I won't go into all the reasons why I'm doing this; but I will say that on most days I could masturbate 7 or 8 times and...I felt like crap after. It was out of boredom, pure and simple. I'd find myself looking for more and more extreme types of porn, just to kill the time.
This is my second attempt at going 90 days No PMO. I relapsed on day 17 on the first attempt, so I've already beaten my previous record. that's a good sign.
I had major cravings on days 8 and 9 and have been fine up until today. I've got cravings worse than ever; but I'll fight it.

I'm on day thirteen on my recovery progress. I have never made it further than this but I have made it this far several times before. I'm usually feeling very sexually frustrated at this time. But this time its different, I just feel "normal". I do get horny if I think about sex and I can get the "blue balls"-feeling. But, if I start to think about something else I can pretty easily direct it and just feel normal again.

I have fallen into a pesky dry masturbation trap again, doing it every few days. Tonight I decided to go back to the drawing board. It occured to me that while having all those necessary tools in place like meditation and exercise, it's going to take serious sacrifice to reap the benefits of being superhuman. In my life, the answer lies in having a monumental goal ahead of you. It shouldn't be just about being abstinent, although we all have to start somewhere, just like in AA. However, there has to be something that gets you fired up and passionate.

Have I relapsed? I suppose in a way I have. I deliberately viewed porn images on my computer last night for at least an hour. When I saw the first image I felt a bolt of energy going through my stomach. I just had to see more and more and more. That's the problem isn't it? That's why porn addiction is so difficult to quit; it's only a click away, especially if you have wireless broadband and a laptop which you can take to bed with you! Maybe I should marry my laptop!

Ups and downs
Yes, it seems like everyone else giving up the curse of porn and subsequent masturbation, I’m going through withdrawal. After studying the site, I’ve come to realize that my lack of spirituality and the fact that I’m currently unemployed both are factors which do not aid my plight. What is wonderful though is that I feel a positive difference in myself and I think others around me sense that as well.

I'm still coming to terms with all the time and energy I have thrown away by my addiction to masturbation and pornography. I feel better as a person probably not only because I've stopped masturbating but because I have decided that my life has to change. I am definately feeling calmer and my concentration is improving. My drive however, is still a little lacking. The difficulty now of course is to find activities to fill the hole in a life which was previously filled with the obsession with viewing internet porn and it's subsequent dopamine kick through self abuse.
