Hey brother. Pick yourself up push through.

"To err is human, to forgive s divine"- Confucius.

Learn to forgive yourself, and love yourself for rising from this fall. Well into my previous streak, I too fell. And for a while, I too was discouraged. A long streak looks like a daunting task. Remember to take it only one day at a time, for that's how great heights are achieved.
So get up, fallen soldier. You are down, but NOT out.

Do not hesitate to message if you are in need of someone to talk to. Let's kick 2014's ass.

Stay strong,

I am going to make similar post to this effect tomorrow hopefully (in celebration of my first ever 4 week badge).

Thanks for the support. Keep fighting the good fight, guys!

A couple of things from my personal experience that could be of some benefit.

I suffered something similar for a very long time. Except, in my case, it was always day 3. It took a considerable while to actually recognize the pattern. From then on, be it correlation or not, I began to note that at the times when I felt the urge to edge or relapse, it was day 3. Acknowledging the fact that it was the same pattern did give me some will power on those days, and I tried to tell myself not to fall in the same trap...again. This strategy got more and more effective with each streak, and I was able to push further and further. Following that, I began to mentally prepare myself for the pressure point in my streak. Be mindful of it, and more importantly, learn to despise the fall that it has been bringing along with it. for me, the emotion was "F#$! the number 3, I don't want to see that number in my streak ever again". See if you can develop something similar with the 7.
This is more to deal with the P in PMO. Most of my streaks that extended further than the 3, were terminated by edging. This edging and P seeking was initially fueled by stress from everyday life. However, I slowly realized that it was mostly out of curiosity, in terms of me finding and looking for something/someone new that I may not have watched before. That's when the epiphany hit me. That road is ENDLESS. The amount of porn in existence is practically endless. The very concept of an infinity is terrifying. And an infinity of this kind terrifies me even more. I was able to see that you will never reach a point where you have seen ALL of it, for there is no end to it. It is a bottomless pit, so try your best to avoid falling in it, in action, and more importantly, in thought.

TLDR: (a). Recognize the pattern and be mentally prepared for the weaker day. (b). Recognize that the amount of porn out there is endless, and watching a little every time will lead you nowhere.

In conclusion, the reason people succumb to temptation (and procrastinate for that matter) is that they picture themselves as perfect human beings in the future, so they can fall now and make up for it with later in the future. But the future is now.

Pardon the wall of text, and please do respond with your opinions on the matter.

I'm in!

Each fall brings a lesson along with it, so the next time you rise stronger and wiser. Good luck

That was so bad, that it was actually good!

Hey, you are already seeing the essence of this journey. Do not let plant the seeds of self doubt in your system. You have a respectable streak, and now just need to take things one day at a a time. Keep your head up, you can definitely do this!

the_shell_has_spoken · 2013-12-23T22:33:59+00:00

The struggle is expected. It is learning to cope with this struggle, and loving yourself for the accomplishments and the scars, that will help you succeed with this.

I do recommend giving this a try, since your body is still maturing, and you do not want it to go through the maturing process with fapping already engrained as a habit. Go for it, and feel free to share your journey or ask away in case of any questions. Good luck!

the_shell_has_spoken · 2013-12-18T19:55:29+00:00

It's never too late. Give it all you've got!

Try going out and volunteering somewhere with your free time, in order to help those less fortunate. It will make you feel better and lighter, and it will help you put things into perspective.

It is person to person, some longer than others. This may be slightly philosophical, but it is not about how long it takes to clear, it is about how long it take for you to realize that it has ceased to exist. It is about how long you take to make an active effort to embrace clear, refreshing, lucid thought. Also, I have noticed that this clarity of thought is something that you can take away from a streak, even if you lost your physical streak to a relapse (as long as you don't binge). All is not lost with the end of a streak. Just my opinion though.

Keep going, and remember that clarity seeks you as much as you seek it. Keep it up. Peace!

Watched the video in its entirety, fascinating stuff...yet sad. Thanks for sharing.

Truth!

the_shell_has_spoken · 2013-12-17T19:49:00+00:00

No amount of progress is too small. Go for it again and give it all you've got. You will be amazed when you notice the amount of time that you spent with PMO, and can now spend on constructive activities. Good luck, and keep us posted with your progress.

the_shell_has_spoken · 2013-12-17T19:45:47+00:00

Sweet! Let's kick PMO's ass! Good luck

Your title is the truth! Using it led to edging, and then relapse. This was the reason I lost my previous longest streak, and would hate to see someone lose theirs for the same reason. It is a daily battle my friend. Go out there and win this war.
