Hey there, I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I definitely know what it's like to be an addict. The guilt, frustration, anger. February of this year my friend told me about this site I was pretty skeptic but curiosity got the best of me. I never even realized how badly I was hooked on pmo. From that day forward I promised myself No more and went 110 days straight without PMO. I was so proud, clear minded and felt happy. One day something triggered me and I slowly got back into the habit of going from once every two weeks, to once a week, to once today, to once every couple hours.I felt like I took a huge leap backwards and felt awful. Eight days ago I decided that's it I'm done!! Please guys help me get through this as I know it's so worth it at the end.
110 Days!! Strong work! Keep this in mind: If you were to relapse every other day, you would be fapping 50% less!! Not bad. You will be successful if you don't give up! Lifelong journey brother. Learn from the relapse and it will not be failure. Journal around the event. Why did it happen? What were you doing minutes before? hours before? days before? How was your diet? Were you exercising? Were you engaged in doing things you enjoy? etc. Dig deep with each relapse. It is an incredible opportunity to learn about yourself and ultimately grow stronger and become the warrior you intend to be. Head up! Stay strong.
