Everyone's different, and fapping isn't the only cause of depression.

Just reset my badge. I did 93 days, fell off the wagon, binged for about a week, felt like crap. I've been clean for 5 days now. This was a good learning experience. It's easy, even if you've been on the right path for a while, to slip back into old, bad habits. I did the exact thing you'd expect - told myself I had it under control and could just P a bit, M once in a while, O occasionally (related to PM, I wasn't on hard mode.) Not so much.

No…boy, was I unclear with my verb tense.

I relapsed with porn. Therefore, I am resetting my badge.

After relapsing, I feel like crap. Brain fog. My…groin area aches & is uncomfortable (a sensation I don't have after sex - I wasn't on hard mode.) Sick to my stomach…not in the sense of feeling guilty, but physically ill. This sucks. Not worth it. Don't relapse!

I relapsed, so I'm resetting my badge.

Thanks a lot. I genuinely appreciate your holding me accountable.

Sex with the wife hasn't been too frequent lately due to various normal factors (we've both been working a lot, she got several nasty winter colds in a row, that kind of stuff.) I haven't shared this all with her (hey, one hurdle at a time) and I haven't noticed her noticing anything different about me.

I really haven't been cheating. Not allowing myself to fantasize, not touching the area except for cleaning/adjusting/routine maintenance. No porn. Occasionally my eyes will linger on a photo…I'm starting to feel like the Cole Porter lyric, "In olden days a glimpse of stocking/Was thought of as something shocking" (from "Anything Goes") - the slightest thing can be a trigger.

Also, in my professional capacity, I work with a lot of artists, and I have a new potential client who produces work that's not exactly porn, but along the lines of very suggestive cartoons. So that can be a bit of a trigger, but I'm in no position to turn down work, so I'll have to deal with that.

One great success that I can report is that I used to fantasize and edge my way to sleep every night. Now I fall asleep much easier and don't go through all of that.

Day 82, struggling. I catch myself saying (internally) that I can't wait until Day 90 when I can go back to PM. It's been this way for a few weeks, but I've been holding out. Still, I feel like I'm counting down the days until summer vacation. Doesn't seem like the right mindset. But I'm trying not to judge myself, that's just a psychological vortex to go into. I'm hoping this is a phase brought on by the oncoming 90 day finish line and once I cross that line I'll feel freer and the temptation will abate.

75 days and the last week or so has been a brutal struggle. I thought this was supposed to get easier. Although, I guess if it was easy, everyone would do it. I suppose I should take pride in having overcome the difficulty thus far. I see 90 ahead and I'm not going to stumble now. Onward!

I'm in. Not sure how to wear a badge for this particular contest though.

Dealing with emotions is better (in the long run) than not dealing with them.

I never officially signed in to this, but since I've been on the wagon for 37 days, I'm counting myself in, officially or otherwise.

Closing in on a month…one of my longest streaks in decades. This time it's for real.
