any one have experience of the chaser effect? I am really struggling with day four to day five after a reset! I have gotten so close to MO. Is this the chaser effect after my last reset? I have had two reset incidents so far one was with P and really disgusted me I took that as motivation. The second was with No P and was pleasant, now I am really struggling!!! Any experiences or advice?
My impression was that chaser effect is just the same day or maybe the next. I wouldn't expect it to come 4-5 days later. I'd just classify that as an urge. I'm no expert on the matter though, that's jsut my understanding.
I've had some urges today as well, but I've realized that we're essentially watching pixels on a screen, so the urges gradually vanish. It's not real. No matter how many videos you watch or finding that perfect scene you've been searching for hours on end and decided to masturbate to it, it's not real. You can't smell or touch it. You don't feel any kind of physical response. You won't ever find the same feelings as when interacting with a real human being next to you. It's all in vain and we're only doing harm to our body, especially the brain, by ejaculating on a piece of paper. It's our life energy, it's where new life will be born. And we're flushing that down the toilet and feel terrible afterwards with all the guilt and shame. There's never a better time to quit this horrible addiction than now. Not tomorrow, not next week. Now is the perfect time to live the life you're supposed to live.
Keep going! It may be hard but it's worth it. Remember to keep yourself doing worthwhile things. You could read a book or do some exercise, anything that you enjoy and isn't bad for you.
I reset on Saturday evening! I now know what the chaser effect is unfortunately. I am finding it difficult to find a positive this time but I guess it’s understanding the chaser effect!
