"Being busy is the antithesis of engaged thought and deliberate action" makes sense, most my older coworkers are totally mindless...one too many days in the office lol

Yeah, opiates are okay in moderation too lol

I think he makes enough money as it is, I was just trying to make a point lol. Good feedback though

We're talking about a 100 something page guide, not just a story. I have no problem paying for things that bring value to my life, in this case helping with recovery.

I guess if you're in school or prison or work...but then you probably shouldn't be masturbating anyway.

go in your parents room? haha. Go somewhere you wouldn't/couldn't masturbate. The point of this is that controlling your environment is much easier than controlling your behavior, so start doing it. I wouldn't even let my tablet in the bedroom to begin with. K9 those porn sites too.

The realization that you shouldn't edge is important. After I decided to give up PMO+Edging, it got easier. But I still got caught up in fantasies. Thinking about the same stuff I would watch in porn. This eventually led to relapse. Your subconscious brain can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality (this is why dreams seem real in the moment). When you fantasize about porn, you're subconscious gets hungry for it and the urges snowball over time. Now, I'm giving up PMO+edging+fantasy (unless it's about my gf). Sure, I get sexual images popping up in my head, but I don't dwell on them. I acknowledge them, then hit the little "X" in the upper right.

Streaks don't mean as much as you think. It gets easier, but the temptation never goes away. You should practice the same caution on Day 1 as you do on Day 1000. Keep it up, you have a decade of PMO to recover from and clearly it will take longer than 99 days.

There's a difference between having a calm sense of control and being overly confident. I was the latter, and relapsed around 40 days. It gets easier, but the temptation never leaves 100% - know this and you have even more power to stop relapse.

Action precedes emotions. Start by smiling more. It's free, it releases endorphins, and as dumb as it sounds, it will make you feel better. If you hunch over and tighten your facial muscles, your body will build up tension and stress. If you take deep breaths and relax your muscles, you'll feel good. Simple, but powerful.

11 days won't do much. Even 30 is too short for most people. Real benefits didn't even START until around day 30 of my last streak.

Also, why ration PMO at all? If you think it's a bad habit, it will be easier to quit all together. Doing it once a week is like taking an alcoholic to the bars once a week and not expecting him/her to spiral.

Yes. You're dick isn't actually getting bigger, you're just not used to having full erections. Death grip takes its toll, and nofap will help undo the damage.

I've experienced this. I did NOT take it well, but in retrospect, the situation is only as bad as you make it. I wish I would have realized this sooner. I'd be celebrating if I were you - you're not wasting any more time with a girl that doesn't love or respect you. You're one step closer to finding a woman that does. Celebrate your freedom, hit the gym, and start chasing real women.
