When do you begin to feel down

That's a eligible question for a beginner. In my experience, through no pmo, the happiness hormones which are released by watching porn and masturbating will not be there anymore, so you will feel the lack of it! This could lead to pugnacity and tension. You will feel withdrawal symptons, because your brains needs to adapt to your "new life". So to answer your question: Sooner or later you will feel down, you will feel anxious. But you know what. This is normal! This is part of the life and it's okay to have some ups and downs in life. You will have to learn to handle these bad days..it's part of quitting porn and becoming a grown man.

 

I don't know if this is a tool, but maybe some reasoning or thinking...

As cliche as it sounds, I believe in positive thinking, so don't start thinking beforehand that you're going to be down and depressed during that party.

That being said, let's say you wake up that day and you feel down/irritable. You should be on your 9th day then I believe. Some days will be rough like will_power says.

Do whatever you have to do to make it through that day. If you have to leave the party early, then do it.

Imagine that day as being the 9th day of being PMO free for say 2 years. That when you're PMO free for 2 years and you look back at the 9th day, it was a shitty day at a party. After all, someday you'll be able to look back at these days and laugh!
