It?s been a long time since I posted on this specific thread, but I?m now at 66 going on 67 days. It?s been having it?s ups and downs. Once I started having sex again it?s been much more easy going, but I do have some temptations. I almost relapsed the other night. I was in a mood for a couple days and something had me going. I needed a release, bad. Wife wasn?t around for the old fashioned way and I needed something. I even went so far as to get a clean up towel. As I went to grab it, something stopped me. I had the url typed up ready to send and was about to go to town. I thought about how far I have come. How much progress I made. I had to skip the gym and other helpful activities for a few weeks due to a hectic work schedule and I really noticed the difference. A week or so without the gym was ok but longer than that had me close to going back to my old ways... rubbing one out whenever I needed a release or escape. I stopped myself though. I?m glad I did. I hit the gym yesterday for the first time and minimized the other tempting activities that I noticed I was doing. I even had sex with a full erection last night (the past week or so I wasn?t sure I?d be able to). After a scare of relapse I?m back on track again. I?m glad I am. While it sucks disciplining yourself, the benefits are great and I really enjoy them. So does my wife!
So some words of encouragement for those in doubt! It?s a battle. And it can be won! Closing in on 70 days with no PMO and I am still struggling at times. But that?s the hook with all addictions, it needs to be worked at, and it gets better. Some setback may come and you may get tempted, but you keep moving forward. When you are tempted, don?t do it! Save that pleasure snd orgasm for someone you care about. They?ll appreciate it a lot more then your hand will!
