I relapsed after 7 days

After one week of no masturbating I gave in yesterday night and I didn’t even find it that good. Problem is today morning the urge is now back in force like before and it’s easy to forget why I did all this. I think having sex has some trigger since I had it the day before

Getting to 7 days is tough but not impossible. I find it harder after 30 days.
It’s the temptations that go at you Afterwards. Hardest part to shake off.

What you need to do is find more Distractions. Meditations.
Acknowledge your failures, Mistakes. And learn from them.
It’s like Mount Everest times a Million.
You must climb

Dont count the days, Find ways to distract yourself. You will have a longer streak doing so

Remember, It’s a Journey. Not a Race.
Not going for Number 1 here.
Just want to better yourself.

Do it for you
Remember, Do it for you

It’s normal for a PMO addict to get the urges that way. There’s even a term for it : the chaser effect.

“I didn’t even find it that good.” is the very proof that currently you’re an addict. I’ve been there before, I know how that feels. It’s disgusting, right? But we definitely can heal and grow in a better direction.

If I may suggest, perhaps you shouldn’t involve yourself in any kind of sexual activity for a certain period of time. Say it for at least 3 months (actually I don’t know because everyone is different) Because it can trigger your addiction.

It’s okay bro, accept your past, accept your mistake, analyze yourself, develop better strategy, and move on.

It will take a long time, so please enjoy the journey. Learn as much as you can, experiment methods over and over again.

It’s already an achievement to be able to reach 7 days. In fact, if you can do for 7 days, you can do it for a lifetime. Find your strongest and biggest why, what’s the main reason for you to stop PMO.

Alright that’s it from me. Good luck!

Same happens to me after I ruin a decent streak and then it attacks the next day stronger. Its only your body trying to reset itself to what its used to. After you resist that strong urge, it will be easier to restart your streak. Never go for a second round after you ruin your streak. I’ve done that a number of times, and it always drags me down the same rabbit hole.

I know that feeling the next day. Good thing I was busy for the whole day.

Yeah bro. My tips : engage in activities that you enjoy the most, that way, you will rewire the brain into thinking that you can enjoy life and have fun without PMO.
