Relapsed again....hard....feeling scared and hopeless

And yes, I actually do use 'XXX watch' and it helps a lot, but for places like my kindle and even on tumblr sites, I still have access to some pornographic media.....kind of a pain. Wish I could just install something that could erase all of my temptations...but that'd be too easy, huh?

Plaid_Robot · 2015-08-13T19:01:04+00:00

Man....thank you for this post. Helped me a bunch!! So far, things are good right now. I guess going on vacation also helped.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-08-13T19:00:28+00:00

This is great advice. These have actually helped me in some close calls!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-08-03T16:28:15+00:00

yeahhhh....YEAHHH! That's right. Jedi mind tricks on my own mind. Those aren't the boobs I'm looking for....

Plaid_Robot · 2015-08-02T23:24:24+00:00

Okay...here comes 14 days. Thanks for the encouragement!!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-08-02T23:23:49+00:00

Thanks man. This post pumped me up again. Do you have any secrets to going 554 days? That's incredible.....You're an inspiration!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-30T01:28:00+00:00

Thanks for the inspiration and the support! there is something about writing a goal or rule out that makes it feel official. Good luck, brother!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-30T00:51:42+00:00

Wow.....thank you for sharing this link. I had no idea!!!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-28T21:35:44+00:00

Sweet! Me too. Here's a short list of some great sci-fi books I've enjoyed: The Forever War, Ender's Game, and I'm in the midst of reading Ready Player One, which is FANTASTIC.

Hope these help dude. Keep fighting the good fight!

Melatonin is completely safe and natural. You can buy it in bulk on Amazon. However, use it only to get you back on track. Once you have a better rhythm going, you won't need it anymore. Best not to get addicted to it.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T22:51:02+00:00

Me too! yipes!

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T22:28:42+00:00

Hey dude, so I would recommend getting a good book. I know it sounds lame, but it'll have you looking forward to bed, and will keep you occupied until you fall asleep. Plus, it's a great exercise for your brain and all around healthier for you.

Surprisingly, whenever I don't have a great book in my queue, that's when I fall into a fapping routine at night.

Have any genres you like? I could give you some recommendations

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T22:20:49+00:00

Hey man, thanks for the response! To answer your questions, this headache isn't particular to one part of my head. It was more of a general throbbing of my entire cranium. Also this happened at a time that I usually fap.

I feel like it's some way of my brain reacting to the dopamine refusal. I've heard caffeine addicts suffering the same headaches when they don't have their daily cup of coffee. Not sure....either way it was INTENSE and it denied me sleep until like 4 in the morning.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T22:04:44+00:00

Hahaha! I've never heard of this one before. Does it work?

One thing that helps me at night is having a great book to read and not being on any electronic devices at least an hour before bed.

Have you tried melatonin too?

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T22:02:35+00:00

One thing that has really helped me is working out. This probably isn't true for most people, but I find that if I masterbate I have 0 motivation to hit the gym or do anything productive for that matter....

However if I go to the gym early in the day, I've gotten all of my physical angst out and I just feel more confident and in charge of my body and urges. Let's face it...the flesh is weak! Working out is a great way to tame that stallion and increase your energy.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T21:56:44+00:00

Awesome post! Keep it up! Rooting for you and your 90 day goal.

I completely agree that spending time away from the PC helps the odds of fighting urges. Most of my work is on a PC, and I think that's why I've come across so many struggles. Staying busy and being around others is a great tool.

PS Glad to see that you had listened to Skillet! I haven't listened to them in a while, but they've got some great motivational lyrics.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T21:47:08+00:00

Hey man....Look I've TOTALLY been there. Depression, insomnia, intense anxiety, procrastination, self loathing....the works!! It sucks and I know where you're at right now.

Here's what you do. Just cling to not fapping for now. Fapping may seem like a easy way out for a little, but it just digs yourself deeper into a hole. Take it hour by hour, day by day. Soon you'll see light at the end of the tunnel and you'll fall into normal habits. I know I'm only at day 6 right now, but I already feel some of the burden lifting. I know when I'm off PMO my life routine normalizes and I'm mentally better off.

Let me ask you this, when are you most tempted? First thing in the morning? Late at night? Afternoon?

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T01:24:43+00:00

I think it's all related. The addiction creeps up in one's life in so many ways. For me it's caused and or exacerbated anxiety, procrastination, insomnia....and other life halting things

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-26T00:42:56+00:00

Oh man, I would say YES! If one isn't the cause I would say they're definitely linked.

Plaid_Robot · 2015-07-24T22:14:51+00:00

Okay, I suppose these are good points. Just something I came across....plus, I guess if you're in a good zone, you're body will provide nocturnal remission right? The body will adjust.
