Part of the change in my mindset which has helped me so much the last couple days is accepting that part of being a man is having sexual urges you don't get to satisfy. That's actually a normal part of life that before PMO was normalized was understood as a healthy part of a male's life. Dealing with tightness in the balls, erections and urges etc. isn't some I'll we have to overcome, or "symptoms" of withdrawal. It's the positive effects of withdrawal. You're *supposed* to have these things, it's a sign of being sexually healthy. It only feels foreign because we've been taking an unnatural drug the whole time. Once I realized this, waiting out physical discomfort/urges has become relatively easy. "Freedom" isn't about not having urges or physical symptoms of not doing PMO, it's about incorporating those aspects back into your life and acknowledging they're part of reality as someone sexually healthy.
