I had kept watching porn during the Chinese New year week, when I had injured legs and tried to keep myself from moving out of my room, so they could recover faster.
Was feeling like crap watching to much, and I had less energy.
I restarted on Friday last week, 2018 Feb 16, and have not done O since.
I’m now at 1 day 14 hours.
I previously had a 43-day streak of no P and O in 2016 but failed and could not get back to a long streak after.
I did M without P or O on Monday, 2 days ago in my timezone (2018 Feb 19), but then I stumbled on the NoFap® website and its getting started PDF guide, which mentioned the 4 levels (difficulties) of abstinence:
No P. No PM. No PMO (no sex allowed), or custom level.
From this guide, it suddenly made sense to me that I was tracking the wrong thing (I abstained from O, but not so much M) and that I could be tackling more important triggers (hot material, rather than porn material).
So even though I didn’t reset my counter on Monday by my standards, I want to reset my counter in the end, because there is more strict and safer standard to hold myself by.
I now realize I can (and will) track if I relapse, even to M. It’s hard, but I want to monitor my viewing of (merely) sexy / hot material as well.
Hoping for the best!

Tuesday, I passed by a couple of slightly hot pictures. I would consider that those didn’t count, coz I didn’t search th em out and I didn’t linger with them, but I gotta be careful with how I browse around.
The goal, after all, is to rewire the brain.
Today… A colleague I find hot… I’m glad I feel a bit more normal around her today. I had been coping with my “surge” for the past few days and I didn’t feel I was afternoon strong (awkward) sexual feelings toward her… and this, I didn’t feel tension trying to turn towards her to just face her.
Might be just something in my head, but I’m hoping this is some progress!!
It sure is! Normally PMO addicts (including me) Think about woman naked when they are hot. And if you get to an event like that try to think away in 3 seconds.
I wish you luck on Your journey!
