Day 4 since relapse without pmo

Exactly what happened to me, I went to the psychiatrist today and told her about my compulsive habit of pmo. I really miss my girlfriend right now, 2 more weeks alone until she gets home.

Stop drinking while rebooting. All my relapses happened when I was drunk. I get ultra horny while being hungover. Don't drink!

On YBOP, there is an article and a part of it discusses how, with time, people could start mistaking anxiety for arousal, because both raise dopamine or something like that. Drinking increases my anxiety and I've PMOed many times because of this. It's one of the reason why I haven't hit the bottle in 38 days. My anxiety is lower.

Look, this is the section of that article:

"Many of these same emotional states (anxiety, shame, shock, surprise) not only elevate dopamine, but each can also boost stress hormones & neurotransmitters (norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol). These stress neurochemicals increase excitement while amplifying dopamine?s already powerful effects. Over time a porn user?s brain can mistake feelings of anxiety or fear for feelings of sexual arousal. This helps explain why some porn users escalate into ever more shocking or anxiety invoking porn ? as they need that extra neurochemical jolt just to become sexually aroused, or to orgasm."

Drinking increases my anxiety hence the above is true. If you get anxiety from drinking, maybe you should stop.
