@anon67854825 Stay strong man! We are all rooting for you!
@staybusymymotto Glad to see you join us dude! I think it’s gonna really help, especially as you take the step to go hard mode. And totally true statement, self love is definitely essential.
As for me, Had major urges tonight. The trigger was being super stressed, late at night, trying to figure out electrical engineering homework when everyone online was giving me a different answer. I have to wake up early tomorrow so that was stressing me out a lot.
I kept fighting back and forth with the urges as I attempted to complete the homework. Picking up my phone, putting it back down, picking it up, putting it down. It’s kinda funny cause if anyone were to see me I might of looked a bit ridiculous, but there was a serious battle going on in my head.
I found that something you said @Forerunner in a recent post was very helpful for me as a dialogue. You said that you would never put porn in front of your friend and make him relapse if he was trying to quit and so you wouldn’t do that to yourself. You have to love yourself like that. The biggest counter I had tonight to the voice of the urges was “No I can’t do that to ‘Special Bird’ because I may want it now, but he never asked for this. He wants to be clean so that he can live a happy life and be the best he can be for his family, don’t do this to him.”
Then I was able to take a minute, and I said to myself, alright let’s just accept that I’m going to miss sleep tonight and that this assignment is going to take some bit of research. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and said PMO won’t fix this. And I let it go.
So thank you for that! It was really helpful. Managed to not edge at all and to make it through my assignment, now I’m just getting into bed.
See you guys tomorrow, day 15!

Magnificent counter to the urges, brother! You won a great victory last night. There is great power in speaking to the urges directly. By acknowledging that our present self wants to go back to PMO, but our future self never wanted this and wants to live a happy and fulfilling life, we gain the strength to say No and fight another day.
What you have done is the method I use every time an urge strikes me, and with GOD’s Help, I am on day 88 today. I practice doing this twice a day, even when I don’t have an urge, just to maintain the habit so I’m always prepared to counter the urge directly in the moment of temptation. Someone who keeps this up every time will find that the urge to PMO pales in comparison to the desire to lead a better life.

Day 2 - today’s my 19nth day of noMO. I slept for a while in afternoon. When I woke up my tool was rock solid. It made me so happy. I’m regaining my sanity and masculinity. Thank you folks. Please don’t fap or watch porn. It’ll corrupt your mi nd and fill you with self doubts. Love yourself.

@Forerunner I’m honored for you to have quoted me, and thank you, I will have to make sure to use this counter again, and try to use it to prepare in advance, especially in light of my encounter today.
Today has been well, very tired and running low on sleep, but still great. Got a lot of my homework and hobbies done. I am finding that with staying clean, it is getting easier to focus on work again. Additionally, I am barely stressing out about my schedule anymore. When I am PMOing, these things cause me much stress, but not anymore. This is something new and amazing for me.
One thing that was annoying today though was that I was checking my Instagram for updates on my family and friends when I saw a message from someone. From the profile pic, it looked like a scam profile. So I went to block the user but it automatically opened the message causing me to see the message. Which of course was some raunchy video.
What bothered me most was not the trigger itself but rather that as almost an instant reaction I had found myself clicking on the profile to see what else was on there. I instantly clicked off and thankfully there was nothing else on the profile. But still, it is crazy how years of PMO use can ingrain certain pleasure-seeking reactions into your brain.
These are the kinds of things I can’t wait to rewire. It makes me feel guilty, but everytime that guilt shows it’s head I push it out because I know that will only lead to more urges and relapse. It was a reaction and I shouldn’t be hard on myself, the addiction wants me to hate myself because it will inevitably win if I do.
But as I was saying Forerunner, I will have to try saying these counters to myself and preparing in advance for surprise situations like this so that I can rewire my brain to not pursue it.
Almost to my previous high streak of 18 days! Vigilance is key.

Day 3 - Mind totally blocked. Didn’t study much. Or rather, couldn’t study much. Felt requirement to watch porn to make my mind normal. That’s what addiction is. But I held on. Didnt watch any porn and kept myself busy. Didnt edge. Hopes this brain fog goes away.
