Well so whats next for my next attempt. Not getting my phone or pc to bathroom or bed worked wonders. I think I will definitely stick to it. I will also put a timer on my laptop so it will stop having internet access after 12(does anyone know a software that I can make this happen?) I won't be able to set the timer for tonight because we are going to be studying with my girlfriend and friends till morning for an exam tomorrow.
I think one of the reasons for my fail could be attributed to the fact that I wasn't able to gym for last couple days and didn't sleep enough maybe. So next task is working on that I think.
Definitely. A big thing Blueheronfan (who is having a lot of success) brought up is that we have to catch ourselves earlier in the process. There seems to be a point of no return where it's pretty done for. So catching the small things and catching the urge earlier and earlier in the process is really important.
Like right now, I have been getting these super brief thoughts of old pmo stuff popping into my head, they are very weak, almost not there no feelings attached to them. The stupid/addictive part of brain may think it's okay to endgage with these thoughts, but it's not. It's pretty easy to eliminate all these thoughts now and keep myself occupied. But if I didn't do that and I engage with them, fantasize etc. that would have me probably done for in 2-3 days. So it's like I am getting through my urge now, two days in advance, when it's quite doable (It takes being humble and vigilant). Rather then having to fight it when it reaches that super strong point. Granted those strong urges happen, but looking for any little thing early on to handle can help the odds.
So lack of sleep, not working out. For sure contribute, any other factors in the last few days you can think of? So you can correct them in the future?
