Convert your post-nut clarity into pre-nut clarity
Everyone faces the dreadful post nut clarity which is the feeling of instant regret, shame, and guilt the moment you finish your session. It won’t be any different than the hundreds of other times you’ve failed. Of course that rationality disappears as soon as one gets an urge or temptation.
Instead if you get an urge or temptation just try to picture in vivid detail the scene after you relapse.
-
The moment you release, you instantly close your 15 tabs in utter disgust and shame
-
As you were closing the tabs, you are in complete disbelief that you got off to such depraved material. A picture of a woman in a swimsuit was enough once upon a time
-
You look at the clock and realize an hour just went by searching for the perfect video with the perfect scene to spill you seed to. If asked in a week what that scene was you would not remember it.
-
You go to the bathroom to clean yourself up. You flush down the toilet your seed filled toilet paper or tissue with complete shame. Finishing inside your loving wife would have resulted in a completely opposite experience but instead you watch as the toilet absorbs your seed into the abyss for the hundredth time.
-
You go back to your room and get hit with a nasty smell of sweat and your seed. Imagine what your family smelt when they walk into your room.
-
You notice some sweat marks on your chair and you wipe it off.
-
You open your window to let in some fresh air. It was a nice day out, could have went for a walk or did some pullups and pushups at the park. Tomorrow you say to yourself.
-
You vow to yourself to never fall into this again. The brain fog surfaces again and a feeling of predictable lethargy.
-
You go browse some of your usual sites to distract yourself from the anger and regret.
-
You come across a provocative thumbnail and you click
-
Another hour later you just repeated the same mistake
-
You already relapsed earlier so it’s not that big of a deal you try to delude yourself
-
You feel like a drained sponge now and can’t wait for the day to be over to start fresh tomorrow morning
-
You will start a new chapter tomorrow you vow to yourself. A new beginning. A strong will
-
You told yourself that 7 years ago
The discomfort of dealing with an urge is exponentially better than the regret of a relapse.
