I’m starting this journal to document my recovery from PMO and build discipline in my life. This is not just about quitting a habit, it’s about regaining control over my time, focus, and behavior.
I’ve struggled with inconsistent control. Urges don’t follow a fixed pattern, and I tend to relapse impulsively without clear triggers. That’s exactly why I’m doing this publicly to create accountability and eliminate that “automatic relapse” behavior.
STREAK DETAILS
Start Date: 13/04/2026
Current Streak: Day 0 (Fresh Start)
Goal: Full PMO elimination + stronger discipline system
Link: NO-PMO
WHY I’M DOING THIS
I’m wasting time and energy on something that gives me nothing in return.
My discipline is weak, especially during sudden urges.
I need control over my actions, not excuses.
MAIN PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED
Sudden urges with no obvious trigger
Acting without thinking (impulsive relapse loop)
Lack of structure in daily routine
Low resistance when bored or unproductive
PLAN GOING FORWARD
Daily journaling (honest, no filtering)
Immediate action when urges hit (no negotiation)
Focus on building structure: study, exercise, cleaning
Track patterns instead of guessing triggers
RULES
No peeking, no edging, no “just a little”
Urge = action, not thinking
No lying in journal
This journal will be brutally honest. If I fail, I will document it. If I improve, I will document it. No hiding.

Next-Day Strategy (Must Be Specific)
Avoid:
Replace with:
Key focus:
Identity Reinforcement (Short, Hard Statement)
Write 1 line:
“I am a man who ________.”
(No motivation quotes. Just identity.)
RULES (READ CAREFULLY)
If you skip Urge Tracking, you’re choosing to stay blind.
If you write vague answers, you’re lying to yourself.
If you don’t define next-day strategy, you will repeat the same mistake.
This is the format I will be using to write my daily progress.
I feel surprised after watching your diary
Because I can see the same pattern which I have gone through in my past you’re writing the same.
And you are writing the same way which I used to write in my physical diary.
This is the total trekking I did with my friend today. Legs got overkilled with pain and I slept on the 1st half of mountain while friend went for few more distance.
This is the place we went for trekking:
I believe I can continue fighting urges, although it’s getting harder and stronger.
The main cause for people to relapse is when they have a lot of free time or are doing no work. No joke.
Today when I was trekking, my mind didn’t even think of relapsing, overthinking nor stressing out. We were enjoying the trip. The only time I had urges were when I saw those foreign women. But also after they went, talking to friend helped me and we cracked jokes about this.
But after that, we were again enjoying until the travelling back trauma hit us cuz we had 3 hrs 30 min return back time to reach home.
So, if you have lots of free time, do something else or don’t react to the urges like I do when I am in my free time.
Oow, you are married, my bad. Never knew you were elder person.
Interesting, which ones are you playing. Valo, cod, gacha games, souls game?
Agreed, dad have account and I recently watched fatherhood[Kevin hart one].
But, some movies thumbnail and the genre are … [You know what type they are]
There is option to remove A rated movies where s..x & nude scenes are shown but still any movie we watch, we become relaxed & our eyes can freely feast on a women, while in real world we cant do so much because there are other people around.
Just wanna say that I failed today and it was totally my mistake, but I will surely start the grind again from tomorrow.
Believe me, I feel proud on completing day 2. I always failed to reach day 1 and today I feel proud. I once reached 8 days clean but I don’t remember much.
I will be taking an full day chill for relieving my stress and overthinking. I am trapped in the overthinking so hard I am unable to focus or do any work.
So I will be going full lazy and chill mode today. Don’t expect anything productive today.
