot looks like.

    Thinking of you!!!

    You don't need encouragement StopMO, you know in the end it is not worth it. And you know how to combat the urges. Just listen to yourself.

    You saw something that triggered you and came here to post about it. Been there, done that.

    You woke up with strong erections to find yourself lightly stroking it and stopped yourself. Happened here as well.

    Felt you cold no longer trust yourself, so you got out of bed, took a shower (cold I'm assuming), and removed yourself from the environment. Check!!!

    Seems to me you are doing everything right. All that's left is to remind yourself where you have been and where you want to be. Are they the same place? Probably not. Do you want to go back there? An emphatic NO!!!

    You have the strength to beat this addiction. You just need to tap into it.

    Keep the fight StopMO. Your doing great.
