Yeah ik. I’ve already relapsed a second time there needs to be some changes. Uninstalling social media. Idk what to do about the laptop

I barely woke up. I was knocked out after the second relapse. Had a lucid dream and experienced sleep paralysis. Super scary. Overall I feel like shit. All I could think about was having to go to school and why I didn’t wanna go. Cant hold my head up right now. I’m destroying myself. Relapses bring more negativity. I uninstalled instagram and blocked youtube and my browser. Idk how to avoid relapse on a laptop. Edge browser and internet explorer don’t go away. The thing i fap to can be found with child safety on so it’s really hard. I don’t know I really don’t. I’ll just do better. Work out after school and meditate. I haven’t showered in 3 days so after school I’ll do that too because there is no time. I have work to do as well. So much shit i havent done because ive been miserable. I’ll do better

Listen @anon9498230. You can’t block these things everywhere. It is available in every nook and corner, how many of the sources can you block??

Best approach is to block it from entering your mind. Don’t be dependent on blockers whilst your mind roaming free on such thoughts.

Learn to control your mind and body. Invest your time in learning this rather than searching for blockers.
That’s my opinion.

I really need to do this. Ever since I stopped meditating streaks have gotten worse. I also got more negative. Meditating kept me happy even after relapse. I need to get back into the habit of that and exercise. Ever since I had to cancel my gym membership I’ve been demotivated and only do the occasional set of push ups and mountain climbers. I haven’t had a good workout in a good 3 months. Those two things with cold showers kept me straight. School definitely takes a lot of motivation out of me too. Was supposed to be taking lifting classes there but my classmates would rather do regular gym classes. I really just have to get to these things.

You yourself gave out the problem and the solution.
Lemme explain -
Small things lead to big change…
The things you mentioned like not showering for 3 days, not meditating, and many more small activities may not have direct relation to PMO…but they do have a compound effects on the outcome of your mindset.

By tweaking small changes in your life…you can significantly reduce your urges and handling them will become easy…

There’s a term to this method… Theory of Marginal Gains

Watch this video carefully and understand it in the context of your situation…I believe you can pull it off…

That’s a really good video and i think its a good way to live. Kinda like progressive overload but applied to things other than exercise. I like it. Thank you for showing me this.

I was pissed all day today. Had to play it off but for most of the day I was angry. At the end of the day my ex’s new bf brought her over to fuck with me. I was an asshole to her so it was well deserved. It made me depressed. I still feel bad about how I’ve treated girls before. I do my best to treat my current gf the same way I would want to be treated. Still though, that situation got to me. Maybe it’s the relapse but I really am just angry right now.

Reached a day. Was able to get a small workout in and a cold shower in yesterday after school. Also shaved just to feel a bit better. Sleep was kinda crappy got like 5 hours in. Been getting bad sleep hours for a long time. Got a few pushups in this morning and talked to my gf. Still pretty frustrated but I’m not as frustrated as I was yesterday. Hoping today goes well.

Relapsed. No excuses. Even if i was in a bad mood this is not okay. Let my urges get to me. Back at 0

Just focus on the present 24 hours bro

As soon as you make 24 hours, reward yourself with ice cream or anything, and then again make 24 hours target, this way it will be doable and easy to do…

Just try…

Your advice is really good but i couldnt hold on. Relapsed 13 hours in. In regret right now.

No problem, you can start from now…

After a relapse, instead of talking about it, it’s better to do something about, atleast when the problems and reasons for relapsing are same.

Today despite a relapse was good. Talked with my girlfriend a little, got my last paycheck and bought an outfit with some other stuff. Also made music and got push ups in. 3rd consecutive day of cold showers. Meditated today. Been experiencing a lot of gerd symptoms after relapsing. Idk how to fix it bc I’ve been experiencing it for years. Anyways yeah today was super chill.

If its happening only after relapse, don’t spend your time trying to find a solution. The solution is not relapsing!
Redirect your time in controlling your emotions and thoughts.

Relapsed. Got a little wild with my gf. I knew i was going to relapse so i made sure to at least go longer than my last streak. I went 15 hours last time this time i went a bit over 23. I dont really feel bad emotionally but i did turn to porn at a certain point and that disappoints me. I’ll do better next time. Shooting for one day or more.

Chaser effect got me. Was idle and started peeking. I still dont feel too bad emotionally bit physically im drained

I think you just got numb.
You should rethink what are you doing and where will this thing lead you.
Might be it’s just not “your time” to quit it. You’re just “ok” with it.
If deep down you’re “ok” with it, you will fail at your slightest urge. So - think.
